 Yes, like I told you, I'm going to tell you something about the current labor market because we live in strange times right now with the corona, and it has an impact on the labor market. So I will give you some information about that, but mainly I will give you some practical tips and advice on what you can do during these times. But first, in short, some figures, what is the expected impact on the labor market of this corona crisis? Well, we expect an overall decrease in vacancies of about 20% to 30%. The severity of the recession depends on the duration of the contact restrictions. Luckily right now in the Netherlands, the restrictions are much less than before. So hopefully the impact of the recession will be limited, but in other countries it still continues. So we don't know yet what the total impact will be, and what is also, the impact is also different in the diverse industries. Some industries are really low in business, others are flourishing. So maybe the next slide team you can show, I will show you some differences in industries. Okay, well this is the impact per industry specifically, and it will be no secret that some industries have more difficulties than the other ones, like in culture and sports and recreation, like events, aviation. There is a very high shrinkage, whereas in the health and welfare services, public administration and postal and courier services, there is an expected growth. So there's a lot of difference within the industries, but this gives you a short impression of what industries are expected to shrink or already have shrunken, and what industries are expected to grow. If there are any questions about this, please ask in the chat, but this is what I would want to share with you about the impact per industry. And I will continue with some useful tips for you, because it will be no secret that this corona crisis will have an impact on the labor market. But I think there are still some things that you, it's not like depressive story I want to share with you, because I think there are still a lot of opportunities. As I showed you, there are some industries that are growing, and hopefully now that the crisis is slowing down, that the impact will be less and vacancies and internship opportunities will grow again. So my first message to you is stay positive, don't let corona scare you, keep going, because there are opportunities. And another thing you can do is create an attractive and professional profile. You have more time, I think right now, to really focus on that. So make a good CV and a LinkedIn profile and write a motivation letter, a standard motivation letter, which you can adjust when you apply for a vacancy. You can also prepare for online job interviews, because we see a shift that maybe for the future, this will continue, that more job interviews are done online instead of offline. So be prepared and just practice those. And another important tip I have for you, build your own online network. Maybe you've heard it in the breakout sessions, but right now because everything is online, building your network is crucial. I also put a link in the presentation. You will all receive this presentation afterwards with more tips. It's an article on LinkedIn with more tips what you can do during this corona time. So just check it in your free time. Just to go a little bit more deeper into the tips I just gave you, what can you actually do? And I will not read everything because you can look it up later, but I will point out some things. An attractive professional CV. How does an attractive professional CV look like when you want to apply for a job in the Netherlands? Well, first, don't make it too long. Preferably one page at a maximum of two pages. Another thing what is very important is to put a personal profile on your CV. That's a part on top of your CV because a recruiter mostly takes seven to nine seconds to look at a CV. And when you have a personal profile, which really stands out and they get interested and they want to learn more about you and they will look into your CV further. So make sure you have a personal profile on your CV in which you describe who you are, what your competencies are, what is your added value and what are you looking for. Another thing that's important makes cannibalists and use the dots. So don't make long stories on your CV because a recruiter won't read it. Just keep it short and use bullets. And make it anti-chronological. So start with your last education and your last work experience instead of the other way around. Then the other tip I gave you is make an attractive and professional LinkedIn profile. Like I said, everything is done online. So it's not easy to network offline at this moment. But it's possible to network online. And LinkedIn is a perfect medium to do so. So make sure you have a professional LinkedIn profile. And what does it look like? Well, the first one, of course, make sure you have a professional profile picture and a background picture. But what is very important, make sure you have a strong headline. When you're available for a job or an internship, put it in your headline and use the word available because recruiters look for the word available when they're looking for new employees. So make sure you have a strong headline in which you say who you are. So you're maybe like a student, but you're also available for a job as or an internship as. Also here, very important, like on your CV, make sure you have a profile, a personal profile. And it's called summary on your LinkedIn profile, where you write who you are and what you bring to a company and what you're looking