Pandora's key message: “Be bold and very direct, the Dutch will like you for it!"


My biggest challenge
I founded my company, a communications agency, over three years ago with the aim of making a positive impact on people and the planet.
My biggest challenge in the coming years is to stay in the Netherlands and grow my business.

My advice & top tips
Find out as much as you can about the Netherlands beforehand. Be aware that as an intern, you most probably won’t be paid, but once you have graduated, the salaries are really nice!

Quirky & cultural
The workplace in the Netherlands is a good place to be. There are many career opportunities, women are treated equally, the working hours are nice (nicer than in France!), meetings are generally well structured, and the agenda is usually followed.

And finally
I highly recommend the iamexpat.nl website that deals with (almost) everything you need to know about the Netherlands, from careers to housing, healthcare consumer rights, taxation and more!
