Integrating Volunteering into your Job-Hunting Strategy

During the workshop, Sarah will share her own experience of going from an international student to working for a Dutch employer. You will learn more about the working culture in the Netherlands as well as the key economic clusters of the region. You will gain practical information on job hunting and career opportunities for internationals, and Sarah will share how volunteering may be a career strategy to unlock new opportunities.

This workshop is part of the supersized Mix & Match Volunteer Job Fair titled "Together at Home" held on May 11 alongside three more workshops: "Hidden Gems of The Hague" by Harry Bogers, guide at Gilde Den Haag, "Dutch Culture Decoded: Navigating Windmills, Bitterballen, and Directness!" by Gert-Jan Aleman, director of PEP Den Haag, and "Building Bridges: How Volunteering Bridges the Gap to Career Success" by Tetyana Benzeroual, Project Lead at PEP Den Haag.
