TO BE CONFIRMED
WAITING
The clock is ticking
You have the experience. You have applied for weeks, maybe months. And the longer it takes, the heavier it gets.
Every month without income adds pressure. Investing in yourself feels hard when nothing is coming in.
And when you do get a conversation, it is difficult to come across as calm and confident when inside you feel the opposite.
Nothing is wrong with you
You are not alone in this. Almost every international we work with has been exactly here.
Often the issue is not you. It is how you are presented. Most internationals we meet think their LinkedIn profile is fine.
But a recruiter in the Netherlands reads a profile in about eight seconds, and what makes sense to you often says very little to them.
YOUR FLIGHT PLAN
Clear direction, story and plan
DIRECTION
We help you get clear on the kind of role that truly fits you, so you stop applying for everything and start aiming for the right things.
STORY
Your story, LinkedIn profile and CV, shaped so employers in the Netherlands see your value at first glance.
TOOLS
Smart tools that do the heavy lifting. You get a personal LinkedIn audit before the workshop, and your own AI career consultant helps you with every next step after the workshop.
YOUR ROUTE THIS AFTERNOON
Six stops. One afternoon. You land with everything ready.
You bring your laptop, your CV and your LinkedIn profile, and you work on them with personal feedback from Aiva and Simon.
01 · CHECK-IN
Your AI career consultant
Set up your own workspace in ChatGPT or Claude, so everything you make today comes together in one place.
02 · STOP
Who you are here
How your own background and values become a strength in the Dutch job market.
03 · STOP
Your story and target role
What you bring, and how to say it in one clear sentence.
04 · STOP
Your LinkedIn profile
Your personal LinkedIn audit, and the changes a recruiter in the Netherlands will notice.
05 · STOP
Your CV
A version that is short, results focused and ready to send.
06 · STOP
Your employers and network
A list of employers that fit your life, and your first coffee chat request.
ARRIVAL

A CV that is ready to send
A list of employers in the Netherlands that fit your life, not just your CV
Your own AI career consultant that knows your story, for every next step

STRATEGIC CAREER COACH
Simon Jansen
Before becoming a coach, Simon held 14 different roles at Dutch banks, including Managing Director. Along the way he hired more than 100 people, many of them internationals, so he knows how hiring decisions in the Netherlands are really made.

Congratulations! Your membership simply runs on: you complete your 10 payments and keep access to everything for the full 12 months, including modules for your first months in your new job.
Can I pay later, once I have a job?
Unfortunately not. From 20 November 2026 new European consumer credit rules apply, and under these rules we can’t offer payment later than 30 days after the workshop. So we keep it simple: the Career Club, or pay for the workshop within 30 days.
What if I don’t find a job?
Then the Career Club is there for you for 12 months, with office hours, workshops and people who keep you going. We can’t promise you a job, but we can promise to take your ambitions seriously.
What if I can’t make it?
Let us know before the workshop starts. You can move your seat to another date, or get your €19 back. If you don't show up without letting us know, we keep the €19, but we'll still offer to move it to another date.
What if I can’t stay the whole afternoon?
That’s fine. Life happens, and we’d rather see you for part of the afternoon than not at all. Just let us know when you sign up, so we can make sure you get the most out of the time you’re there.
Do I need to speak Dutch?
No. Many roles in the Netherlands are in English. We help you show your value clearly and explain your Dutch level in a way that builds trust instead of raising doubts.
How do I know you can help someone like me?
We have worked with internationals from more than 30 countries and many different fields. And you start with just €19 for your seat.
