RE: Benefits are slowly being cut off for the Ukrainian refugees - Netherlands

in Life Stories3 years ago

Well, sounds uneventful overall, but I guess every small step towards something like normalcy is unimaginable hard right now.

Completely agree...

No, I haven't received any positive feedback, I prepared my cv yesterday and haven't dropped it anywhere yet, I haven't applied for any job yet. I am connected with some people and they have asked for my cv first so I don't know what is waiting for me. But I am sure, I will figure out something for myself...It's very important to get involved with society and culture because it seems like this war is going to last long...

You should send your CV to some companies who do limited time-based job services and they will find opportunities for you. The salary might suxx at the beginning, but not as bad as one might think.

If you're interested in staying in central Europe there will be a new year of apprenticeship jobs in September. In Germany, there are literally tens of thousands of unfilled apprenticeship jobs in the Dual Work/School System to train the next generation of professionals for the different industries, but you would have to go all the way.

I thought about that and started checking companies. Hopefully I will figure out something.

I have heard about Germany that a lot of jobs are available there but the main problem is where I am gonna stay there and how my documents gonna work there. I am sure it will be another long process. I am going to check all the details and requirements in Germany for Ukrainian refugees. There are a few things I haven't shared on the post, and a few personal things. I am not a Ukrainian passport holder, I am a resident holder so there is a big difference between me and other refugees...

The German law on this makes a point that you need to be a refugee from Ukraine and a city authority additionally has to grant you a permit to allow you to work and live in that region. That applies to people who don't have a job or residency so far as well. It should be fairly easy to get those tasks done if there's a company wanting to have you on the team.

If you don't have an ID from Ukrain you maybe have some other proof of residence.

I have ID and proof of residency, I don't hold the Ukrainian International Passport, so probably there are some opportunities for me. I will check out the details...

I know a fair bit about the Netherlands and its lifestyle, it's very different from where my heart is. I like the german way a lot better. We work a lot, get stuff done, constantly train ourselves, love having small parties, and drink white wine or bavarian beer.

One thing is, smart and loyal people who want to stay and learn a job, will get their shot. Has been this way for literally decades. We invited the turks 30/40years ago, then a lot of Balkan people, a couple of years ago refugees from Syria and guess what, we still have a lot of jobs to fill.

I cannot relate. And hope that what you are trying to say just came out wrong.

Might be the bavarian lifestyle choice

Netherland is completely different and dutch culture-based. Life is different here and the system is very slow.

So I should try to apply as well...Now my question is that Germany is giving work permits to Ukrainian refugees?

So to answer your question, yes.

If you apply for a job and they would like you to work for them, you can register at the "Arbeitsagentur" to get a permit and access to the health care system here. Two days from now, all Ukrainians who would like to work in Germany will be granted a working permit as soon as they apply for a residency called "Aufenthaltserlaubnis nach §24". All administrative work is handled by the local "Arbeitsagentur" of that city which is responsible for the location of the job/residence.

Awesome, I should check out this information... Thanks a lot...

@priyanarc I would stay in Dutch track , after what you gone through this has to be the place to work from , germany could have been a possibility but now that is on my opinion not anymore

You are critical of Germany, that is not baseless.

I am surely not critical about Germany I love the country and former PM but when a refugee has been to two countries the advice to go to a third because the bus and train tickets are cheaper was a bit of. But if an when you probably would offer a home , a job and income and transport than it would be a great gesture and Germany could work for @priyanarc
