Where are the available jobs?

Sectors with High Demand

The Danish job market is booming and many sectors are facing skills shortages. Therefore, there are many sectors with good job opportunities for both skilled and highly qualified candidates. Especially within the following sectors:

• Life Science
• Healthcare

Danish employers expect that you are well prepared when applying for a job, and if you are a match for a position they might want to invite you to a job interview. Here, you can read some good tips to prepare yourself for the job fair.

When applying for a job:

Focus on how your qualifications match the requirements mentioned in the job ad.

Your job application should consist of your CV and a cover letter. Usually, you submit your CV and cover letter electronically – the company will contact selected applicants to be interviewed.

Thorough research is a must. The more you know about the company, and how your professional qualifications can contribute to their business, the better.

If you have graduated recently, it is a good idea to enclose a copy of your diplomas. If you have years of work experience, you should only enclose diplomas if requested in the job ad.

Most employers decide whether you are an interesting candidate within minutes. This means that both your application and CV must be well written and to the point.

We have gathered our best tips for you when applying for a job in Denmark. Learn how to create a great CV and cover letter, how to apply unsolicited and how to prepare for the job interview.

Residence and work permit

Check if you need a residence and work permit before you start your job search

Prior to job searching, it is always a good idea to find out whether you need a residence and work permit to live and work in Denmark.

The Danish regulations on residence and work distinguish between three overall categories of citizenships:

• Citizens from Nordic countries

• Citizens from EU/EEA countries and Switzerland

• Citizens from countries outside the EU/EEA

Citizens from Nordic countries, EU/EEA and Switzerland do not need to apply for a residence and work permit.

Citizens from a country outside of the Nordic countries, the EU/EEA or Switzerland must apply for a residence and work permit. Also if you hold an EU Blue Card from another EU country.

Workplace culture in Denmark

Understand Danish workplace culture and have a good start to your work life in Denmark

Flat Hierarchy

The hierarchy can be more flat and invisible than you are used to so far, and therefore hard for you to observe in the office layout for instance. Your new manager might not have his/her own office but is situated among all your other colleagues. Everyone knows who is in charge, it is just not 'shown' by a separate manager’s office. This means that there is an implied hierarchy, and decision lines are not always obvious. Therefore, it is important for you to ask and find out who the immediate manager is as well as the general layout of the hierarchy in the company.

Working in a team

The Danish way of working is very often in a team function, and everybody is expected to pitch in with ideas and opinions. Assignments are developed in collaboration with your colleagues, and you are free to contribute with your own ideas and opinions. However, you are expected to carry out your own individual tasks, and you have the responsibility to deliver the assignments on time.

Flexible Working Hours

In Denmark, a standard workweek consists of 37 hours of work, usually carried out from Monday to Friday.

Punctuality is important in Denmark. This means that it is more important that you meet your deadlines and show up on time to meetings than when or where you carry out your work. Employees at a Danish workplace are expected to show a high degree of independence, for instance in planning the tasks at hand.

In some workplaces, this high degree of independence also includes managing your own working hours. Meaning that the employer trusts you to plan your working hours for the benefit of both the company as well as your work-life balance. The main purpose of this is for you to be able to enjoy a life outside work.

Acting Proactive

Responsibility of completing a task is often shared when working in a team. Even if someone else takes the lead on an assignment, the other team members still have an obligation to help the team succeed in completing the assignment.

The responsibility is both for you as an individual and for you as a part of a team. Once you have accepted an assignment, you are expected to keep your manager updated if you do not have the resources to complete the assignment. It is important to show initiative when you stumble upon problems in your work life. Do not leave other people to take care of it.

You can show initiative in a specific assignment where you solve a problem that you come across in your work process, but you can also show initiative by acting on a small practical matter. If for instance the printer is low on ink, replace the ink cartridge instead of waiting for others to take care of it.

Informal Tone of Communications

Generally, the Danish workplace culture is characterised by being quite informal. There is no dress code and people talk informally to each other. When introducing yourself, you can use your full name if you like. After the first introduction, it is standard for everyone to use your first name, as well as for you to use their first names. Yes, also the person in charge.

Also, your title and status are not overly important in your everyday work life. In fact, it is common to be humble about your status. Your colleagues will ask if they want to know more about your academic background.

We recommend that you take our e-learning course "Introduction to Danish Working Culture" to get a deeper understanding of Danish workplace culture and to find out how you deal with situations that may be unfamiliar to you.

E-learning course: Introduction to Danish Working Culture

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.

Dear Participant,

Thank you for joining our upcoming event taking place online on 26 October 2022. 

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 the 26 October, and wish you good luck on your job search!

For at få mest muligt ud af markedsføringen er det vigtigt, at du slår dine stillinger op på siden så hurtigt som muligt. Kandidater får nemlig mulighed for at se siden flere uger før selve jobmessen afholdes.

Via annonceringen har I mulighed for at henvise jobsøgere til jeres egen jobportal eller hjemmeside. Vær dog opmærksom på at event platformen er opbygget således, at det er naturligt for jobsøgere at søge via platformen. Derfor er det vigtigt, at I løbende holder øje med trafikken på platformen, så kontakten til kvalificerede ansøgere ikke går tabt.