for. Because that's also what recruiters, they scan your LinkedIn and that's what they read. And if it's interesting, they will read more of your profile. So make sure that's on there. Then, like I said, a professional motivation letter. You can make a basic motivation letter, but it's very important that you adjust it when you apply for a vacancy because you have to use the things they ask in the vacancy in your motivation letter. So make sure that the basis you make for the letter is adjusted to the vacancy you're applying to. And this is the actions of the lines you should put in your letter. First of all, start with an introduction in which you say where you find the vacancy and then give a motivation why you applied and what you like about the organization and the job you're applying for. Then make sure you tell them why you are the most suitable candidate for the job and make sure that you tell them what your unique selling points are. And very important, make a sentence close your letter with a sentence you call for a call of action where you say that you would like to motivate your application in person. So you could do that during these corona times. Tips for online job interviews. Like I told you, nowadays most job interviews are done online, the first job interview at least. So practice beforehand and make sure that your connection is good. So practice with someone familiar and make sure your light is good and your sound is good and the position of your camera is on eye level. And make sure that you look into the camera and hope I'm looking into the camera right now as well. Make sure you have a neutral background. Sorry, I don't have a neutral background at this moment. But for a job interview it's very important. Use professional clothing, use hand gestures to emphasize what you're saying. Sit up straight and smile and show your enthusiasm. And another thing that's important, prepare some questions in advance. So you can also ask the company some questions. And here are some examples. I won't go through them, but here are some examples you can expect. You can prepare for and you can expect in the job interview. And the first one is the most important one. So always prepare for that questions because they are going to ask you, tell me something about yourself and then you have to pitch yourself in like minute, two minutes. So that's one of the most important questions to prepare yourself for. And also make sure that you prepare some smart examples so you can use them to validate your story. Because otherwise when you say you're flexible that doesn't mean anything if you can't give an example that shows that you're flexible. One of the last slides built on your online network, very important in these days, make sure that you have a LinkedIn profile and that you connect with the right people. Also attend virtual career events, online coffee dates and in-house days. There are a lot of events you can attend due to network online. Join webinars and workshops in your field of interest and very important contact and talk to alumni and recruiters online. People in your target job, just connect with them on LinkedIn and ask them if they can help you or get you in contact with someone within the company who is hiring the people. So make sure that you're really active on LinkedIn and people like to help others so feel free to ask. And then some tips especially for you guys, your international students. Focus on international companies in the Netherlands. They are mainly located in Eindhoven, Amsterdam and Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht. It's called Randstad. Learn how to speak Dutch especially for informal talks with colleagues around the coffee. It really makes a difference if you learn the language. Build a network in the Netherlands for information, activities and alumni experience. And a good example is Holland Alumni Network. I also put the link in for you. I know the legislation around the search and orientation year for non-EU citizens because you have the possibility to have a year to stay in the Netherlands without working and looking for a job. So you have that opportunity. If you want to know more about that, you can find it on the site. I put it in, okay. Then I have the last slide. In the beginning of this event, we already told you about it. Maria, our alumna who is present today is organizing a year to start event on the 1st and 2nd of July where you can follow live webinars, Q&A and workshops. And it's dedicated to all international entrepreneurs ready to get their business started in the Netherlands. So if you are interested, I would say sign in for it. And if you have any more questions about career orientation or preparation or if you just want someone to brainstorm with, you can also always contact Student Career Services of Tilburg University and here I'll put how you can get in touch with us. So that was my story I would like to share with you. I don't know if I'm within time, but I hope I did it in 10 minutes. But thank you for your attention and I'm going to introduce the next speaker. I see she's already here. I will give the floor to Floor Nobles. She is a recruitment innovator and she will tell you more about her experience as a recruiter in the current labor market. So Floor, the floor is yours. Yeah, is this working? Yeah, very good. Okay, great, great. Hi, my name is Floor Nobles. I'm a recruitment professional innovator. I like to call myself to stand a little bit out of the crowd. I've been working and studying abroad too. So I lived for a couple of years in Denmark and I lived in China and I've been