📢 Annoncering af stillingsopslag

For at få mest muligt ud af markedsføringen af jeres virksomhed og stillinger, anbefaler vi, at I slår jeres stillinger op på jeres stand hurtigst muligt. Kandidater kan nemlig se jeres stand 4 uger før selve jobmessen afholdes. Se hvordan I opretter stillingsopslag her.

I optimerer jeres stillingsopslag ved at: 

• Beskrive stillingens indhold og forventede kvalifikationer tydeligt.
• Skrive stillingsopslaget på engelsk.
• Henvise til egen jobportal og/eller hjemmeside. 

Vær dog opmærksom på at platformen giver jobsøgere mulighed for at søge stillinger direkte via platformen. Derfor er det vigtigt, at I løbende holder øje med platformen, så I ikke går glip af kvalificerede ansøgere.

📅 Book online interview

I har mulighed for at booke online interview med kandidater, der har vist interesse for en af jeres stillinger. På jobmessen den 14. maj har I adgang til nogle 30-minutters ”interview slots”. I vælger på forhånd, hvilke ”slots”, I vil gøre tilgængelige for kandidater. Se hvordan her.

Online interview afholdes via audio-video chat programmet Jitsi. I behøver hverken at installere programmet eller tilpasse jeres system/firewall. 

💬 Chat med kandidater på messedagen

Via en chat-funktion, der er indbygget som en del af jeres udstillerkonto, har I mulighed for at chatte med kandidater i løbet af dagen. Vi forventer, at I er tilgængelige til at chatte med kandidater i messens to timer (medmindre I holder oplæg).

Dear Participant,

Thank you for joining our upcoming event taking place online on 1 October, 2025. 

In order to get the most of this job fair we recommend you to:

Register and upload your CV

When you register, be specific about your language, technical or soft skills, as well as educational fields. You can add your picture and, if you have one, your Skype account ID. If you haven’t done so yet, we strongly advise you to have your CV uploaded in English or have it retrieved from the EURES portal. You can as well add your LinkedIn profile or any online portfolio. For guidance on how to register and create your profile watch the video.

Apply for jobs & confirm your attendance to interviews

There will be plenty of jobs waiting for you on the platform. Browse through these vacancies and apply as soon as possible to those matching your skills and expectations. Uploading your CV is not enough, the employer can only view your profile/ CV when you apply for their jobs.

Companies may also invite you for one or more online interviews to take place on the event day.

In case you are pre-selected, you will get a notification by the employer(s) on possible timeslots for the interview, to which you should answer as quickly as possible.

If you have already applied, you might have some invitations pending your confirmation. Please check on a regular basis. 

Prepare for the interview(s)

In order to better prepare, you should thoroughly research available information on the participating employers page, their main projects and recruitment needs. Select the companies you want to approach, or who have invited you for an interview, identify the questions you may want to ask and try to anticipate possible questions from the employer.

A professional appearance is important (even if the interview is online) and a good level of English combined with a positive attitude, will prove highly beneficial.

Please make sure, ahead of the day of an online interview, that you have access to:

• PC, laptop, tablet / iPad or another mobile device plus a headset with a microphone and a webcam
• a stable internet connection

If you have an interview time slot confirmed, the employer will contact you on the time agreed. 

On the event day, you can chat with employers and EURES advisers regarding job possibilities and other related issues. 

We look forward to meeting you online on 1 October 2025, and wish you good luck on your job search!

In Denmark – just like many other countries – you can either rent or buy a home. In Denmark there is also a special form of housing called the “condominium apartment” or “housing cooperative” (Danish: andelsbolig). This housing type can be considered to be something between renting and ownership. You buy a share in a building, then pay a monthly housing fee, which is used by the condominium association (Danish: andelsboligforening) for expenses such as interest payments, repairs and upgrades.
