I found a legit looking agency online few weeks ago. We talked about conditons, accommodation, job and I agreed to come to the NL. I have necessary documents (EU port, no criminal record etc.) That day is getting closer and closer and i am more worried, mostly about my safety there since i have read lots of posts and experiences of other people that went working abroad with these types of agencies that offer accommodation. I checked their reviews, they are rated with 4* and in the comments some people were complaining about them while others said that agency is purely okay. Their site looks cheap and outdated, i that i found them on facebook one day and decided to send them a CV, i was sending it to various agencies that i could find at that time in hopes to get an offer...
That agency told me they will pick me up from the airport and then we will have an interview in their office, also if i arrive and that job offer that i applied for is not available at that moment then they will find me something else. When it comes to accommodation, based on the info that i got, i should be with 1-2 peole in a studio room or in the agency's hotel room.
I mainly want to work abroad for a longer time in the NL because i want to be independend and have my own life. I don't want to rely on my parents anymore, i may be too young for making such a risky decision(18F) but i think that the sooner i do it then it will get better and easier, i don't want to be stuck with them till my 30s or so.
I am hesitant about the decision that i made, i am rethinking my choice for days...i even booked a flight two weeks ago, i agreed with the agency...i can cancel everything but if i do then i'll waste money over nothing, idk is that better solution or should i come there and see things for myself? I am afraid of getting trafficked or scammed so thats why i post here, i talked with my friends but they couldn't help me much, and i don't have anyone in the Netherlands so yeah, the decision is purely mine...
Or since i miss being in the Netherlands so much, i can book a nice hotel and have another temporary visit... I really fell in love with the country and everything it has and i am aware of the crisis and its bad sides and i am willing to do anything to make myself to be there one day!
Thanks for taking the time to read all of this! Any advice would be appreciated!
