super_belgium2Hey guys Can someone find a job in Brussels without speaking Dutch? I have been looking for 6 months now in the automotive industry but no luck even though I got 5 years experience in Customer Quality at Bosch, its frustrating because I am living here now but the job hunt is so hard without the local languages even though I speak English perfectly!!
Accepted answer
flanders_buildsIts definitely possible if you look in the right places like the EU bubble or the big NGOs and NATO where English is the main language, also big firms like Accenture or the Big 4 use English daily so you can find work there too. In my experience IT and customer support are the easiest sectors to get into if you only speak English but if you want to move into management or deal with clients you'll need French or Dutch eventually.
wait_and_see2If you stay in the private sector outside those international hubs employers often worry you wont integrate into the team culture (it is a real issue)
student_life_leuvenThat is so true! Do you think it is hard to get into those big consultancies too? Thanks for the advice!
JokingNonnieI saw a sign at a hotel once about bar staff openings, maybe try the hospitality side for now
super_belgium2Thanks everyone for the help!
