Hi everyone, just got here 2 months ago and bought the book right away.
So far got my Cpr number, Doctor and this week i should start my language course, but i am lost on the search for jobs, so far everything require danish as main language and english, spanish or italian as secondary.
If anyone require an IT guy for any type of service "repairs, upgrades or web pages" don't be shy i am all ears, i really need to get doing something and thats why i am desperate looking for my first chance.
To the equation i also studding sap, but seems that this experience is becoming very challenging with the language change and also the sap requirements.
I have follow the guide step by step related to job search and ways to ask around, but i am in the period of becoming a little to scare of asking around. |

Hi pez,
sorry to hear aout your struggels. It is a tought time for job seekers.
Have you been in touch with workindenmark.dk?
They can look at your profile, your CV, your applications and give you some advice on where to look and how to job search. It is very important that your job search is targeted and that you don't just send your standard CV and application to 50 companies. Those times are over.
Most jobs are filled with people that are recommended.
So, it is very important to have a network.
But big question: how do you build one, when you're new in a place?
Check out the groups, clubs, networks on LinkedIn, facebook, meetup etc. that are related to your profession. Go to their meetings even if the topic might not be imminently interesting. But you will be able to get in touch with people, find out what they are doing, mention what your qualifications are, ask for openings they know of, ask what company could look fo a profile like yours, etc.
Participate in forums and answer questions. You need to "profile" yourself as knowedgeable in that field. Admitted, that might be a challenge when you don't speak Danish, but if you can read and understand it, you can anytime answer in English.
Good luck,
Dagmar Fink

Hi,
Given the fact that we're now 2 years further, how would you (all of you) perceive the IT market today ? Since I'm still in the phase of evaluating to come over to DK, I have been reading a lot on the net lately and read that Denmark is mainly interested in programmers when it comes to IT. IT is still on the positive list as far as I know. But how does that translate in real life for IT people looking for a job ?
I have been following a couple of Danish companies in the CPH area and what strikes me is the average age (based on their professional background on sites like LinkedIn). I see a lot of young people amongst those being recruited. It would be nice to read your opinion about this.

Hi Pez I understand your situation. It is unfortunately hard to find work at this moment in DK. I suggest you try to get a hold of job agencies like Adecco, temp-team or rex&lindeborgh. You mught get lucky even with temporary jobs to start with that doesnt require that much danish. Some people find their luck starting as temp workers and evt. getting a full contract. Hope this helps and good luck with the job search! |
