Dutch offices run on values like directness, equality, and autonomy but if you didn’t grow up here, it can feel like there’s a secret rulebook everyone else has read.
By the end, you’ll go from second-guessing every email and meeting to confidently contributing, fitting in, and being seen for your talent, not just your passport.
Because belonging at work isn’t just about understanding the culture. It’s about being able to bring your whole self into it.

You work hard to integrate but still feel like an outsider. Conversations feel slightly off and you’re not fully relaxed being yourself.

You know you're qualified but your CV, LinkedIn or interviews don’t seem to land the Dutch way and you’re not sure why.

You have been applying for a long period of time, and still cannot get a job and are starting to lose hope that something good can come up.

Here, we recommend each other and open our networks to each other.

Roxana is a career strategist, mentor, and coach who helps ambitious international professionals build fulfilling careers in the Netherlands.
With over 13 years of experience leading supply chain departments in pharma, biotech, and IT, Roxana knows the Dutch workplace from the inside out.
But she also knows what it's like to navigate it as an expat: the culture shock, the pressure of being the only foreigner in the room, and the challenge of starting over in a new country.
After nearly 15 years in the Netherlands, Roxana has built a career and life she loves.
Through her coaching practice, she's helped countless internationals land jobs, thrive in Dutch work environments, and step into leadership roles.
The Dutch job market has its own unwritten rules, and if nobody shows them to you, you can spend months, even years, playing a game you don’t even know you’re losing. That’s what changed with DWCS. Not overnight. But step by step, a new version of me emerged. From someone with little to no confidence, to someone who started attracting opportunities I would have never dared to think about before.
Rejection is redirection. These words were my north star thanks to Roxana's work and support for people like me, foreigners going through the specific Dutch job market.
I learned so much even from the first meeting with her.
And her course "From Ghosted to Hired" is the best guidance I received in 2 years of living in NL.
I just had to tell you! Thanks to the course I went for a promotion at work and got it! Not just a better salary but also more respect from my colleagues.
Roxana puts heart and soul in her work, and that is visible throughout. She opened doors in her network referred me to jobs and introduced me to people in my industry. She always thinks along solutions and is there to support.
I'm so grateful to DWCS, before I felt like a complete outsider, now I've made friends with some of colleagues and I feel so much happy.
It is such a beautifully put together journey. I love the fact that it is made from the perspective of someone who is also an international.
