Description
The Danish job market is a competitive hunting ground. Many applicants find themselves sending out hundreds of CVs without any joy. In this episode we identify what makes the Danish job market different from other countries, and why it is so hard to get a foot in the door. Sam and Josefine speak with Karey-Anne Duevang, CEO of The Welcome Group and English Job Denmark and Nikolaj Lubanski, Director of Talent Acquisition at Copenhagen Capacity to get their perspective on the Danish job market. We talk about what it feels like for Danes and non-Danes alike through the job process, and also how Danish hiring managers might be missing out on some top talent due to cultural confusion. Next week we will be talking about practical tips for how to get a job (in Denmark) and so be sure to subscribe to not miss out!
