WORK IN DENMARK
WORK IN DENMARK
The Danish labour market is open for employment for citizens from the EU member countries. As a EU citizen you can stay in Denmark up to six months if you are looking for a job. If you succeed to find a job and decide to stay, you must apply for a residence permit.
Below you find a range of links to job centres, newspapers, trade unions and employment agencies. Please note that Danish employers in general prefer to receive motivated applications for specific jobs. Job centres and employment agencies will usually accept general applications.
Jobcentres
The Danish job centres provide information on all types of jobs for free, see
www.jobnet.dk
. On Jobnet you can search for positions based on geographic location or job type, mostly in Danish as well as place your personal data in a CV bank. Some advertisements are written in English or German.
Websites for foreign jobseekers
To keep up with the changing job situation in Denmark you are advised to consult
www.workindenmark.dk
. This site also offers a CV- and job data base.
On

Recruitment of highly skilled labour
In spite of a strong economy Denmark is also affected by the financial crises and its negative effect on the employment situation. The unemployment rate is increasing in a number of jobs - even though it is small seen from an international perspective. However, there are still areas where Denmark will continue to need labour from abroad - especially highly skilled labour. See more information on
www.workindenmark.dk
.
Jobapplications
Your CV must contain information about your job experience, education, requirements for a job, etc. The CV must also contain a letter, which provides a complete picture of you and your qualifications. It is a good idea to check the CV regularly to see if there are enquiries from employers. At www.workimport.dk you can find tips and advice on job applications.
