Hi all,

After a while searching, I've got a telphone interview(at long last) for a job in Amsterdam which I'm rather keen on. Thing is, they want people 'dedicated' to living there permanently which I am (unless I hate it there of course).
Anyone got any tips that would convince them of my 'dedication' to living there? I have been there a few times and am keen to give it a go. Besides, the money/job(programmer) is good

thx in advance.

 

a cool place to live. I've had a number of friends who have spent a year or two out there.

no language probs, the dutch are friendly

 

I also know a few people who live there... all very friendly people


Rich.

 

Tell them you've been there already, and have noticed X, Y and Z which you really like.

Why is it better than the UK.

What you didn't like, and how it's not as important as what you did like (show you've weighed up pros and cons)

Any tendency to learn Dutch - maybe you don't need it, but it could help. Did you do German at school? And yes I know they are politically different, but the languages aren't.

HTH
