Long breaks on CV

[ShandyDrinker]

It's not just long gaps on the CV that's a killer but also having a number of recent long running contracts, particularly if you're going for City based IB roles.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't...

Something like that...

It is totally ridiculous and actually easy to circumvent, as we all know plenty who run "consultancies" that could provide references.
Tbh, Holland looks good, high tax, but you can see where some of the money goes, at least.

Let's face it IBs can provide good rates, but even these are dropping, if you haven't got the right connections.

Cloggers is good, great work/life balance.
There is a downside as its a very closed network and they aint too keen on foreigners taking their jobs. About 5 years ago it was a lot easier but the market is narrowing and you have to fight to get a contract. Learning the lingo is a necessity now more than ever, despite what everyone says.

Fairly specialised, so has always been a fair amount in what I do.
Most ads have stressed speaking Dutch is not necessary, but this might be a blind.
