WORKSHOP: LOOKING FOR WORK IN THE NETHERLANDS | LEIDEN UNIVERSITY

April 24 @ 1:15 pm - 3:00 pm

Nannette Ripmeester will deliver the workshop ”Looking for work in The Netherlands” for LLM international students of Leiden University. This interactive workshop is aimed at bringing clarity to early career development for international students that are looking for work in the Netherlands.

After the workshop, participants will understand more about the Dutch labour market as well as the cultural differences in the Dutch application process and procedures. It will give international law students a better picture of what to expect and how to move forward with their career in the Netherlands.

We’ll answer questions such as what’s the best CV format for the Netherlands, how to write a successful application letter, what questions to expect in a Dutch job interview, what to wear (or not to wear). But apart from the practicalities around job hunting, we also look into intercultural differences in job searching and doing business around the globe with the help of the employability game, CareerProfessor.works.

Key learnings:

  • Working for an NGO/Law firm/Financial Organisation
  • Challenges that COVID brings, but also its opportunities
  • Information about recruitment culture in The Netherlands (Practical information about interviews such as the type of questions asked, how to make a good CV, assessments) and preparation for online interviews
  • Finding work as an International student (without speaking the Dutch language)
  • How do I sell myself and the programme I’m following to an employer
  • and Networking
