Hi everyone,
I am from Malaysia and currently been living in The Netherlands for 6 months. I don't speak Dutch fluently yet, but I've been told that my Dutch is sufficient enough to find a job. My highest education is upper secondary school. Which I understand is the level of education where you would have completed at the age of 16.
I have 11 years experience working in the service industry, namely restaurants, hotels and retail. I speak fluent English and Malay,sufficient Mandarin, some other chinese dialect and currently learning Dutch.
Despite the crisis going on in the job market, where do I stand in finding a job which I have a passion for? Which is retail sales. I keep getting rejections from the job applications I had sent for, without a direct and clear message of what I might be lacking.
I have tried a lot of the websites and Uitzendbureaus as well as walking into shops with vacancy signs with a resume at hand. Any Dutch recruiters who can help me?
