Career Coach Veldhoven · Brainport Region · NOLOC Certified · Sessions in English

You moved here for a reason.
Now it's time to build your own story too.

 

Maybe your partner found their place already in the Brainport region.

But what about you?

 

But building your own life and career here
isn’t as easy as it looked from the outside.

You have experience.
You have skills.

And still… something isn’t clicking.

You’re trying.
You’re doing what you think you’re supposed to do.

But you don’t feel seen.
You don’t feel confident.
And you’re not sure what your next step should be.

and let’s explore where you are now
and what would help you move forward.

Maybe you recognize this:

  • You don’t know where to start in the Dutch job market

  • Your experience doesn’t seem to “land” here

  • You find it hard to talk about yourself with confidence

  • You feel like you’re doing everything, but nothing really works

  • You’re doubting yourself more than you’d like

 

 

You didn’t move here to feel stuck.
But somehow… that’s exactly where you are right now.

You don’t have to figure this out on your own

I’m Tosca Goes, a certified career coach.

I work with internationals who want to build their career here, but feel lost, unsure or invisible in the process.

I don’t just look at your CV or your LinkedIn profile.
I look at you.

Because most of the time, the real question is not: “What should I do?”

But: “Who am I, what do I have to offer, and how do I show that in a way that works here?”

and let’s explore where you are now
and what your next step could be

How I help you

Together, we bring clarity to where you are now and what your next step could be.

 

We look at:

  • what you’re good at
  • what gives you energy
  • what kind of work actually fits you
  • how the Dutch job market works
  • how you present yourself in a way that feels natural and strong

 

No standard steps.
No pressure to fit into a box.

Just honest conversations, practical steps and guidance that fits you.

What this gives you

✔ clarity about your direction
✔ confidence in conversations and applications
✔ a stronger way of presenting yourself
✔ insight into how things work here
✔ and most importantly: movement

So you stop doubting and start moving forward again.

This is for you if you feel

“Something needs to change… but I don’t know what or how”

How the Dutch job market actually works

In the Netherlands, getting hired is rarely just about sending a great CV. It's about visibility, network and knowing how to position yourself. LinkedIn is used very differently here than in most other countries, and so is the entire application process.

That's where I come in. Practical, personal and direct, I'll tell you exactly what works here and what doesn't. And then we'll make sure you're visible to the right people.

Frequently Asked Questions

Maybe you’re wondering…

What exactly is a career coach?

A career coach helps you figure out what you want in your work life, and how to get there. I support you with direction, your CV, LinkedIn and how to approach the Dutch job market. Practical, personal and always honest.

Do I need to speak Dutch to work with you?

Not at all. All sessions can be done entirely in English. Many of my clients are internationals living and working in the Brainport region.

How does the Dutch job market work differently?

In the Netherlands, LinkedIn is used very actively by recruiters and hiring managers. Networking is essential, and the application process often involves multiple rounds. Knowing how to position yourself here makes a real difference, and that's exactly what we work on together.

How long does a career programme take?

That depends on what you need. A single session takes one morning. A complete career programme consists of eight sessions spread over roughly three to five months. We work at your pace.

Can sessions be done online?

Yes. Sessions can take place at my home in Veldhoven or online — whatever works best for you.

 

What does career coaching cost?

Prices range from € 750 for a single session to € 2.750 for a complete career programme. All prices include VAT. Not sure what you need? Book a free 30-minute call and we'll figure it out together.

Is your coaching only for people who have lost their job?

Not at all. Many of my clients are still employed but feel stuck or ready for something new. Others have just arrived in the Netherlands and want to build a career here. Whatever your situation, if you feel there's more in you, we can work on it.

Ready to take that next step?
