Will I be able to find a job in Copenhagen?

Answer this Question

When we asked people about industries and career opportunities in Copenhagen, they reponded...

"It has been very hard for foreign professionals to get jobs in Denmark for a variety of reasons I don't need to go into. The government is slowly streamlining things and relaxing the requirements for professionals, but there is still a lot of resistence. Chemical, pharmeceutical and biotech companies seem to have a big need for well-educated (Ph.D.) scientists. I am talking about places like Novo Nordisk. I don't really know the trends. The professionals I know who came from America all have a different story: this isn't Ireland," remarked another expat who made the move to Copenhagen, Denmark.

"Foreigners often have jobs in Copenhagen in a variety of industries, such as hospitality, retail, IT, finance, and education. Many foreigners also work in the service industry, such as restaurants, cafes, and hotels. Additionally, there are many opportunities for foreigners to work in the creative industries, such as design, media, and advertising. Finally, there are also many opportunities for foreigners to work in the healthcare sector, such as nursing, medical research, and medical technology," explained one expat living in Copenhagen, Denmark.
