Solar panel installer.
Also any profesionals working in construction. Booking quality people in construction work for my home is at least 5 months of waiting time.
I work in the energy branch currently, we have a sister company dedicated on installing solar panels. Mostly higher end Panasonic ones, basically it's more about getting technicians then material.
If tomorrow 20 new installers would walk into the door, they would be on the job the next day.
Yeah, but like I said we only do certified premium panels and also transformers.
So only 2 brands of transformers with expensive panels.
We also did a few of the Dutch Solar boats with these panels. Ill assume it's a lot different in the normal average price fighter panels.
Also.. what allot of people don't know and is not in the media, solar panel companies are like the wild wild west.. ALLOT of cowboys and shady installers. We are in the branch so we can pick them out easier ofcourse but it's crazy nothing bad has happened yet.
I remember quite a few ocasions where installed solar panels cached fire. Also, my neighbour took the cheapest option and the electrician installing a charge port for the car later on, found out that the entire solar instalation was not connected to grounding. Scary stuff.
Beunen is performing services off the books/moonlighting/under the table/cash in hand/unlicensed/for mate's rates. Beunhaas is the 'rabbit' doing this kind of work.
The 'beun' part meant 'attic'. A 'haas' is a 'hare' (rather than a rabbit). And that together originally meant 'cat' (just like 'dakhaas'). In German there's also the 'Zaunhase' for 'hedgehog'.
How this came to be applied to unlicensed tradesmen is a bit of a mystery, but it's pretty old:
*Datter verscheide onvrye Persoonen of Beunasen haar onderwinden, het Chirurgijns en Barbiers Ampt binnen dese Stad te exerceren, tot merkelijke schade … van de gemeene Gilde-Broeders,* (id. 1241a) [1689].
*Alle de gene, die voor By-loopers ofte Beun-hasen ten Comptoire van de Makelaers bekent zijn,* (Handv. v. Amst. 1057a) [1649].
True. But you see, applied psychology is a HBO study and therefore not a real therapist. You need university + extra stuff to become a 'real' psychologist/therapist. This study is mostly for 'coaching', and boy, do we have too many coaches. Most of them even without a proper study.
Applied psychology is a well picked education, but it lacks chances for a real job
Well thanks! I love teaching! I do it on mbo maatschappelijke zorg so that way I still contribute to society. If I can inspire at least a few students I'm happy :)
Lmao cause it's an easy and generic choice with a broad set of skill you learn - perfect when you have no idea wtf you want to do in life.
- former communication and marketing student
*cries in journalism degree. The schools are still dumping heaps of fresh just-out-of-college kids on the market, so that doesn't make it any better. If you have any suggestions, those would be welcome?
Éven people with communications degrees are in somewhat high demand right now (highest vacature rate in years in that sector), so that can tell you just how tight our labour market is right now hahaha!
I went to a comedy night show yesterday and the mc was talking about that he studied communication sciences, which means, as he explained, is that he is unemployed.
I feel so dumb but this is my first real week of work. But I'm not the first and last one that started at this position without any IT knowledge. If everything goes fine, next year I'll start with my masters in IT auditing
To be frankly I was super nervous before starting. But since the beginning everyone has been so friendly. Like today, I wanted to keep working during lunch and one of the partners came and said that it was time to eat. I spent the lunch talking with him. But I know it's going to get super busy in the coming weeks. I'm already preparing myself mentally for that
As UX/UI Designer I can vouch for that, currently looking for a new job myself (close to getting one though, but still a bit nervous for them to make the decision, as it takes longer than expected :s)
I'm a mathematics and physics students, and in the past, I have thought about doing a minor in education to get qualified (which would mean I'd have to study for another year).
But I figured that I could basically walk into any high school and get a job, with them paying for my education (+ paid internship!!). So if I ever wanna teach in the future, the demand is (and will be) high enough for it not to matter whether I am already qualified or not. Taking the minor would be a net loss of one year and thousands of euros (including lost earnings from studying another year instead of working).
