Searching for a job in DK

Searching for a job in Denmark

The following websites offer job listings in Denmark. The IC will also post job listings on the website when available.

The Career Center at ASB offers many different types of relevant student jobs.

Large job databases such as:

Work in Denmark's website is aimed at connecting international jobseekers and Danish companies. The website has a specific search function for international students. The website and job postings are in English.

Temp agencies can offer periodic office and cleaning work.

Projektzone is an online meeting point for companies and students. Here students at Aarhus University can read company profiles and find postings for internships and project assignments.

CV and interview tips

An application normally consists of a cover letter and CV (Curriculum Vitae). In Denmark, the cover letter is very important. It is one page long and should include reasons why you are good for the job and what you can offer the company with respect to your previous experiences. The CV should be at least one page long and give an outline of your educational and work experiences. Depending on the job, the application may require additional documentation.

It is difficult to find a job in Denmark without adequate Danish language skills. The most important thing you can do when job searching is to ask your network of friends and acquaintances.
