Why nothing seems to be working

It's not you — you're just playing by the wrong rules.

Your CV is probably in the wrong format. Dutch recruiters expect a specific layout, your date of birth, and a separate letter called a motivatiebrief. Easy fix once you know what they want.

LinkedIn is everything here — recruiters scroll it all day. There's a Dutch way to use it, and most expats figure it out too late.

Dutch interviews will surprise you. They'll ask your salary on the first call and tell you straight up what they didn't like. It's not rude — it's just how it goes here.

"Dutch required" on every job post? Half the time they don't mean it. Knowing which companies are serious saves you months.