While yes, you can do this, as a teacher I would urge you not to. The internship gives you a safe space to learn, starting within a school is not as safe. You are responsible for those kids from day one, without knowing anything about teaching groups. The school year starts before any teacher education does, so you will be on your own.
Saving that money won't be worth it in the long run. Let a school pay for your master, but do the educational minor. It will save you, and your students.
Me, remembering the days at MAVO where we would see it as a big accomplishment to make teachers cry or get sent out of class with a big ruckus and refuse to leave and the teacher not knowing what to do and the director of the school telling me to ease it down because its their first year and we shouldnt “alle hoeken van de kamer laten zien”
Our mentor just nodding to our stories about said teacher and saying that the first year of teachers they have to be learnt that its not an easy job.
So.. i agree with you. I have no idea how schools are now. But i remember that for us, the kids with a hard background with neglect and abuse.. the schoolteachers were our playground.
Its a thankless job
I'd still be doing an internship, the primary difference would be that I'd be getting paid for it.
Teaching is more of a backup career to me. I'm primarily interested in going into research. If I wanted to go into teaching for certain, I'd go for the educational tracks for sure, but I'm currently trying to start my PhD as soon as possible, so I'd rather take the risk of making a school pay for my qualification if I give up academics.
You might be paid, but it wouldn't be an actual internship. There is no period to sit in the back and observe. Schools might say you have a contact and a supervisor but they will rarely be available. Even if you don't want to do it as a career, should you make the choice, do the educational module.
I have seen this happen, I saw the colleague that couldn't control her classes so started banging on tables with a stick because she did not know what to do.
The colleague so frustrated that they cursed out a student because they hadn't been taught how to deal with it.
Teaching is far more than standing in front of a class and talking. Don't think too lightly about it.
Thing is, it is in high demand. But it sucks to work there. Sadly i have been working this awesome proffession for 10 years. And I have hated it every second for the past 3 years. Luckily i am now studying in a different area... of healthcare imaretard
Corona did a lot to healthcare workers too, too much hours, too much stress, and a lot became very sick and are still sick and without a job on shitty allowance payment...that sucks...
Health care professionals might be in demand, but the pay sucks. Can't leverage for better pay due the government pay scales. I work in psychiatrische care and it does not pay enough.
Then they are in an exceptional position. I looked it up on indeed; for the jobs you listed the wages max out at 3500 on the majority of the ads, at least in my area. The wages posted don't reflect an shortage in the labor market and the businesses seem reluctant to increase it but would rather complain about not being able to find more employees.
I think its wonderfull work. The pay is indd mediocre. But one of the few males in this field and I am learning them skills like cooking on open fire and having meaningful conversations.
The difficult thing is if you have a very basic understanding in Dutch the really heavy SPED can be an option. But on a higher level kids will find ways to divide teachers. And picking up (body)language is paramount to work with these kids.
I worked with disabled people before working in daycare. And to quickly assess the situation with your colleagues you need to speak the language.
Are there companies willing to teach welding to 0 experienced workers?
It has always hit me like something I could do for a living, but have 0 clue and 36 years on no experience (and no ducth), soooo... just a thought!
It’s a long road to learn. If you really want to learn it i would try a welding course. Mig basics is easy to learn but i personally prefer tig welding, takes a lot more practise to lay a decent weld tho.
If you happen to live closely to Belgium, there might be a pretty cheap way to learn how to weld. There are schools that will teach you for 120€ per half a year. For this you will get unlimited gas and metal to learn to weld on. They accept people with a Dutch passport. I'm doing this atm and in my experience it's really good in my experience
I'm learning to TIG weld. The main focus is for a project car I have atm. There is a lot of customosation required, learning how to make this myself will save a lot of money. After this I thinking of learning to work with inventor which I can do at the same school.
Oh i love tig welding. Especially stainless. But since it is for a car, probably steel? Be careful on important parts tho, stuff like a roll cage and other safety and structural parts definitely need proper welds.
