For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I am in a bind with regard to getting a work permit to work in another
country. The country is Holland. The agency involved has put me forward
for the contract, and says the client likes me, but that I need to have a
work permit before the process can continue. So I called the Consulate
General of the Netherlands in Halifax, and was told that I have to have the
job before I can get the work permit. So it's Catch-22. I have to have
the permit to get the job, but I can't get the permit until I have the job.
Does anyone know the solution to this? There must be one.
Regards,
Jim
