Email to a volunteer coordinator in Eindhoven

Hey Tami! I'll let you know if any of my friends are interested, but I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get much of a response from people here in Den Bosch. It's no big deal how long it would last each week. I was just curious. It actually might work out well because trivia is in Eindhoven on Thursdays! :)

We came over here for my partner's work - he works for an American company that has a subsidiary office here so they transferred us, but I had to quit my job to be able to come too. My new job is going to be with Newell Rubbermaid in Goirle, near Tilburg doing Customer Claims. I found them through Unique Multilingual, based in Eindhoven, and they're a fabulous placement agency, especially if you speak any other language besides English, but also just as a native English speaker. I also had a job working at Tele-Sales Direct here in Den Bosch, and I found them through TiP Personnel. I guess I was lucky to find two jobs so quickly - we only moved here on Oct 15, but a couple months felt like a long time to be just searching for a job!

I've adjusted ok, but my partner is averaging 85 hours a week which is totally unsustainable. :( I've joined the International Women's Club here and the North American Women's Club in Eindhoven. You should check them out if you're interested! There are also lots of wonderful MeetUp groups.