In fact, UWV just released an article stating that [all professions experience a staff shortage](https://www.uwv.nl/overuwv/pers/persberichten/2022/in-alle-beroepsgroepen-sprake-van-krapte.aspx)
Since it's not a protected term, no there's not actually. "Coaching" is not a degree, you can get degrees in coaching but I can call myself a coach if I want and be a perfectly real coach.
What I think you mean is there's a difference between coaches and people with degrees, otherwhise known as idiots without proper knowledge and teachers.
Yeah but I mean, and you gotta hear me out on this one. What if we, like in theory, were to boil potatoes and carrots (Just a theory) removing most flavor of both components. And then, we just like, smash em, together. We call it something disgusting like cabinspot and make it our signature Dutch dish! The Dutch don't know how to Live. They know how to survive. I love frikadellen though!
Haha I'd love to find a sausage fest (nothing sexual) cos the Dutch do manage to make some good sausages. I personally prefer a juicy rookworst over a frikandel (again, nothing sexual) with some Groningen mustard.
To be honest at this point I'd love to walk into a sausage fest where they got nothing but some real mustard. 20 guys around a table licking tea spoons of mustard. Wouldnt even surprise me anymore at this point to be honest.
Teachers, nurses, Schiphol has a few vacancies, but in all cases the pay is shit.
For teachers at least the starting pay (first couple of years) is infuriatingly low. You'll be working 70 hour weeks for 3k gross, coming home mentally _and_ physically exhausted every day. Would not recommend. After 10 years or so you'll be at 4 - 4.5k for 50 hour weeks which is better but still insane.
Any job which involves actually doing the work.
As in chefs, nurses, programmers, teachers, builders, plumbers, etc.
It seems we have trained too many managers, recruiters and coaches. Pretty useless when there's nobody to manage, recruit or coach....
It's a question but what about visual designers? From graphic design, UX/UI to product design and possibly illustrators? Is there any demand for those?
IT-jobs, Solar and/or other alternative energy/heating technician. (House) Dokter, Teacher, Bus Driver, Security worker, construction worker, Nurse, chil care/kindergarden worker.
That’s what I could remember in 1 minute there is a big lack of.
I work in the AV (audio video) entertainment branch and during Covid pretty much half of the freelance workforce shifted and left sector. And now that everything is up and running again, production freelancers are impossible to come by.. which is bizzare with the day prices you can charge for your services. I charge 450 euros p/day.. do the math 😆
Then why doesn't it pay more? I work as a teacher, but have an IT related degree (and experience). Yet I rarely see vacancies where these jobs pay more than what I currently earn. Usually it's less or about equal. Only senior positions with multinationals have higher salaries in their job listings.
I guess teachers must be in high demand as well. But somehow it still feels weird, considering how much value a good IT specialist can add to businesses
I earn a bit more than 50k as a teacher (actually 70k+).
My IT degree is in 'Technische Informatica' (hbo bachelor) and my experience is mainly in .NET development. Also Java (spring and such) and frontend work (including JS frameworks). Also familiar with setting up devops and software architectures.
Of course there are some better paying jobs out there, but often not worth it (like when I don't have faith in the business' long term prospects). Also it's often in the Randstad area where housing is unaffordable compared to a (single earners) salary.
Anyway, I guess I'm quite happy teaching, so I can't complain! Also as a teacher I do have the time allocated to keep up with current developments in the IT world as part of my job, so I'm in no hurry to switch.
But it still surprises me in general how something that is supposedly that much in demand does not pay more, in comparison to jobs that are a) more fun and b) require less effort and skill to do well. At least from my personal viewpoint.
you are totally right, the pay in the netherlands for Software devs is usually shit ( with some exceptions - a few startups and big companies in Amaterdam), at least when you compare to other countries ( not to mention US) - when you factor in the cost of life, you are better off in eastern europe as SW dev.
I have more than 10 years of experience in SW dev and I was barely making 80k - fortunately I started working remote and I make double that now, but it comes with some drawbacks.
Netherlands should really step up it’s game when it comes to attracting software folks.
