Resettl - Career and Life in the Netherlands
A podcast for international professionals who have moved to the Netherlands or are planning to, focused on building both a career and a life there. Each episode takes on one concrete question, such as why finding a job in the Netherlands can be harder than expected, or how to reinvent yourself professionally when nobody knows you yet. It is hosted by Mirjam de Bakker and Corine van Dijk-den Ouden, the founders of Resettl, a Dutch career coaching practice for internationals and returning expats. One host comes from an HR background and the other from marketing, and both have lived abroad before coming back. The tone is honest, practical and never too serious.
