EPTIn my opinion it would probably be smarter to accept a London job though and work your way from there.

You're willing to take a janitor job but not a position your education (not your birthright) has offered you? Even if it means a stepping stone towards your (apparent) dream of a life in Amsterdam? You'll need a European passport and if the requirement for that is three years of employment - that should be an easy decision. Don't let your pride (or unwillingness to accept how the world works) stand in the way of your dreams. Also let's face it - they're not hiring you 'cause you're part of some 'elite club', successful students at high profile universities are typically able to absorb and compress immense bodies of information at a quick pace; that's what presumptive employers are looking fore. | ||

I don't want to do hard work. I want to get a relaxing job with little or no experience at all. The only thing that has going for me is that I am smart and intelligent. If you were so smart and intelligent you wouldn't need to make this blog. | ||

So what you can do is either 1.) Go to the Netherlands without a visa and try to find a job there. Once you found one, you have to go to the local alien authority and apply for a residence permit (Edit: Not entirely sure if it is even possibly in the Netherlands) OR 2.) you go to the Dutch embassy in London and obtain a visa which will allow you to work right away (and can be easily transformed into a residence permit once you are there). To do that, you should inform yourself about the requirements at their homepage. I would strongly recommend the second option as it will allow you to start to work right away and you can find out, if you even have the possibility to get a work permit before you go to Amsterdam. I wouldn't recommend ding anything illegal (like working without a work permit) as it can result into a ban from ALL Schengen countries (the ban is unlimited in time, unless you apply for it to be limited which still results in 1-5 years of ban). So go to their homepage at http://www.dutchembassyuk.org/consular/index.php?i=307 | ||
