Your motivation to move to the Netherlands
If you’re planning to relocate to the Netherlands, or to any foreign country in general, coming up with a story behind the idea of relocating to a new country is crucial to you finding a job. There are many cases in which people do not wish to relocate to the Netherlands without a set job, but usually, these profiles are rejected faster than the ones who are already living here.
International Application Context
As you probably expect, we receive applications from all types of nationalities. They come from hundreds of thousands of miles away and the fact that they are applying for a job in a country in which they’ve never lived before is very brave and admirable. But they seem to forget that what they are doing is a life-changing decision and never think about truly expressing their reasoning behind relocating to the Netherlands. In our eyes as recruiters, it can be a sign that this applicant is applying to jobs all over the world and are really not serious about where they end up- but that just doesn’t cut it.
