La storia di Álvaro

A good friend of Álvaro traveled to work in Holland in March, returned in the summer and shared his experience with Álvaro. He explained in detail what his experience had been like, what documents he needed to be able to travel and his work experience.

Once the information had been digested, Álvaro contacted the agency TenS Holanda to apply for job offers and to be able to live the same experience as his friend.

His selection consultant was Lucía, who interviewed him and advised him on his way to the Netherlands. Álvaro tells us that the selection process was really fast and they made it all very easy.

His objective in this adventure was to save money to be able to pay for a course that he is studying in computer programming.

Álvaro confesses that his first days were not entirely easy and it took him a bit to adapt to the change of country and culture. He also assures that a few days later he was already integrated and adapted.

In the middle of his adventure, he has returned to Spain to take an exam for his programming course, but once he has passed this procedure, he wants to return to the Netherlands.

Regarding the workplace, Álvaro is very happy with the experience. He highlights the company, the good atmosphere among colleagues and recognizes that the tasks were simple for him, which is why he was very bearable.

Álvaro has been living in Breda together with the friend who recommended this adventure. The only negative aspect that he wanted to highlight was that they lived in a hotel and on the days they were late from working the kitchen was closed and they couldn’t eat anything.

On the other hand, his friend was given a car with which they would travel to work and to the supermarket.

On days off, Álvaro took the opportunity to visit cities like Tilburg or Rotterdam (whenever the weather was good). He was struck by the beauty of these cities and the high level of life that is breathed.

Finally, Álvaro recommends this experience to his friends and even his brother. We from TenS Holanda, we want to wish you the best in your computer course and how long you want to return, here we will be!

La storia di Jeanette

With her older and independent children, Jeanette believed it was her time. She used to work half a year in Sweden and the other half in Tenerife, suddenly the pandemic arrived and this kept her locked up at home for 8 months, generating a depression and the need to change of scene.

One fine day, she came across an offer to work in the Netherlands on InfoJobs, and from then on everything changed.

She applied to the offer and, from one week to the next, she was already in Holland. Jeanette wants to highlight the work of Alessandra, who was the recruitment consultant who interviewed her and has helped her in this experience.

Now, months later, she couldn’t be happier with the decision she made to live this adventure.

As for the accommodation, at first she was not happy with the homes that she received, but they quickly moved her to the new accommodations. She acknowledges that the facilities are very good, but she had some problems living with colleagues since she did not pick up and she had to chase them.

 

Later, her daughter came to work with T&S Holanda, and asked the agency to allow her to go live with her. Her wish was granted and she could be living with her daughter and a friend of hers. Currently, her daughter is gone, but she lives in a house 5 minutes from work, with 4 wonderful people with whom the coexistence is very good. She also highlights the good relationship she has with Juanjo with whom she also works.

As for the workplace, at first it was difficult for her to adapt to the position and for them to adapt to it as well. Once the adaptation process is over, she tells us that the work environment is very good.

Jeanette tells us: “I know colleagues from the agency who are working in other companies, and they say that as in my company, in none.”

Also, Jeanette is going to start hanging out with her co-workers and doing a little social life with them. She also admits to us that she is a very calm and homely person.

Finally, Jeanette recommends this experience to everyone, her friend Yolanda is now in the selection process and her son is thinking about it too. She wants to achieve the goal of staying there indefinitely, getting a house for herself and returning to Tenerife just to visit.

From T&S Holanda, we want all your goals to be met and we are happy that you are enjoying this new stage of your life.

LA STORIA DI JORGE

Jorge was looking for a change of scene and contacted a friend of hers who was living in the Netherlands. She told him that she was hesitating between studying for a higher degree or going abroad to work. His first option was to go to the United States, but his friend invited him to try the experience of living and working in Holland.

Her friend has an acquaintance who is working with TenS Holanda, and since he is very happy, she recommended to Jorge that he apply through this temporary work agency.

He sent his CV and in just two days, he received a call where they informed him of the conditions of the offers and others. After conducting the interview, it only took him a week to get to Holland.

Now he is very happy with his decision to go to Holland, although he admits that at first it was difficult for him to adapt. Jorge was very used to his routines in Spain and he was afraid of arriving in a country unknown to him.

His goal with this experience has been to work as much as he can and save, to come back for Christmas and enjoy his family.

After Christmas is over, he wants to go back to the Netherlands and look for accommodation closer to work.

Regarding his current accommodation, he admits that he was very lucky, since four people live in a house and there are four rooms. Jorge has not had to share a room, which is usually the case.

In relation to moving from his house to work and vice versa, Jorge used to travel by car with the transport service, where a driver would pick him up, but now, this has changed and he is riding his bike and it takes a little over half an hour . His bike was lent to her by a friend and it doesn’t work very well.

In the workplace, he tells us the following: “I’m not lying to you, I love my job, for me it’s like playing Tetris”. He tells us that his supervisor asked him if he thought his work was hard and Jorge replied: “It doesn’t seem hard to me, I think it is very funny.”

He also loves the work environment and the relationship with colleagues. Now they have changed his shift, but he has quickly bonded with his new teammates.

After work, Jorge takes the opportunity to rest and took his console so he could disconnect.

On a day off, he takes the opportunity to go with some friends for a walk, go to bars and, if he has to go out partying later, then too.

On the other hand, he likes to photograph landscapes and is enjoying the wonders of Holland.

He has two friends who are unhappy with another agency and Jorge has recommended that they switch to his, since he is very happy. He has also recommended that his father take the opportunity to live this experience.

We greatly appreciate your time in the interview and we are glad that you are enjoying this adventure. We are waiting for you around Christmas and we hope that everything continues to go just as well.
