Netherlands: Expat Negotiations - Need Advice!:

Hey there! Well, first check if the company you work for has an expatriation policy which states what is done by the company and what kind of compensation and support they'll give, both for you and your husband (transportation, housing, immigration fees, language and culture training, etc.), just to avoid any miscommunication or conflict. If they don't have one, ask them to come up with a detailed checklist of what needs to be done by whom, who's responsible and who's paying for it up to what level. Beware that you wouldn't need a contract here, just a secondment letter from your employer in the US. You're not entering a new employment, you're only working in a different subidiary, no new contract would be necessary. Having said that, your work situation here will have to comply with Dutch labor laws, you'd be entitled to the same benefits as local employees. Is that enough information for now? Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Netherlands: what made your relocation to the Netherlands succesful?:

Dear all, I'm a relocation service provider operating in the Amsterdam area. At the moment, I'm preparing all kinds of information for expatriates to be posted on our website. I have over a dozen years of experience in supporting expats here, I would certainly know what to advise people coming here, though I'd like to hear from those who actually went through it all themselves and succeeded. Could you please tell me what in particular made your relocation to the Netherlands a successful one? Was there something you did differently that made it easier for you to get adjusted here? Was it special preparations you did or joining a certain network? Most of all, I'd like to know what you can do pro-actively to make sure life in the Netherlands will be more enjoyable. You can respond to this post, otherwise send an email to b.kardolus@pruski.com . In the information on our website, we will only mention your first name and nationality, please let me know if you wouldn't want either mentioned, in which case you will remain totally anonymous. I'm very much looking forward to your responses. Thanks in advance, Bob Kardolus Pruski Relocation Services

Netherlands: Are u a teacher or assistant in the Netherlands?:

I taught English to Japanese expatriates for 11 years, also children. By the way, does anyone know some good online tools for teaching English for kids? I know great (free) resources for adults, was hoping there was also something similar for children.
