intership in Amsterdam

Thanks all.

Yes the most difficult as I already mentioned is to find the companies only in Amsterdam.

will follow your advises, please note that Forbes didn't hit my expectation as there is no limitation to Amsterdam only, but to all NL.

Any reason why the company has to be based in the vicinity of Amsterdam? There may be less competition for internships for non-Dutch speakers in other areas, outside the Randstad conglomeration.

Many international companies have their corporate head offices in the Schiphol airport area as well, so have a look through the directory for Hoofddorp and Schiphol-Rijk, for example.
Hoofddorp has a train station with regular connections to Amsterdam and Leiden (many office buildings are located within walking distance from the train station), Schiphol-Rijk is an industrial area that can be reached by bus from Schiphol train station in 15-30 minutes (it's a very spread-out area).

Thanks Aribo,
Well, the main reasons why I don't want to be far away from Amsterdam is:
1) do not belong a car.
2) my friends will become a company flat in Amsterdam for 6 months.
3) Amsterdam is a great city.

if you have few names of companies' headquarters in Hoofdorf // Leiden Schiphol-Rijk please do not hesitate to drop a line.

Thanks again

Your friends will become a company flat?
No offence Apatride but are you sure your English is good enough to work in Amsterdam?

Check the companies that are listed in the AEX and AMX the two most important stock listings on the Amsterdam Borse. Visit their website and check for location and jobs.

No. you are right my English isn't good enough for you. No offence, but you are totally unhelpful,aren't you!

thanks thedevils.

I was trying to be helpful in asking if you thought your English was good enough to work in Amsterdam. Everyone speaks perfect English there. Saying become instead of get is an elementary error and you've made quite a few of them. You can make a smart reply or you can think about whether you really will be able to cope in Amsterdam.

Sometimes old-fashioned print is the best thing to use. If your friends are in Amsterdam right now, maybe they could help you by taking a little trip to the Openbare Bibliotheek (public library). The central library has (had?):
      The principal companies in the Netherlands = De belangrijkste ondernemingen in Nederland = Les principales entreprises de Pays Bas

It might also be listed as "25.000 important companies in the Netherlands." I'm hoping it has a geographic arrangement, or at least a geographic index, that will reveal companies outside of Amsterdam.

Disclaimer: My Dutch begins and ends at "klompen" (although at this point I'm pretty sure "Niets gevonden" in the library catalog means "not found"), so there are probably other things at the library with similar information.

I'm surprised that nobody's asked this question before: what kind of internship are you looking for anyway? What education does it go with, what skills do you offer / want to (bring into) practice? Bookkeeping, marketing, commerce, IT, some kind of science???

And why don't you surf vacancy databanks such as Monsterboard.nl or others, using search terms such as 'stage' (internship) or 'stagiair' or 'stagiaire' (intern)? Or even search in English since you are looking for an international internship.

And doesn't your school / college provide contact details or vacancy information / have its own database of companies / vacancies?

What is your plan now? Write open applications to hundreds of companies that might not even have vacant internships to offer?

Cecilia.
Yes question is relevant.
Field of intern-ship should be in relation with, marketing,export and international business.
if possible an industrial orientated company with an Amsterdam headquarter..
my college does provide intern-ship, but not for Amsterdam.

What is your plan now? Write open applications to hundreds of companies that might not even have vacant intern-ships to offer?
Yes! after a selection of companies, reason of this OP.

Monsterboard didn't hit my expectations..
