​About this session

​Many international professionals are capable, experienced, and motivated. But when it comes to finding work in the Netherlands, something doesn’t always translate.

​Applications don’t lead to interviews. Conversations don’t move forward. Feedback stays vague or doesn’t come at all.

​This is what we call the visibility gap.

​It’s not about having more skills. It’s about how your experience is understood in a different context.

​Following the previous session, we’re running this workshop again with a sharper focus on practical application and real examples.

​This is not a lecture. We will actively work on your profile during the session.

​What to expect

​• Small group, focused setting

• Short explanations + practical exercises

• Work directly on your CV or LinkedIn

• Real examples and live rewriting

​What we will work on

​• Where your profile is unclear or too generic

• Translating international experience into local relevance

• Rewriting key parts of your CV or LinkedIn

• Making your value easier to understand at a glance

​Who this is for

​• Internationals currently looking for work in the Netherlands

• People applying but not getting interviews

• Professionals who feel their experience is not coming across clearly
