Job application and job interview in Dutch

Video lesson 19 is about the job application process. This lesson is of course very relevant for anyone who relocates to the Netherlands. Maybe the job itself is even the reason. Of course, this lesson does not give you the vocabulary to do the whole job interview in Dutch. Nevertheless, it is recommended to learn the words well. Some terminology you just have to know, even if you plan to speak only english at the job. While discussing specific terminology, this video lesson also tries to tell as much as possible about the job application process itself and its specifics in the Netherlands.
