Currently debating whether I should fork out 5k for a language course to boost my cloggy.

Is the problem merely your cloggy or is there a general lack of a market for your skills in clogland....

Would the language course actually fix the must speak cloggy requirement or will agents just find another reason to say no to you....

5k EUR? or GBP?

How many weeks course is it?

I looked at options to learn German and the best deal I got was at the Goethe institute in Berlin. A single bedroom apartment thrown into the deal came to 1800 Euroes for 4 weeks. Add food, drink, **%&* etc into is, the total came close to 2500 EUR.

BTW, why cloggy?!

BTW, why cloggy?!

It's a reference to the people of the Netherlands' penchant for wearing wooden shoes, clogs cloggy get it?

Must speak fluent cloggy is the newest excuse.

There's no lack for my skills. It's just the cloggy way of saying "we don't want no stinking foreigners".

Currently trying to sort out getting my CV translated, at least that will get my foot in the door, if they like the CV then the lack of "fluency" shouldn't be a problem.

One week, but it's one of the best in the country and gets results.
I've already done the intake interviews with them to establish my level and what I want to get out of the course. They did suggest 2 weeks to get my writing up to scratch, but that's a tad rich for me.
I can't expense it through the company as it comes under expat tax rulings.

Did you put 'French' as your nationality on CV ?

I could do, given my first name is French and often people them think my surname is as well despite it being very Irish. Used to be fluent in French so confused the hell out of a lot of people telling them I was Irish in perfect French.
