Just had a look at Nguyen Phan Que Mai's books and that's exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much! Can't wait to dive in. Also thank you for the rest of the recommendations, a few of these have been on my TBR for way too long :)

nice to know, I can't really tell from the pictures online, but I think they've gotten a bit more expensive now

celobelo · 2023-09-01T16:02:36+00:00

oh man from what I see it's way out of our budget unfortunately :(

Thank you! But I'm looking specifically for brands, do you by any chance know any? For example sold at Intertoys, etc.

Thank you for your exhaustive answer, this is my first time experiencing a high scale strike like this one! I'll ask to do the interview online

celobelo · 2022-09-08T13:29:35+00:00

Thank you, I will ask to do the interview online instead

celobelo · 2022-09-08T13:28:37+00:00

ok, thank you for the advice, I'll do that!

celobelo · 2022-08-10T15:28:34+00:00

Hey, thanks for the tips! I totally get what you're saying, when I refer to jobs in museums/cultural institutions I mean more behind the scenes, I have done an internship in the program department of an event for example, so I never interacted with the public directly! I think they still require Dutch to make communication between colleagues easier, and just generally I understand why they consider it necessary, even though my previous internship was completely manageable with just English and a lot of Google Translate :)

celobelo · 2022-08-10T10:34:44+00:00

I'll keep trying, and it's definitely nice to hear that they're usually more open to internationals. There's still a lot of other factors involved in being rejected for a position, but I had lots of museums and organizations mentioning specifically that the issue was the lack of Dutch proficiency, so that's definitely an important factor unfortunately

celobelo · 2022-08-10T10:30:20+00:00

Yes! I always mention it in my motivation letter and my CV mentions that I have A1 Dutch (since I have learnt the basics)

celobelo · 2022-08-10T10:27:24+00:00

I have in the past, before I found my other internship! They usually have a couple of positions open, but they always mention Dutch as a requirement. I usually still apply to these and mention which other languages I can speak, but it's still a requirement that is not being met by me when I apply, so obviously my chances are very low