working remote for more than 10 years. So this whole crisis is for me. Well, yeah, it's a crisis, but it's still not new to work completely online. So I would like to share my experience of being a headhunter, working for great companies like EY, Microsoft or NextU and give you some tips. Joyce already mentioned some things in her presentation. So I will skip, well, these were my tips for your online interview to make that a success. Let's see what Joyce missed that I can add. Make sure you have your dog outside, your kid outside, your partner and don't wear a bikini unless it's 34 degrees. Oh, what really helps is put an eye catcher or a conversation starter in your background, like a surf board or a great plant or whatever. So you have something to talk about because you will miss to get the cup of coffee for a little small talk. I think the rest Joyce already mentioned. We asked you for some questions, what you would like to know. And one of it was what do I need to make my online interview a success? Well, my first tip is always be prepared but prepare yourself for these three questions. That is why you want to work for this company, why you want to land in this job and why they should hire you. And you can use these questions also for writing your motivational letter or adjusting your resume to make it fit for that job. So always keep these three questions in mind. Why this company, why this job, why you. I think Joyce also mentioned this but there are still booming industries. So I call it the COVID-19 proof industries like IT, education, healthcare, energy transition. These are industries that are not affected at all, I think. And now that we have the restrictions lifted, these industries are looking for people over and over again. Okay, and now I would like to go through a couple of questions that also popped up and maybe we have some time left for other questions. The question was what is the first step you can take as an international student to find a job in the Netherlands? Well, I would always start with your friends. Ask your friends. I don't know if you all are aware of Sinterklaas and it's like our Dutch version of Santa Claus. If you don't ask for a present, you don't get it. So if you don't just ask for the job you're looking for, hey, I'm open for a developer job. Hey, I'm looking for a marketing job. I'm looking for a whatever job. Ask your friends and ask the friends of your friends. So try to get referrals. Joyce also mentioned to build your online network. LinkedIn is the most important one, I would say. So also you can post what you're looking for on your LinkedIn and see who responds and also actively approach people who you think might be valuable to land in that job or that company. And there are a lot of expatriate groups, for example, on Facebook or Meetups. Look them up. So when you're Japanese, look for the Japanese in the Netherlands or the Asians in the Netherlands and just find your way via these people who already have a job and maybe know what kind of vacancies they have at their company. So that would be my most important tip. And also one other tip is don't make applying a full day job. Just do like three or five things a day. Do them good and then enjoy life. But don't scroll over and over again on your LinkedIn. You'll get depressed. Just make a good action plan and do like the five things a day to land in a job. Is someone moderating? If there are any questions, you can post them, I think, in the chat. Yeah, if there are questions, I will announce them. What's important in positioning yourself on the Dutch labor market? Yeah, I would say create a good resume like Joyce did and create that LinkedIn profile and make sure you make it very tangible, very concrete and limit yourself to two pages and to a very, if you do like the online LinkedIn profile, make sure to have like a catchy headline, a good picture, make you stand out of the crowd. This question came up quite a few times. Do I need to learn Dutch? Well, I only have one answer to that. I would say yes, yes, you're in a Netherlands. So I know it will take some time and not all will become mere native speakers, but it will always help you to land a job. And every international company I work for is looking for people who show that they have learning abilities and also dive into a language. So I would always recommend you to learn Dutch. So you can maybe order a beer in Dutch or have a little small talk. But it really is important to show that you want to stay here for a longer time. So my question is yes. And I see a lot of people who speak just a little Dutch and in their professional environment, they speak English. But yeah, you have to start somewhere. If I meet people that have been working for 15 years in the Netherlands and they don't know any word of Dutch, I think that is a disqualifier. So we'll keep that in mind or maybe I'm too strict. My last tip or what as I had earlier, what can I share with you that is really important? I would say that you really have to get to know yourself. What are your strengths? What are your skills? And look for a job that fits that, that makes your heart tick. I see a lot of people just starting jobs and then they realize maybe this is it. Of course, you are allowed to make a fold or sometimes a job is not what's expected. But it's really good to know yourself and to know in what environment and what kind of job you will be successful. It's good for your self-esteem. It makes you happy. You get things done. So know yourself before applying and don't apply on everything. But try to pick what really matches you. This is a market