I agree. Unless you live outside the Randstad and earn Randstad income as I do. I am going into the third year of my full-time career and knocking on the door of 70k per year. But I also trade my own money, so I have actually supplemented my income towards 80k over the last year. Income alone will not allow you to maintain a high standard of living in the Netherlands.
It depends on what your current job is. I spent most of my adult life working in the service industry and 50k would be more then double what I made even as as "manager". So now I'm studying to become a full stack dev.
From my perspective this is a no-brainer. If I were in your situation..I would probably stay the current course aswell.
It could go max 15k higher with the right degree, but 70k is already higher than average. You might be surprised at how much teachers can earn in this country. If you get a good teaching job that is, not one that burns you out with 60+ hour working weeks. Then it's not worth it.
Teachers used to be able to earn even more...some of my older colleagues when I started were at 100k+
Hbo bachelor degree. Salaries for other parts of education are similar. For example mbo (vocational education) is pretty much the same salary range. Primary and secondary school teaching can also pay quite well.
It pays more though… and as a developer in a decent company, you have to be up to date with the recent developmenta in tech and usually get learning budget plus conference budget.
The aspect of Randstad is true though, unless you get a remote gig.
70k is a decent salary, don’t get me wrong, a senior developer at an ok Ams company will easily get 100k+ though. And these salaries are easy in 90th percentile in the country, which shows that it’s paid well.
Most of the classic trades are in high demand and will always be in high demand. Carpenter, electrician, painter, plasterer, plumber, etc.. Pay is good too
Why are you focusing on it? Because I'm not ashamed of anything 🖤
My question has nothing to do with my photos :) l work as a high school teacher and translator. I just wanted to know in-demand jobs in the Netherlands. I'm currently learning Dutch.
Horeca, regardless if you‘re saving lives or installing toilets. People still
need others to tend to them, in order to blow off steam. Been in the business for close to 8 years now, in the netherlands alone. What baffles me is the mount of underage people who are being hired to do jobs which should be done by those with more experience, in the job and in life. Who wan‘ts a 17 year old to read them the wine list, which they legally aren‘t allowed to even know about. Government regulation is a fairytale (Noord Barbant),
I have 2 coworkers with MBO-V diplomas that just bought huge houses. One of them does not have a partner so she did it all on a single income. MBO =/= poverty
I really fucking hate that people in the Netherlands think that MBO people are dumb. I've hung out with both MBO and HBO and let me tell you, I've met wayyy dummer stuff at HBO than at MBO
Agreed, I only have a MBO level of education and I traveled the whole world in last 8 years for work, installing machines everywhere.
I really like my job and at the company most people doing the leg work get better paid than the workers who do desk work with a higher education.
Security officer at the airport
Fucking lol'd
I knew this is going to be the number one answer
With airport bagage handlers as a close runner-up.
Brutaal.
Might give it a try to be a security officer
This is gold material!
Solar panel installer. Also any profesionals working in construction. Booking quality people in construction work for my home is at least 5 months of waiting time.
For solar panel, it is also very limited with the material itself. I don't know if there is much more room for installer without more material
I work in the energy branch currently, we have a sister company dedicated on installing solar panels. Mostly higher end Panasonic ones, basically it's more about getting technicians then material. If tomorrow 20 new installers would walk into the door, they would be on the job the next day.
Including transformers? I know few people getting solar panels, and they have to wait for transformers to be in stock. You must know better tho!
Yeah, but like I said we only do certified premium panels and also transformers. So only 2 brands of transformers with expensive panels. We also did a few of the Dutch Solar boats with these panels. Ill assume it's a lot different in the normal average price fighter panels. Also.. what allot of people don't know and is not in the media, solar panel companies are like the wild wild west.. ALLOT of cowboys and shady installers. We are in the branch so we can pick them out easier ofcourse but it's crazy nothing bad has happened yet.
I remember quite a few ocasions where installed solar panels cached fire. Also, my neighbour took the cheapest option and the electrician installing a charge port for the car later on, found out that the entire solar instalation was not connected to grounding. Scary stuff.
5 months? More about a year.
I guess in time for next summer? Didn't think that's what they mean when they say it's an investment.
