Legally apply for a job
Friends studying in the Netherlands, whether undergraduates or masters, can legally apply for jobs if you want. Librarians, supermarket cashiers, community volunteers, receptionists and tour guides are all good choices.
Salary standard
The salary level of Dutch international students working is generally 8 euros/hour, and they usually work 10 hour a week, but they can work all day on holidays. If you go out to find it yourself, Chinese restaurants, hotels and other jobs are also good choices. Although the salary may be around 5 euros/hour, it is also important to accumulate experience!
Job opportunities on campus
Another option for Dutch students to work is to work on campus, such as the student union and the international office. They will provide teaching assistants and cleaners. These jobs are relatively simple and easy, the salary is 20~30 euros/day, and the working time is generally 2 hours/day.
How to find a job
Job opportunities in the Netherlands are mostly concentrated in big cities, with relatively few in the north and south. Many international students will choose to work full-time in big cities during holidays, which will not only earn living expenses, but also enrich their life experience. There are many ways to find a job, which can be found through schools, websites and newspapers. But remember, work is good, but don't be greedy! Arrange your time reasonably and keep your studies first!
High-paying job opportunities
If you have outstanding ability, you can consider being a hotel manager, receptionist and tour guide. The tip income of these jobs is considerable, which can generally reach 100 euro/day. Skilled restaurant waiters can even get a monthly salary of 1000 euros!
