Spreekt u het Nederlands? Probably not a necessity though. Try emailing various shops if you can get their addys.

I saw a Help Wanted sign in a coffeeshop last week, specified a girl though...I could maybe work out which one from photos if you want.

The need for Dutch depends on where ya want to work. Emails are a longshot cos we take ages to check them, plus ya just wont get hired from an email....doubtful even a response. The Hemp museum, Flying Dutchman are hiring fulltime right now. Otherwise CV in hand, a thick skin and the intention of walking round town all day is yer best bet. Goodluk.
