cheers! when it comes to office work, i enjoy facilities/reception stuff. i like talking to people but i resent sales, so it suits me fine. i didnt look for this line of work whilst out there though, only service jobs.ooh aaar traktor wrote: Good report pal! If you don't mind me asking...what field of work were you looking for? I'm considering something similar myself, I work in IT personally and work with many guys who have contracted over there.
Not adverse to pulling a pint or two but would rather utilise my trade skills!
ha ha ha, we will have to agree to disagree on the music front mate ha ha, no offense personally to you. im happy you like the video, i made it partly to satify my own geeky/obsessive nature, but partly also to spread the word on these places. i love em i do! cheers!Roll up wrote:great report CSS. I especially loved the video fo the coffeeshops. That went straight into bookmarks. Now all of us never-beens will know what we are supposed to be looking for!
you hurt my feelings on the Usher comments though! 50's old stuff is okay, new stuff terrible and I will not defend lil jon, but I find Usher to be the only real R&B singer with longevity!
hey, it was actually fairly easy to find bar work in Rembrandspplein, bars like the coco outback etc. have a huge turnover of staff, and take on legally registered backpackers/year abroaders. however the reason for high turnover is obvious, its an arse of a job. long long long hours. i didnt ask the wages, but the minimum wage in holland is suprisngly good.AmDamMan wrote:Hey, nice report. Just wondering what sort of pay and amount of hours you were offered for the bar work and how hard it was to get the job offer?
thank you man!willjay wrote:thanks
cheers mate, high rents, fuck yes, but really if you are willing to sacrifice, you can get a job.... we decided we would rather work easier here and visit the dam, than slave away just be there 24/7.kingdoc wrote:Great report! i hear ya about the lack of work + the high rents right now.