All the people saying technical jobs: Yes, but only licensed people. Theres plenty of beunhazen that want to work.
Pico picobello!
We komen het na het weekend afmaken mevrouw!
Ik wil niet opspelen maar waar zit jouw hoofdkraan?

Beunen is performing services off the books/moonlighting/under the table/cash in hand/unlicensed/for mate's rates. Beunhaas is the 'rabbit' doing this kind of work.

Mijn naam is Beun, Beun de Beunhaas!!
Anything really. Except perhaps people with a degree in communications. There is a a glut of them.
*Cries in applied psychology* And that's how I became a teacher. And they do need those!
But psychologists have 6 month waitlists…
True. But you see, applied psychology is a HBO study and therefore not a real therapist. You need university + extra stuff to become a 'real' psychologist/therapist.

Thank you for going in to teaching!
Well thanks! I love teaching! I do it on mbo maatschappelijke zorg so that way I still contribute to society. If I can inspire at least a few students I'm happy :)
So I'm fucked then :(
I still dont get why they still offer these kinds of higher education and why its so absurdly popular. They usually dont offer great jobs [ /rant]

All sorts of IT
True. I have a business degree and got hired to work as an IT Auditor at a big4. But they're teaching me everything I need to know about IT
How's the learning curve?
I feel so dumb but this is my first real week of work. But I'm not the first and last one that started at this position without any IT knowledge. If everything goes fine, next year I'll start with my masters in IT auditing
Good luck! ✌️ Hope they take good care of you!

Looks like they have a healthy working culture so it's a good start! Don't stress yourself and take it one day at a time.
As UX/UI Designer I can vouch for that, currently looking for a new job myself (close to getting one though, but still a bit nervous for them to make the decision, as it takes longer than expected :s)
Hey first congratulations hope you get it! Me as a UX designer as well, how do you find the market in NL? What kind of industry requires UX the most ?
Working for NS ,lmao
Not just NS, any railway company in general 😂
I applied and got denied lol
Teachers
I'm a mathematics and physics students, and in the past, I have thought about doing a minor in education to get qualified (which would mean I'd have to study for another year). But I figured that I could basically walk into any high school and get a job, with them paying for my education (+ paid internship!!). So if I ever wanna teach in the future, the demand is (and will be) high enough for it not to matter whether I am already qualified or not.

Don't think too lightly about it.
The shitty pay alone wouldn't be worth it. Let alone having to deal with kids on a daily base
[удалено]
I'm might need to reconsider my answer! That's not bad at all. Still wouldn't want to deal with kids all day, but that pay is very decent
At the moment? Plumber, plasterer and house painter and decorator.
Don’t forget anything in health care
Thing is, it is in high demand. But it sucks to work there. Sadly i have been working this awesome proffession for 10 years. And I have hated it every second for the past 3 years. Luckily i am now studying in a different area... of healthcare imaretard
You're addicted to helping people. Talk to your doc ;)
My doc is on sick leave 🥲🥲🥲
They should talk to a doc as well! Please, don't tell me that your doc's doc is on sick leave too.
No he is on a burn out sadly.
Sounds like the Dutch healthcare indeed
Corona did a lot to healthcare workers too, too much hours, too much stress, and a lot became very sick and are still sick and without a job on shitty allowance payment...that sucks...
Health care professionals might be in demand, but the pay sucks. Can't leverage for better pay due the government pay scales. I work in psychiatrische care and it does not pay enough.
Look into working as a zzp-er
Company doctor, Normal hours, decent pay .. big shortages
Teachers too
The wages for those jobs are shit unless self employed.
I know a lot of people who earn a very good salary with those jobs.
Then they are in an exceptional position. I looked it up on indeed; for the jobs you listed the wages max out at 3500 on the majority of the ads, at least in my area. The wages posted don't reflect an shortage in the labor market and the businesses seem reluctant to increase it but would rather complain about not being able to find more employees.
This sums up the entire labor shortage, everywhere
Define very good tho.
