Over Imke
I moved from Berlin to The Hague two weeks ago. I am a registered nurse and a qualified journalist. I don't speak Dutch at the moment. I'm learning every day but I think it will take me a few weeks or months to reach level B2. I worked as a journalist in Germany for over 35 years, including ten years in Spain. After a dramatic breakup with a narcissist, I left Spain head over heels (thank God). After ten years I had no or hardly any professional contacts in Germany. To avoid being unemployed, I decided to go back to work as a nurse (temporarily) and to my own surprise, I loved it. A job that has had so much meaning for me over the last five years. At the same time, I wrote my new book. I put in a lot of effort and can say that I am at home in both professions and do a really good job. Since I am not yet allowed to work in the Netherlands without passing a language test, here is my question: Do any of you have an idea how and where I can work NOW? I speak German and English fluently and Spanish relatively well. I offer a few typically German qualities, such as responsibility, punctuality and reliability. I am also empathetic, competent and love what I do. I look forward to hearing from you and am grateful for every idea and tip.
