How to build a professional network?

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.