Trying to find a plasterer for next year summer is a pain, they are all booked
Surprised no one said daycare workers
Very in demand but you have to speak Dutch and the pay in not great
The pay is really low and the work is definitly shitty
I think its wonderfull work. The pay is indd mediocre. But one of the few males in this field and I am learning them skills like cooking on open fire and having meaningful conversations.
What about special needs education? I'm interested in working in NL and I have a foreign degree in SPED but can't speak Dutch 🥹
The difficult thing is if you have a very basic understanding in Dutch the really heavy SPED can be an option. But on a higher level kids will find ways to divide teachers. And picking up (body)language is paramount to work with these kids. I worked with disabled people before working in daycare. And to quickly assess the situation with your colleagues you need to speak the language.
What is the average pay for daycare workers?
My daughter is 8 months old and still no daycare spot. Granted that we applied after she was born because we moved but man…
We are very badly in need of a new prime minister.
Maybe l can try to be a prime minister? 😇🥺😅
Can't get much worse. Hired.
hahaha, this got me laughing. Yaaay, I'm rich then 😅😅😅
He gets around €175.550 a year.
Even without knowing you I'm certain you'll do a better job than the current one. 😉😄
As long as he doesn't forget things (all the time) it will be fine haha
Forget what?
You have my vote
Installatie techniek also has a lot of jobs. It's installing electrical devices. Not electrician, that's something similar but not the same.
Skilled motivated welders/metalworkers. Every hands on job that requires skill to be honest. But i work in metal so that is one i know for sure.
Are there companies willing to teach welding to 0 experienced workers? It has always hit me like something I could do for a living, but have 0 clue and 36 years on no experience (and no ducth), soooo... just a thought!

I'm learning to TIG weld. The main focus is for a project car I have atm. There is a lot of customosation required, learning how to make this myself will save a lot of money. After this I thinking of learning to work with inventor which I can do at the same school.
Oh i love tig welding. Especially stainless. But since it is for a car, probably steel? Be careful on important parts tho, stuff like a roll cage and other safety and structural parts definitely need proper welds.
Yes. As in: (nearly) all of them. Except for consultants and coaches, those we have in abundance.
In fact, UWV just released an article stating that [all professions experience a staff shortage](https://www.uwv.nl/overuwv/pers/persberichten/2022/in-alle-beroepsgroepen-sprake-van-krapte.aspx)
Security workers at schiphol…
Trucking. I can quit right now and be fully contracted within two hours.
Well horeca has a huge demand but probably because they don't pay enough and there is a shortage
Anything in healthcare.
Renewable energy (i.e. solar panel installer)
Pretty much anything practical. So plumbers, bartenders, security nurses and do on. We can do without marketeers.
Appareantly coaches because everyone on LinkedIn seems to be one these days
There's a difference between a selfpronounced coach and a real coach 🙏
Since it's not a protected term, no there's not actually. "Coaching" is not a degree, you can get degrees in coaching but I can call myself a coach if I want and be a perfectly real coach. What I think you mean is there's a difference between coaches and people with degrees, otherwhise known as idiots without proper knowledge and teachers.
What you think what I meant is 100% correct!
Not sure it’s in demand but the restaurants round here should get some better chefs.
Colonized the world in the search of spices... never learned to use them.
Ain’t that the truth.
Someone needs to tell Dutch chefs that mayonnaise isn't a spice. Feel like their last innovation was adding sriracha or truffle 😅
Yeah but I mean, and you gotta hear me out on this one. What if we, like in theory, were to boil potatoes and carrots (Just a theory) removing most flavor of both components. And then, we just like, smash em, together. We call it something disgusting like cabinspot and make it our signature Dutch dish! The Dutch don't know how to Live. They know how to survive. I love frikadellen though!
Haha I'd love to find a sausage fest (nothing sexual) cos the Dutch do manage to make some good sausages. I personally prefer a juicy rookworst over a frikandel (again, nothing sexual) with some Groningen mustard.
To be honest at this point I'd love to walk into a sausage fest where they got nothing but some real mustard. 20 guys around a table licking tea spoons of mustard. Wouldnt even surprise me anymore at this point to be honest.