where you have a lot of competition. So if there are people that match the criteria better than the company will often choose that one. So make sure you and the job match and the other way around. The job matches you. Well, these were the most asked questions. Maybe you have another question for me if we have time left. Any questions? I don't think there are specific questions floor. I think there are a lot of remarks in the chat but it's more tips that people give each other where to learn Dutch. So that's all. But I don't think there are specific questions for you or for me. So one last one is coming in. Yeah. How close should my profile be to the job description? Yeah. I think you should make like to be honest. So yeah, be honest. I think as a starter it's really important to show that you are a quick learner. So you can also say I have limited, for example, marketing experience. But I always do the marketing for my father who has his own grocery shop or whatever. So be honest. Tell them where you are able to learn. And yeah, look for the skills that match that job requirement. For example, marketing. If you started communication, then communication and marketing are quite close to each other. So you can say, hey, I'm really good in writing or writing or creating catchy headlines. So I think I can do this marketing job. Yeah. But be the real you. I think that's important. Shelly, I was thinking whether Joyce will pick up the next question but I will do it. So there's another question a few times. It has been mentioned to have a banner on your LinkedIn. How crucial is it? And as a student, what would you recommend it to be? Yeah, I do like it when people put a little attention to their personal branding, I would say. Like for your resume, your link profile, try to look for a good picture. You don't have to be Mrs. Universe or Miss Universe, but just show the best version of yourself. And I think the header is fun to emphasize a little bit of yourself for. If you have a look at my own LinkedIn profile, I used to live in China and I took a picture in the subway and I just thought it was really fun pictured all these people around me. Now in COVID times, it's a bit, how do you say it? This is an image from the past, I would say. But it's to show my background. So yes, it's nice to choose something that matches your style. Yeah, make it personal, I think. Make it personal, yeah. I also saw one data analyst. I know he, data is power. He just had a quote like that. I like that, yeah. Great, we have another question coming in. Malika is saying, I like local networking community to look for jobs. As Canadian, I am used to a more formal approach of applying through career portals. How important isn't for me right now to develop connections or do I have a chance of landing a job formally? I think connections are always important. So focus on both. Maybe you don't have enough connections. So then the official route via career pages is the most logical, but at the other hand, I know that a lot of people get their job via via. So I would always work on both. And you can also, for example, you see a job at Next, you were the company I work for right now. You can check their website and then you can switch to LinkedIn and see who is working there, what kind of people are dead. And maybe you can just connect with someone and say, hey, I see you work as a developer. Can you tell me a little bit about your job, about your company? I want to apply. Most people really are very helpful to help there. And to add something, I think when you want to work in the Netherlands, then it's crucial that you start also the networking online through LinkedIn. Because like 70% of all jobs are found by networking in the Netherlands. So that's a difference maybe a different than in Canada, Canada, I mean. So I really recommend that you start networking online. Maybe we finish with the last question from Gabriela concerning the time. I think we have to run it up sometime. So the last question for you, Flor, as a recruiter, do you think experience in another country is valuable here? So I have more than seven years of working experience in Brazil. Or as an expert, do I need to apply for a startup position? No, I do like it when people have experience abroad. It always, it tells me a lot about the person. So it doesn't only tell me that you maybe know some Portuguese. You maybe know some of the culture of Brazil. But you are also capable of staying alive in a foreign country. A lot of people just don't take that step. So you are an adventurous person and you really succeeded in establishing a life there if you stayed there for seven years. So respect to that. So it always helps to show that you've done things like that. Even world travel trips or volunteer work at a key boot. It's always good to mention because, again, you deal with people. And maybe I lived in Brazil or my best friend is Brazilian and I've been to that country three times. And if you mention that on your resume, then we have like a first connection. And again, that can be an icebreaker. So it's always worth to mention even if it doesn't relate to the job you're applying for. And if you're applying for a job where, for example, they need like really a self-starter, you can use your living abroad as an example. Look how I just moved 5,000 kilometers from home and build a new life and graduated. So yeah, if you have it flaunted, I would say. Okay. Well, thank you very much, Flor, for your participation in this event. Thank you. Welcome. I'm going to the finish of this event. So I have some last words I would like to share with you.
