If you are an Aussie or New Zealand citizen, you might be eligible for a Working Holiday Visa (you would have to leave the country to apply for this and re-enter the Netherlands on the new visa).

Hi Lovebug

In order to change your student visa into a work permit you will need to have your potential employer apply for a work permit on your behalf.
