Workshop – Prepare for a job interview in Dutch
Workshop – Prepare for a job interview in Dutch
A practical individual or small-group workshop for international professionals who are ready for their next career step, but feel less confident when that step involves a job interview in Dutch.
Perhaps you’ve recently lost your job due to a reorganisation and are now starting an outplacement programme. Or maybe you’ve been thinking about making a career move for a while, but keep closing job vacancies as soon as you see “Dutch required.”
Not because you cannot do the job.
Not because your Dutch isn’t good enough for everyday life.
But because you cannot quite picture yourself speaking Dutch under pressure, in an interview, with someone evaluating every pause, word and sentence.
That uncertainty can make you underestimate yourself and rule out opportunities before you have even applied.
I’ve been working with international professionals in the Netherlands for years, and one thing I see again and again is that the biggest barrier is often not grammar.
It’s confidence.
Knowing how to talk about your experience in Dutch. Finding the words when you’re under pressure. Recovering when you make a mistake. And, most importantly, trusting yourself enough to keep speaking.
Dutch interviewers are not expecting perfect Dutch. They want to understand who you are, what you bring, and how you communicate.
That is a skill you can practise.
In this workshop, you will work on:
- talking confidently about your experience, strengths and achievements in Dutch
- answering common interview questions without relying on memorised answers
- handling moments when you don’t know the right word
- practising how to tell your professional story in Dutch
- building confidence through realistic interview situations
Whether you are preparing for your first Dutch-language interview, looking for a new job after a reorganisation, or simply ready to stop letting Dutch limit your career options, this workshop gives you a safe space to practise before it matters.
You don’t need perfect Dutch. You need the confidence to use the Dutch you have.
