Opinion trabajar en Holanda en ETT

Braian’s adventure did not begin by chance, his sister has been working with T&S Holanda for a year and was the one who recommended that he live an experience like the one she was enjoying.

At that time, Braian applied for one of our offers through the website from which you are reading this blog.

The protagonist of this story tells us that the process was very fast and in just two weeks she was already in the Netherlands with work and accommodation.

Braian, a Colombian, admits that at first he had fears and doubts. He does not tell the following: “I had nerves and doubts, it is a new country where Spanish is not spoken. Think that I am Colombian and I have already experienced the change from Colombia to Spain and it was easy because of the language. This was a challenge.

His goal in the Netherlands is to save money to pay for his university degree in Fine Arts. As Braian tells, the cost of the materials used in this race is high.

In pursuit of this goal, he decided to leave during peak work season, where he knew he would be working long hours and would be able to save. After a month working there, she has realized that she is comfortable and wants to continue longer than she had planned.

At work, she highlights the friendliness of her colleagues and the heavy workload she has. He tells us the following: “The fact of having so much work makes you socialize with the person next to you because you are not going to be silent for 9 hours. You are interested in the other person and you get to know the most human side of your colleagues.”

Lastly, we talked about what he did on a day off. Braian told us that he takes the opportunity to do housework and above all, rest. Although the work is simple, he is very tired. He admits to us that during breaks from work is when the time of his life goes by faster.

We want to thank Braian for the time he has dedicated to us and we sincerely hope that his experience continues to be satisfactory and that he achieves all his goals.

A história de Gina

Gina landed in the Netherlands without knowing anyone, she didn’t know what the future would hold, but she wasn’t afraid. She already had experience dealing with this type of situation abroad.

She ventured to live this experience since she does not have children or anything that ties her to a specific place, so it was easy to make the decision.

Once there, she confesses that people seemed colder and perhaps also more distrustful than her in Spain, but little by little she has been adapting to her culture and her vision is changing.

In the first weeks, she had doubts, since you do not know what she is going to present there, but the work of Lucía (recruitment consultant) stands out, who knew how to advise and resolve all her doubts. Now that she is there, she confirms that everything is being just as Lucia told her.

Regarding work, Gina tells us that she is performing tasks in the logistics sector such as: picking, packing and order preparation. It is a bit tiring job, since you spend many hours on your feet and on the move.

The work itself is not heavy, but you do end up tired. What she’s most appreciative of is that overtime, weekends, and night shifts are paid very well.

Also, Gina is very happy with her colleagues and supervisors, who she describes as very nice. She tells us that they give their best to make you feel at home.

Regarding her roommates, she is super happy. She tells us the following: “I consider that I have been very lucky, with co-workers and with the people with whom

I live together. I have a very good relationship with everyone. “

On the other hand, the worst thing she is dealing with is the cold. In these winter months she confesses to us that it is hard.

Something that she is very satisfied with is her continuous improvement with English. She tells us that she arrived with a very basic level and that, as time progresses, she is awakening.

Finally, on her days off, she takes advantage of it to rest, do housework and little else. When she buys a bicycle, she will take the opportunity to visit cities and see more places in the country.
