It depends on your sector, your region, and how flexible you are. Some people find a job in a few weeks, others need a few months. The most important thing is to stay consistent: apply every week, improve your CV, and follow up when it makes sense. The clearer you are about what you want (job type, field, location), the faster the process becomes.

Yes — and it’s actually very common. In Belgium, many companies hire juniors based on potential. Internships, student jobs, school projects, volunteering, or group work all count as experience. The key is to explain what you learned, which skills you developed, and what you can bring to the role.

Use a mix of channels: job platforms, job alerts, job fairs, and targeted applications. Job alerts are especially useful because junior offers can disappear fast. And most importantly: avoid copy-paste applications. A personalised application often makes the difference for a first job.
