General help appreciated!

Hi Mike

Apartments in the Netherlands are usually excluding bills. However just ask the rental agents.

Due to the 30% tax ruling, lots of expats move to the Netherlands, see this link.

Look at the info the expat centre gives.

Hope you enjoy Holland. I lived in Eindhoven close to Venlo. Its a beautiful area ... lots of camping cites and great for a lazy Sunday cycle through the foresty areas.

Thankyou Nikita,

Thats cleared some things up for me, thanks :)

Hello Mike: I hope you do good in the interviews. Venlo is a nice city and it is not too big. I live around 30 km from Venlo and I have moved to this area since Amsterdam is becoming too stressy for me.

Fair play and thanks for the reply, i currently live in manchester and life has just turned boring and repetitive. I really hope i get the job too, it would be a fantastic start to a fun new life :)

Life isnt bad when you have a job, but after being made redundant for the third job in a row you sort of get annoyed regarding the state of the country and the economy. Thanks for the tip regarding the agency that is helpful and trust me britain is not the same as it was 10 years ago!

Re: faisal, i dont know how to get you a job, try google, do some homework! Im not an agency, thanks.

Hey Mike,

I live not far from Venlo (in Nijmegen) and I'd say it's a pretty nice area. Also quite calm, but people here are amazingly nice, smiling and friendly. And around there u can find some nice hills (which as u may know are not typical for flat Dutch landscape)

Good luck!
Justine

How'd the interview go mate? if you haven't had it yet, best of luck

Yes, I wonder how did it go with their interviews in Venlo. I am still exploring the region. There are beautiful towns also in the German side: Kevelaer, Geldern and Kleve. The rest is farmland, but the food is really good and cheap.

Hey guys, well they said i was overqualified which is disappointing as they should of told me that before i flew out! Was a beautiful place though and im genuinally gutted they didnt give me the job, oh well time to keep hunting and following the dream!
