this web site has a good number of leads https://www.werk.nl/portal/page/portal/werk_nl/werknemer/working_in_the_netherlands_wn/inenglish and is written/maintained by an government-affiliated organization There are also lots of foreign (English-speaking) students, who don't speak Dutch, working in bars etc, mainly in the cities that have a university.

www.elynx.nl (go into notices - employment offered) http://www.expatica.com/nl/employment.html http://www.amsterdamweekly.nl/content/view/76/146/ http://www.undutchables.nl/ Depending on what type of work you are looking for you can find international companies that have offices in Amsterdam and apply direct. Hotels and Irish pubs are also mainly English speaking environments and a good place to start while you are learning Dutch. 5 years ago not speaking Dutch wasn't really such a problem but in teh last few years more and more places are asking that you have at least a basic understanding of Dutch to be employed.

Well only if you possess a EU nationality or a residence permit that allows you to work in The Netherlands or a working visa for the Netherlands is how you could apply to jobs... other than that the most of the people speak english here and in the EU countries, and people of the UK can perfectly do the job if natives are needed... So let know if you possess any of the above (residence permit, or EU member) to actually recommend you sites, other than you cannot just apply...
