I want to Move to Netherlands?
I want to move to Netherlands for 2 years, Thus I need full time job there, does anyone know websites for or companies hiring NON Dutch speaking financiers. I speak English, little German, very little Swedish, perfect Russian and Georgian (native). I have MSc in financial and industrial economics and experience in finance, marketing and public sector. all the websites I stumbled on are offering jobs for Dutch speakers only or Dutch is required together with other languages (mainly English). totally forgot to mention, I am not EU/EEA citizen.

Well I can give you sites, but depending on your nationality then it is not as easy as just applying for a job. The reason I say this is that unless you hold an EEA passport, then to move over here with the wish to live and work, then you would have to find an employer who would apply for a work permit on you behalf. That work permit would not be granted unless it was proven that the job is of such a specialist nature that no-one else in the total pool of labour from (not just the Netherlands but the) whole EEA area. So whilst a MSc is a good start, it is not a guarantee because there are no end of Dutch and other EEA graduates in the same field currently taking any job they can because of not being able to find jobs in the current economy. On the education level alone you would not qualify for a highly skilled migrant and so it would depend on your work experience if you could qualify for a highly skilled migrant visa. You can read more about the details of the process here in a question I answered a while ago for another American interested in the same. It gives links to the IND (Dutch immigration site), how to look for jobs and accommodation as well. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Au4FSM_iOwVeAeSn5NGVt4fty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20081029005645AAYhd63 (saving me retyping and also this turning out to be a very long answer!) As mentioned, you also have to take into account that the economy is having an effect on the EEA market and whilst the Netherlands is not (yet?) as badly affected as other EU countries such as Spain or the UK, of course the labour market in those countries are free to move to the Netherlands as well and jobs that don't require many qualifications/experience are easily filled by EEA passport holders. So you need to check what is the case with your nationality first and you can do this by using the wizard on the Dutch immigration site here http://www.ind.nl/EN/verblijfwijzer/ So yes you can apply but unless you have very specific skills/education which are highly in demand then no employer is going to wait 6 months (which is how long it can take to get a work permit granted) nor undergo the risk of being rejected at his cost when the market is plentiful of candidates eligable to work in these times. You can verify my comments on this site http://www.undutchables.nl/candidates/working-in-the-netherlands/work-permit/ Anyway, links? Well you can try with recruitment agencies but I fear that they will tell you the same as what I have. A job agency is an 'Uitzendburo' or 'Uitzendbureau' anda link to the yellow pages here http://yellowpages.goudengids.nl/displayhome.ds?locale=en_NL&visitorUid=8a90219019e8964d0119fceb83741af7&passwordToken=E644C26C-E692-C22B-C325-C9DC39460A68&newSearch=true&previousPath=displayhome Here are links to sites which have jobs in English: http://www.bluelynx.nl http://www.xpatjobs.com http://jobs.expatica.com/nl http://www.undutchables.nl What you can also do is check the Dutch version of Monsterboard and type "English" in the 'trefwoord' (keyword) field http://www.monsterboard.nl Good luck
