Dear Colleagues, So there I was in India desperate to take an Internal Medicine branch in Germany but didn’t know `how’ ! As an aspiring doctor I always wanted to do my post graduation in Internal Medicine. I tried for the same in India for two years. As the system is very much different in India from Germany I would always end up either an interview for Pathology or Pharmacology and I wanted neither of them. I didn’t want to end up as a General physician. Now the question was how do I get into Internal Medicine. So I surfed on internet many websites to find about a possibility to do post graduation outside India. As I was surfing on the Internet I bumped into Pieter’s website: www.europework.eu/de That was really a big turning point for me. He gave a lot of information about the system (for Medical Professionals) in Germany. I started preparing in India as per his guidance. He guided me all the way from German language courses to securing a Visa until I found a job. He even prepared me for the interviews. Of course as an individual you have to do a lot of hard work, but it’s always nice when there is someone to guide you. And Pieter is my Guide. Pieter Verweij is a God sent man for me. Indeed he knows his work very well. Without his guidance it would not have been possible for me to make it in Germany. As he always says ‘Be calm and have patience’. Be sure to be calm and have patience. Rest is hard work and luck. I recommend his guidance for others as well. Thank you Pieter once again.

Dear colleagues, I would like to write about my private cooperation experience with the agency “Europework” and personally with Mr. P.G.Verweij. My name is Vagan Chartaryan. I was head of the department of Anaesthesia and Reanimation at the University Hospital in Armenia. Owing to the agency “Europework” and Mr. P.G.Verweij’s efforts I am already in the Lower Saxony making preparations for my work as an doctor on favourable working conditions. I found out about Mr. P.G.Verweij from a friend of mine, who had been working for more that one year in Germany, and I am contented with the conditions of my work. Let me note, that many friends of mine are successful thanks to the cooperation with the agency “Europework”. Over the whole period of our cooperation Mr. P.G. Verweij supported me at the organisation – by instructing me on the particular consequential activities, providing me with valuable information and advice, taking a lively interest in my progress, negotiating all details with both parties, he met me on my arrival to Germany and accompanied me to my destinations. It is astonishing, that Mr. P.G. Verweij possesses the required information not only in Germany, but also in Armenia and he is able to find optimal solutions everywhere. Mr. P.G. Verweij has also organized German Language Courses both in Germany and in Armenia. The secretariat of the agency was carrying out training for interviewing, which was a great help in actual practice. Several interviews in different clinics were organised with his help, whereas I chose the one, where I am going to work. Mr. P.G. Verweij’s professionalism allows me to recommend him for a prosperous cooperation. In the person of Mr. P.G. Verweij you will win a very good friend, who will help you during the whole period of your cooperation.
