Do you know which language is spoken in the Capital of Europe?
Belgium, today seat of several institutional bodies of the European Union, is growing more international by the day. The presence of politicians, diplomats, and businessmen, NGO staff, next to representatives of international media, as well as lobbyists from all around the globe characterises the international flair of Belgian’s capital region that is often unofficially referred to as the Capital of Europe. Language plays an important role in the multilingual Belgian society. Writing your application letter in French while posting it to a company in the Dutch speaking part of the country usually does not earn you a lot of credit. But this is only one of the pitfalls a jobseeker from abroad can run into when looking for work in the constitutional monarchy.
Highlights of the ‘Looking for Work in Belgium’ guide: profiles of individuals who currently work in Belgium, a labour mobility ABC (i.e. your dictionary for moving and working abroad) and a checklist for preparing for an international move. This guide furthermore contains necessary information on working in Belgium such as distinct working habits, main routes to employment and important Internet sites to help you find employment. The ‘Looking for Work in Belgium’ guide is a tool that can be used by people who wish to study, travel and work abroad, as well as by corporations who send employees abroad on international assignments.
The entirely updated ‘Looking for Work in Belgium’ guide provides the necessary information to enter the international Belgian job market. Due to the great success of the guide on Belgium, Expertise in Labour Mobility has updated, extended and reprinted this guide. In over 100 pages, the guide tells you all you need to know to become successful on the Belgian labour market. We challenge you to find out what it takes to work in Belgium and order the guide via our website.
