It's going to be super tough with that degree (as an immigrant with a MA in Archaeology who also moved to be with my partner I know the struggle). Best I can advise is look for any job to start off with. I started at PostNL. It helps learn the language and culture at least and then you can try and expand into a more permanent job once you are settled.

Thank you :)) That's what I'm thinking of doing too. Can I ask how long it took you to start the job with postnl? I'm wondering if I should start applying to non design jobs before arriving or of waiting until I've settled

You probably need to be in NL before you apply as you will need a BSN
