Tailoring your CV to a specific job is the most important take away from this video from my personal point of view i applied this and its a game changer at least to get your "foot in the door" for the first interview. Simply because keywords make it easier for the recruiter filter you out of the bunch! Thanks jovie!
I like you so much!! Proud of you for standing up against misogyny during an interview! That's so uncomfortable. Congrats on your new job!! It makes me so happy to see you happy :)
Congratulations! My partner and I just moved to Utrecht (on their highly skilled migrant permit) and I'll need to start my own job search here soon. Thanks for all the tips!
Gefeliciteerd met je nieuwe job. Uit de omschrijving van je nieuw job lijkt het me 100% op het lijf geschreven. Heel veel werk plezier toegewenst. Neem je positiviteit mee, op dezelfde manier als we deze steeds op TH-cam te zien krijgen. En geniet van "werknemer zijn" in Nederland.
I know the feeling very well to get rejected for a job, but when you have a good feeling about something: take care, but it cab be just the best ever job you'll get offered. Mylast experience: 2 years working on to be hired in, than told they don't go on with you because of 'costs' en within 8 months: 'Can you please come work here? We offer a full contract!' Still working there, and the job is just what I like! So, congrats to you for your new job!! Well done!
Congratulations! Sound advice. When I was still working/ job hunting, I applied the same kinds of alterations to my CV. That was many moons ago, but employers need to know that you at least write with their job offer/ firm in mind.
I guess you've noticed that if you go up the Euro Tower that no matter how high up you go you can still smell the Chinese Restaurant that is near it. If the restaurant is still there.
Congratulations for your new job!! I hope I can achieve my goal like you, your experience encouraged me to find an English-based job in Dutch business environment. Cheer up!!
I live in Los Angeles and love your videos. you look so put together and great each time. can you please do more videos and do videos on how old your kids are, how do you manage your household and working and just motherhood in general. thank you.
My alma mater! Always interesting abroad having to explain you are not two people sharing a business card and no, I don’t have more than one Dr. Degree either. Drs. or ‘doctorandus’ is latin for ‘he (she) to be promoted to doctor’. I’ll leave the rest up to you Jovie.
I just soent 5 min on a job site scrolling… and then I open TH-cam and this video is on top of my list of recommended videos. Big brother is def listening lol. Great video though :D
That’s crazy he said that. I always thought the Dutch were supposed to be overall much more idk, progressive and accepting. Of course everyone’s different but damn, in a professional interview? Insane.
Is that you dancing with the Moldovian musicians at Eurovision in the video of 10 May at the TH-cam Channel 'Songfestival Update'? The fragment starts at 02:55 min.
It is now June 11. this is my 2nd time watching your video. But now I know what that great event was. We've seen you on TV. in the background of another program, on 6.
We planning on moving from America to the Netherlands we have many questions such as are there America stores in Amsterdam where one can buy good from home
I'm planning to Move to the Netherlands. I'm American. How does it work with taxation? I know I still have to pay USA taxes and the Netherlands. I wish I could talk to someone, who can help me to understand the complications of living abroad with a different nationality.
Yay! Congrats on finding this job in the city where I live. Are you going to commute between Den Haag and Rotterdam every day? Or are there any plans on moving?
Minimum 36 to 40 hours max a week is fulltime. Anything past that is legally overtime and cannot be part of the employment contract as actual work time. The average work time per week drops as the sample window gets longer: Over any period of four weeks the maximum allowed average work time plus overtime is 55 hours. Over any period of 16 weeks, the maximum allowed average work time is 48 hours a week. No single week may ever have more than 60 work hours in total.
I never thought I had to sell myself during an job interview. I always felt I needed to represent (talk about) myself, my specific technical skills and social skills and how I view the job and my role in it. At my first interview I was nervous, after that all interviews were like normal conversations. And I always talk or negotiate about what they offer. And what they don’t offer, but what I think is important for me to accept the job. And really, money isn’t the most important thing for me to accept a job. I like to have a job where I can go to whistling in the morning and go home satisfied in the afternoon. Not every day of course, I have my moods also. I once had two job offers and I chose the one which offered me €200/month less, because I found that job/company more interesting and more challenging. It was outside my field of experience but within my expertise, I had the qualifications for the job. I did manage to limit the pay gap to €60/month. And I never tell a specific number if they ask what salary I want to earn. I always ask them in return what they think I’m worth to them and what they want to offer me. I’m 60 now and this always worked for me. But I have to be honest, I didn’t apply for a job or had an interview in the last 6 years. So times could have changed since then.
yes, it's all about selling yourself. Quite often your job skills are all but assumed from your resume, with the interview (while frequently touching them, mostly to weed out fakers) is mostly to gauge interpersonal skills, "fit" with the team, things like that. It's horrendously stressful for introverted people with autism like me, who have massive trouble roleplaying a normal person (as I call it) but are very good at their job if only they are given a chance. I may not be the guy raising toasts at the friday evening social event, in fact I'll probably not be there, but when the system goes down over the weekend while everyone else is nursing a hangover I'll be there fixing things if you know what I mean. But the first seems often to be more important to people than the latter, meaning I have trouble passing those interviews...
