For the majority of Dutch language jobs on offer you will need to be able to translate. This basically means being able to translate a document, email or book from English into Dutch or from Dutch into English. In this case you would need to be able to speak the language fluently in order to avoid any mistakes. One of the main parts of this Dutch job is also knowing certain phrases and abbreviations that are used in both languages and also knowing if there are any words that you should avoid using. It is also important to make sure that the overall document makes sense once translated as often they can lose their meaning. You may find that for a Dutch language job like this you will need some form of formal qualification but this can be easily obtained.
As far as translating is concerned there are many areas that you can enter into such as IT and businesses, government, medical sectors and law. All of these will require someone who can speak both English and Dutch fluently.
However translating and interpreting are not the only Dutch jobs available for those who speak Dutch. Just some of the other jobs available include sales and marketing, market research, admin assistant, PR, customer services, proofreading and writing articles. Often these jobs will pay quite well as finding someone who is fluent in Dutch is not always an easy task.
In order to find the perfect Dutch job for you it is important to first consider if you would rather remain in London and the UK or if you would be happy to live and work in a Dutch speaking country or region. There are many job sites available online which can offer you expert advice as well as a wide range of job offers. Some of these websites will even allow you to upload a copy of your CV and covering letter into their site so that employers can search for you.
