As you may have read, I’m moving to Amsterdam and that’s why I’m looking for a job in this new country. I’m interested in a job as a Digital Communication Manager/specialist/producer.
So, here is a little list of the websites where you should have a look in order to find you dream job. I’ll update it when I find new ressources, it’s an ongoing process. Your help is also welcome.
The Netherlands is one of the country with the biggest reach for Linkedin and Twitter. So make sure to have a look to the jobs section and to take care of your profile. Also, a lot of recruiters and companies allow you to apply directly via with your Linkedin profile (with one click)!
If you are from abroad and can tell your actual employer you are looking for a new job: make sure to change your “actual location” to the newly desired one. Your recommended jobs will change accordingly.