@@jwenting since most ppl, and most interviewers, are extraverts, they forget to focus on introverted qualities, like focus and availability on weekends. Better time management, bc you don’t lose a lot of time socializing. Independant, self-reliant, trustworthy, precise, punctual are attributes often found in introverts. Ofc a good fit is important, but most introverts are quite easy going and low maintenance.
Hi Jovie! I’ve been watching your videos and thinking of moving to Europe (not sure where yet specifically) I have a bachelors from Texas in politics not sure if that helps lol any advice or pointers On someone interested in having a political or legal job/career in Europe but as of late you have been really convincing me about moving abroad. Love your videos! Thanks
I can only speak about Germany, but I guess that advice is valid for Brussels and other large European capitals as well. Many American think tanks have branches here, and there are of course European think tanks with a focus on America. So your qualification might help here. Out of my head, and probably not the correct names and no idea what politcal affiliation they have, there is CARE Germany, Aspen Institute Berlin, German Marshall Fund, or the Carnegie foundation, There are also tons of international NGOs in Germany, by the way not only in Berlin, as Germany is a federal state with strong economical and political centers like Hamburg or Munich. Another idea would be to enlist in a (english-language) masters course in politics at a German university, possibly with a subsequent PHD. University is basically free in Germany, even for non-EU citizens, and afterwards, you're granted a visa for 18 or 24 more months where you can find a job, which then would also lead to a normal job visa with a clear path to permanent residence or even citizenship. There are tons of videos here about studying in Germany. I remember having watched a video about PHD from the channel "Black Forest Family", a channel by an American family living in Freiburg by the BlackForest and with very well researched material, by the way. Always worth watching and very informative. If you are from Texas, maybe you even have some German ancestor in your family with a possible path to a German and therefore EU passport. Same is true for other countries like Italy (no limit regarding number of generations as long as you can prove an Italian ancestor) or Ireland. Take care!
05:13 Klinkt discriminerend, alsof mannelijke collega's onderling alleen maar over werk praten, bij mij op het werk gaat het regelmatig helemaal nergens over en zitten we gewoon slap te lullen en dat mag ook zolang we ons werk maar gewoon goed doen
@@JoviesHome in a good way of course i was like WOW i know her!!! And i didnt know about your new job, congrats by the way. But well made me smile cos you usually do, i really appreciate your vids so hope the new job does not get in the way
Aw thank you so much!! Were/are you in Italy for Eurovision or did you see something on TV? I’ve been sharing a lot of my adventures on Instagram and TikTok this year. I just returned home today 🥰
@@JoviesHome it was the press conference with S10 i think even before the first rehearsel, i follow eurovision her on youtube so i saw it on one of their vids
@@JoviesHome You sneaky bastard! Haha. And then tell De Telegraaf that you did not understand the lyrics of "De diepte". 😅 If that is so, pleas ask a refund from your Dutch courses as it is very easy to understand the lyrics. Ah, you made my evening yesterday.
And then in your first week, some random colleague (out of the 3000 you now have) recognised you from your video's ;) Once again, welcome at the 'EUR'!
No offense, but this is a job that can quickly dissapear. Get yourself in something that no matter what economic situations, your job never goes away. Your type of work can easily be eliminated. But, congrats
@@jacobmannessen1191 Thank God they're not the U.S., but at the end of the day, those type of jobs are not an absolute necessity. Seems more like a "make work" job. Better be a plumber or building maintenance tech at that College.
Congrats. Just saw two of your videos but it's amazing. You really look like a German thinks a a Dutch lady looks like. Hmm, guess we are still under the spell of Linda de Mol.

Sad that it is again not a Dutch language job. Happy that you are Dutchified because you didn't care less about the 200 word instruction.
Congratulations! 👍
Congrats, cool that you now work for my alma mater :) !
Funny. I thought I saw you in pictures about Erasmus. (I studied there). I thought I was imagining things but it seems I was correct. Congratulations.

How many hours is considered "full time" in the Netherlands?
About 36 hours a week is a good average number
36 - 40 hours a week with a maximum of about 8 hours a day.
Minimum 36 to 40 hours max a week is fulltime. Anything past that is legally overtime and cannot be part of the employment contract as actual work time.
The average work time per week drops as the sample window gets longer:
Over any period of four weeks the maximum allowed average work time plus overtime is 55 hours.
Over any period of 16 weeks, the maximum allowed average work time is 48 hours a week.
No single week may ever have more than 60 work hours in total.
Thank you! what then is considered "part time"? 18/hrs a week? 20/a week?
@@lsfitchett4505 Yes; both numbers you mention are considered "part-time"
i dont see any chapters/timestamps :(