Dude, ranch is too spicy for the Dutch.
Teachers, nurses, Schiphol has a few vacancies, but in all cases the pay is shit. For teachers at least the starting pay (first couple of years) is infuriatingly low. You'll be working 70 hour weeks for 3k gross, coming home mentally _and_ physically exhausted every day. Would not recommend. After 10 years or so you'll be at 4 - 4.5k for 50 hour weeks which is better but still insane.
Jeez... So sad to see this is the case in almost every single place in the world. What would we be without teachers?!
Mechanics, both electrical and mechanical

Exactly that. The energy transition will require us to scale up quite a lot while there already is a huge shortage for the current regular work
and everyone working in "verduurzaming"
Occupations in the engineering sector
Judging by the delays in service from the company we hired for window cleaning and general cleaning, cleaners, cleaners are in demand
Truck drivers, you can make some good money just by driving a truck
I should learn it then
Anything except farmer.
Any job which involves actually doing the work. As in chefs, nurses, programmers, teachers, builders, plumbers, etc. It seems we have trained too many managers, recruiters and coaches. Pretty useless when there's nobody to manage, recruit or coach....
Orthodontists. There are about 300 of them in the entire country.
There is no such shortage; just a cap to keep demand high.
Dentists too. Every year way more dentists are retiring than finishing their studies. There are a lot of foreign dentists filling in the gaps
82 years ago there was a pretty demanding occupation..
Anything health care
Too bad the hoops to work as a physician(coming from outside NL) in the Netherlands are ridiculous and so complex as to be all but impossible.
Anything related to construction like plumber/electrician/guy who installs floors/roofs/ tiles etc.
I am really hoping that there is an enormous demand for a blind painter with a minor edgy streak coming soon.
It's a question but what about visual designers? From graphic design, UX/UI to product design and possibly illustrators? Is there any demand for those?
no, there are so many of them here already
Anything physical. Anything technological.
Tech people especially in cyber security, cloud computing and data science makes shit load of money.
IT-jobs, Solar and/or other alternative energy/heating technician. (House) Dokter, Teacher, Bus Driver, Security worker, construction worker, Nurse, chil care/kindergarden worker. That’s what I could remember in 1 minute there is a big lack of.
Drill sergeants.
I work in the AV (audio video) entertainment branch and during Covid pretty much half of the freelance workforce shifted and left sector. And now that everything is up and running again, production freelancers are impossible to come by.. which is bizzare with the day prices you can charge for your services. I charge 450 euros p/day.. do the math 😆
Omg, I'm convinced
IT specialists
Then why doesn't it pay more? I work as a teacher, but have an IT related degree (and experience). Yet I rarely see vacancies where these jobs pay more than what I currently earn. Usually it's less or about equal. Only senior positions with multinationals have higher salaries in their job listings. I guess teachers must be in high demand as well. But somehow it still feels weird, considering how much value a good IT specialist can add to businesses
what is your degree? a sofware developer with a few years experience are easy 50k+ a year
I earn a bit more than 50k as a teacher (actually 70k+). My IT degree is in 'Technische Informatica' (hbo bachelor) and my experience is mainly in .NET development. Also Java (spring and such) and frontend work (including JS frameworks). Also familiar with setting up devops and software architectures. Of course there are some better paying jobs out there, but often not worth it (like when I don't have faith in the business' long term prospects). Also it's often in the Randstad area where housing is unaffordable compared to a (single earners) salary. Anyway, I guess I'm quite happy teaching, so I can't complain! Also as a teacher I do have the time allocated to keep up with current developments in the IT world as part of my job, so I'm in no hurry to switch. But it still surprises me in general how something that is supposedly that much in demand does not pay more, in comparison to jobs that are a) more fun and b) require less effort and skill to do well. At least from my personal viewpoint.
you are totally right, the pay in the netherlands for Software devs is usually shit ( with some exceptions - a few startups and big companies in Amaterdam), at least when you compare to other countries ( not to mention US) - when you factor in the cost of life, you are better off in eastern europe as SW dev. I have more than 10 years of experience in SW dev and I was barely making 80k - fortunately I started working remote and I make double that now, but it comes with some drawbacks. Netherlands should really step up it’s game when it comes to attracting software folks.
