Your message is extremely important for securing an invitation to an interview. You will want to get this right; with these clever tips, you will be well on your way.

Tip 1: keep it brief

Two paragraphs are sufficient. The rest can be discussed during the interview!   🤩

Tip 2: select quality photographs

Show them who you are. Include one with friends, at a festival, or engaged in your hobby. This immediately gives households a sense of your personality. Pictures say more than words.👀

Tip 3: What are you like as a housemate?

This is of the utmost importance. Households are looking for someone who fits in well with them. Therefore, do share: Is your door usually open? Do you enjoy dining together? Or do you prefer to spend time on your own? Demonstrate what it is like to live with you; that is what households wish to know:)

Tip 4: use this message as inspiration

 “Dear residents! Your house immediately caught my eye👀 My name is Guus, I am 20 years old and I study Public Administration in Nijmegen. I am social, easy-going, and always interested in sharing a meal or a drink. My door is often open, but I am also comfortable spending time on my own. I would be delighted to visit you!”
