Will I be able to find a job in Denmark?

When we asked people about industries and career opportunities in Denmark, 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," said another expat in Copenhagen, Denmark.

"Foreigners often have jobs in Denmark in a variety of fields, such as hospitality, retail, education, and healthcare. They may also work in the IT sector, as well as in finance and accounting. Additionally, many foreigners find employment in the agricultural and manufacturing industries," wrote a member who made the move to Denmark.
