Wouldn't that rather be discrimination than racism? Racism is the belief that one race is superior/inferior to another. And there should be no problem for you in Holland. This is a strange question.

You should be hired based your skills on the job you will be performing. But depending on the job, your body weight can play a role. Generally, an overweight person is less dynamic physically, and if you are planing to get a job with physical duties, they can reasonably expect you to be fit. Also, the hiring process entails a process of getting the interviewers to "like you" and subconsciously a fat person has less chances. Also, foreigns usually have a weaker standing when looking for jobs, so my advice is: start a diet.

Well congratulations on picking the Netherlands. It is true that many people are slim here, but at the same time, colour, creed, weight etc are not discriminated in the same way as other countries do Just show your personality and make sure you have the experience and qualifications to justify any applications you make, and don't worry. Any employer worth his salt will employ on that basis and not what dress size you are.

You are going to be mixing it with a medium to the consistency you want anyway - why should it be harder - or were you planning on squeezing it directly on the canvas?

Architects, should I go to Holland

Architects, should I go to Holland ?
I am a second year architecture student form South Africa. I have the opportunity to work somewhere in Holland for the second simester of next year as a manditory 6 month practical. The only problem is, I don't know how much they're going to pay and if I will be able to eat and maybe, just maybe have a good time now and again. The university may pay for our lodging, but that's not a given yet. My parients can't afford to pay anything other than getting me there and I have no savings to speak of. Here it'd be easy to find work. We've been given a list of 30 firms eagre to hire us, and there are only 20 students that need to be placed. I still live at home so whatever they're paying would be pocket money. So, what I want to know from somebody actually in the know, will I be able to survive financially? A chance like this doesn't come around too often. I really want this to happen.

The 183 rule only applies if you are not resident in the UK. Unless you will be out of the UK for a complete tax year (6 April to 5 April), with less than 60 days in the UK in between, then you will remain liable for UK tax and will not be liable to Dutch tax.

The 183 days rule is generally used to decide your residency position. However the mere intention to reside in Holland for longer periods is enough to make you or deem you resident for tax purposes in Holland. So if your contract is likely to exceed 183 days and you advise the Dutch authorities from day 1 that you intend to reside in Holland, for lets say 2 yrs, then you will be deemed,for tax purposes, resident in Holland. However you state that the contract is less than 183 days but if you already been there prior to commencing this new contract again you may be deemed liable for dutch tax. If you have not been there and work less than 183 days then UK tax is applied. Its not really a simple yes or no answer, several factors come into play including the mere intention to reside in Holland. Tac Doctor
