Is VDAB down right now?
VDAB status reads steady for most jobseekers today, and VDAB down reports point at sign-in trouble more than a broken site. itsme loops and slow vacancy pages lead the complaints. Local offices keep their phone lines open while the platform acts up.
A full VDAB outage would freeze the job search, the training pages and the employer side together. One stuck account tells a smaller tale about your own file. Weigh is VDAB down across the board against a single login that fails.
Is VDAB down for me or everyone?
Settle the is VDAB down for me question by opening vdab.be on your phone away from home wifi. Public pages that load while Mijn VDAB spins mean the platform stands and your session broke. A blank screen on every device points wider.
How job alerts in Mijn VDAB match new vacancies to your profile
Your profile holds your target job, region and contract wishes, and the matcher scores each new vacancy against it. Strong matches land in your account and in a mail alert. A thin profile starves the matcher and fills the list with poor fits.
Updating your skills and travel distance sharpens the result fast. Marking adverts as not fitting teaches the list what to drop. Saved searches keep older wishes alive beside the new ones.
What a VDAB counsellor sees in your jobseeker file
Your counsellor reads the same file you see: applications sent, courses booked and notes from earlier talks. Gaps slow a first meeting because the basics need covering again. Fresh documents uploaded before the talk keep the meeting on your next step.
Where your CV and application letters sit in Mijn VDAB
The documents part of your account stores each CV version and the letters you sent with applications. Employers read the version you attached to that advert. Swapping in a newer CV leaves older applications untouched.
When a training course booking moves from search to your agenda
Booking a course sends a request to the training centre, which confirms your seat by mail. Popular courses fill fast and put late names on a waiting list. Your agenda shows the place and hours once the seat is yours.
Common VDAB Problems and Fixes
Most Mijn VDAB trouble sits in the sign-in route, a stale profile or a blocked upload, and each fault has a quick test.
Sign in with eID when itsme keeps looping
A loop often starts in an old browser session. Clear the vdab.be cookies, close the tab and pick eID with a card reader instead. Success there proves your account stands.
Rebuild a CV upload that the file rejects
The account takes plain PDF files and refuses protected or oversized ones. Export the CV again without a password and keep it small. Then upload it as a fresh document.
Wake up job alerts that stopped arriving
Open your profile and check the alert switch and the mail address on the file. A full spam folder hides many alert mails. Saving the search again restarts the flow.
Fix a profile the matcher keeps misreading
Wrong target jobs poison every match list. Edit the job titles, region and contract type in your profile. New adverts score against the fresh data from the next run.
Read your file before a counsellor meeting
Open the documents and history part so you know which letters and notes the counsellor sees. Upload missing proof, such as diplomas, from the same screen. Gaps found at home cost no meeting time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register as a jobseeker in Mijn VDAB?
Create your account on vdab.be with itsme or eID and fill in the registration steps. Your registration feeds your file and your benefit paperwork. An office near you can finish the step in person.
Why does itsme send me back to the VDAB sign-in page?
An old session or blocked cookies break the hand-off. Clear the site cookies and start the sign-in again in one go. A card reader works as a spare route.
Can I search VDAB vacancies without an account?
Yes. The job search on vdab.be works for guests with filters for title, place and contract. An account adds alerts, saved searches and one-click applications. Your file also stores each application you send.
Where do I upload my CV in Mijn VDAB?
Open your account and go to the documents part of your file. Add the CV as a plain PDF and name it after the job you target. Each application lets you pick the stored version.
What should I do when a training course shows no free seats?
Join the waiting list from the course page and watch for a freed seat. A nearby centre often runs the same course on other days. Your counsellor sees other routes too.
Does VDAB send my application straight to the employer?
Yes, for adverts with an online apply button inside the platform. Other adverts send you to the employer site or ask for a mail. Your file keeps a copy of each application sent through VDAB.