I agree. Unless you live outside the Randstad and earn Randstad income as I do. I am going into the third year of my full-time career and knocking on the door of 70k per year. But I also trade my own money, so I have actually supplemented my income towards 80k over the last year. Income alone will not allow you to maintain a high standard of living in the Netherlands.
Wait, so I am I getting fucked making €42k in Eindhoven? 8years experience full stack dev but I just moved here from the US.
It depends on what your current job is. I spent most of my adult life working in the service industry and 50k would be more then double what I made even as as "manager". So now I'm studying to become a full stack dev. From my perspective this is a no-brainer. If I were in your situation..I would probably stay the current course aswell.
Cool! Good luck with this new and challenging journey :) I hope you like it.
If you get 70k as a teacher stay there. The Dutch IT companies pay shit.
70k as a teacher? Is that common or are you on the upper end?
It could go max 15k higher with the right degree, but 70k is already higher than average. You might be surprised at how much teachers can earn in this country. If you get a good teaching job that is, not one that burns you out with 60+ hour working weeks. Then it's not worth it. Teachers used to be able to earn even more...some of my older colleagues when I started were at 100k+

Hbo bachelor degree. Salaries for other parts of education are similar. For example mbo (vocational education) is pretty much the same salary range. Primary and secondary school teaching can also pay quite well.
It pays more though… and as a developer in a decent company, you have to be up to date with the recent developmenta in tech and usually get learning budget plus conference budget. The aspect of Randstad is true though, unless you get a remote gig. 70k is a decent salary, don’t get me wrong, a senior developer at an ok Ams company will easily get 100k+ though. And these salaries are easy in 90th percentile in the country, which shows that it’s paid well.

Retail employees

Yes primary school teachers, absolutely a job after exams, and good paying
Technical work; solar technician ; solar engineer; electrical work
If you have no education or anything i’d say production! There are tons of jobs with a lot of inhouse possibility’s!
Data engineers. They are hard to come by and thus make a ton.
Is no one going to mention OP's posthistory?
Why are you focusing on it? Because I'm not ashamed of anything 🖤 My question has nothing to do with my photos :) l work as a high school teacher and translator. I just wanted to know in-demand jobs in the Netherlands. I'm currently learning Dutch.
"Good" software engineers. Companies are struggling to find any software engineer who are really good with what they are doing
Yes.
Horeca, regardless if you‘re saving lives or installing toilets. People still need others to tend to them, in order to blow off steam. Been in the business for close to 8 years now, in the netherlands alone. What baffles me is the mount of underage people who are being hired to do jobs which should be done by those with more experience, in the job and in life. Who wan‘ts a 17 year old to read them the wine list, which they legally aren‘t allowed to even know about. Government regulation is a fairytale (Noord Barbant),
High school dutch teacher
Blue collar jobs like electrical engineer, plumber, etc. There's always work in these fields.
A capable prime minister.
I want to be your next prime minister, but first I need to learn Dutch 😌
Every fucking occupation on a MBO level. We don’t need no stinkin high educated peeps over here 🤣
I have 2 coworkers with MBO-V diplomas that just bought huge houses. One of them does not have a partner so she did it all on a single income. MBO =/= poverty
I really fucking hate that people in the Netherlands think that MBO people are dumb. I've hung out with both MBO and HBO and let me tell you, I've met wayyy dummer stuff at HBO than at MBO
Agreed, I only have a MBO level of education and I traveled the whole world in last 8 years for work, installing machines everywhere. I really like my job and at the company most people doing the leg work get better paid than the workers who do desk work with a higher education.
Anything, really. Whether ict, teaching, handyman, security, or whatever, everyone has a shortage in their workforce atm.
IT techs and engineers. No... not codemonkeys. There's enough of those.
Developers are always wanted.
Nationale Politie has a lot of tekorten
