Job Hunting in the Netherlands with Elsa Tranquillo

In this episode of Expat podcast the Netherlands, I talk with Elsa Tranquillo — an Italian professional who’s been living in the Netherlands for several years and knows the job-search reality here firsthand. Through her own experiences applying, interviewing, and navigating the Dutch market, Elsa shares practical, valuable advice on what really makes a difference when you’re trying to land a role.

We dive into the nuances behind Dutch hiring culture, how to position your story in a way that resonates locally, and the small shifts that can dramatically improve your chances — from networking with intention to making your CV and LinkedIn feel “Dutch” without losing who you are. She also shares her own experience with self-discovery that came along with living and working in new country. If you’re looking for grounded, actionable tips to move your job search forward and how to develop yourself in the meantime, Elsa delivers.

At Your Move to the Netherlands, we support expats in building a happier, more effective and more confident life in the Netherlands.

Whether you’re preparing to move, already settling in, or trying to find your way in Dutch work culture, we offer a range of courses, coaching and practical support. We help you navigate daily life, understand the Dutch way of working, find a job, develop your career, and integrate in a way that feels natural and empowering.
