How to prepare a resume for the Netherlands
- If the JD is English, tailor in English; if Dutch, match then translate.
- Pull exact tool names from the vacaturetekst.
- Keep a concise EU-style CV length after translation.
- International teams may still want an English tailored version alongside Dutch.
Recommended order: tailor to the JD, then translate to Dutch when the market expects a CV.
