A Big Thank You!

January 2013
We are happy to look back upon the last 12 months with a mixture of pride and satisfaction, as Expertise in Labour Mobility (ELM) happily celebrated 20 years in business. Our celebration at the Dutch Architecture Institute (NAi) in June was a real highlight, as was the release of our What Drives an Expat book later in the year. We also updated our guides for 2013, to offer a fresh perspective for those looking for a change in the new year. We wish you the very best for 2013, and if you're thinking of working abroad, we're always here to help!

Upcoming Workshop: What Makes the Dutch, Dutch?

5th February 2013
ELm will run its 'What Makes the Dutch, Dutch?' workshop again in early February. A great chance for those new to the Netherlands to learn about their new country, and pick up the basics in working and social culture, as well as a few insider tips along the way! Always enjoyed by those in attendance, it's a great opportunity to acclimatise oneself to the strange new world of the Netherlands! More details here!
New Blog: What Drives an Expat?
January 2013
We have a new blog looking at the motivations which drive people to pastures new. Whether be it a new job offer or the attraction of romantic intention, ELM founder Nannette Ripmeester has heard a variety of stories and is delighted to share them! For more details, check out the blog here, or get a PDF version of our new book What Drives and Expat!

Looking for Work in:
Iceland

Iceland is a country which has been on everyone's lips in the last couple of years. The only country to really take matters into its own hands during the financial crisis, fire the banking leaders, and come out fighting! But where are the strong and emerging sectors in Iceland now, and how should you go about getting into the labour market? Should I turn up right on time or well in advance of my interview? Both small and large factors can play a part in your success in Iceland, and we like to think that our guide has got you covered. You can find it to order here.

Looking for Work in:
Greece

Do you know how Greece entered its financial problems back in 2009? Or perhaps it's the reason for sparking your interest to live and work there. The Looking for work in Greece guide highlights which areas have survived best and where to avoid, as well as how to professionally look for a role suited to you. Maybe you want to be part of a strong Greek comeback: Whatever your reason, Greece is certainly a place to consider in the coming year. You can order the brand new guide here!

Looking for Work in: Austria

Ever thought about working in Austria? Perhaps you've wondered how long you might be expected to work each week, or you might be surprised to know how many holidays per year you'll receive. "What is the currency there anyway, are they even on the Euro?" Learn more about hierarchy in business and how decisions are made within companies, and how you should apply for a position. It's all in the Looking for work in Austria guide.
