I'm sorry to hear about your illness, I hope you're doing better now.
Personally I have found the market to be quite good recently, at least based on my LinkedIn inbound.
Something that might help is to condense your resume to 1-2 pages. There's a lot of detail in your resume and it's quite difficult to understand it at a glance.
Other than that it can help to reach out directly to people at a company your interested in working through LinkedIn rather than applying through forms. Having a coffee or online chat can open doors.
Based on your experience I'm also assuming that you've got a considerable network. Can you reach out to people you've enjoyed working with in the past?
I’m not saying that everyone in the Netherlands agrees with me. I’m just illustrating that it’s perfectly possible to live in a city like Paris or Amsterdam with a family and without a car.
What you’re describing is perfectly possible without a car.
I live in Amsterdam and have a young family. We own an electric cargo bike that we use for groceries and to cart around our daughter. You can use it with an infant car seat and for larger kids.
When we need a car we use a car sharing app. There are around 10 cars within walking distance of our flat.
Many people in cities _want_ a car but don’t need one.
