Finding a job - a good story for a change

14 years ago

Hi guys,
As I have seen so much negativity everywhere when it comes to finding a job in Denmark, I thought I'd share my story. I arrived end of March and started looking soon after (yes, after). It took me 5 months to find a sales job, but only 3 weeks later I got an offer from a multinational company and now I work there. Yes, it has not been easy as you don't get too many chances, depends a lot on what you do, etc. but it is possible. And I have quite the common profession, that you don't need to import people from abroad for. I was lucky, yes, but also persistent, although I did have some points where I really felt like giving up. Keep in mind that you have your own good value and don't get desperate. And also, start looking way before you come here, and state that you are available to fly in to interview. You'll have a chance to see how in demand you are, plus depending on where you come from, might be even cheaper.
So, heads up, and good luck :-)
