That was exactly the case for Wim when he walked into Van Dijk Trucks. After his job in boat building fell through, he started looking for technical and challenging work. Preferably close to home, so he could easily cycle to work. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\u201cThe idea that you can come and take a look without any obligation before you even apply really appealed to me.\u201d<\/em> Wim happened to come across the announcement for Meet & Match<\/strong> at Van Dijk Trucks via Facebook. \u201cThe idea that you can come and take a look without any obligation before you even apply really appealed to me,\u201d<\/em> he says. And so he decided to drop by on a Saturday morning. <\/p>\nThat first impression was a hit right away. \u201cI walked in and thought: this feels like a warm welcome. The atmosphere, the team, and how everything was organized \u2013 it just felt right.\u201d<\/em> The low-threshold introduction left him wanting more, and not much later Wim spent a day in the workshop to see if the work really suited him.<\/p>\nThat turned out to be the case. Wim has now been working happily as a new-build mechanic<\/strong> at Van Dijk Trucks for a few months. \u201cThe size of the company took some getting used to.
