[thelist] RE: Working in Europe

[Dry Martini]

Graham,

I am Australian and I have lived and worked in
Amsterdam as an Internet Consultant.

My advice:
* Don't come without a job
* Learn basic dutch
* SAP, Java, Programmers are still in demand here.
* Forget about design/HTML/Interaction roles - there's
none!
* agencies hiring now are: info.nl and lostboys.nl
