    im am a user of hjemmeplejen, i am fluent in english, so i have no problem communicating with english speakers, how ever i will say that it is absolutely critical that care workers are completely fluent in danish, otherwise it can in the worst case scenario cost lives due to miss communication, ie. medication dosages ect. No matter where you come from and what your field of job might be, i do strongly recommend that you do your very best to become fluent in danish, it will unlock doors for you.

    A tip for network building: join one two clubs (foreninger) - sports, cultural, political. Foreninger are a big part of the Danish social fabric.

    This is possibly the most useful video/blog episode that I have watched! That's probably slightly subjective to say, especially considering how helpful all Robe Trotting/WYIDID content has been for me before and during my move to Denmark, but this one just came along at exactly the right time and Leslea gives tons of really great and practical advice for job seekers here. I was literally taking notes and making to-do lists while watching and the first thing I did was to go and find networking events to go to. And they have been great! I've also since attended an English Job Denmark workshop with Leslea and I can highly recommend doing this. If you guys could get Leslea back for a Part 3, I think it would be amazing and really helpful to so many who are on the job hunt in Denmark at the moment. This kind of support is great! Keep up the good work 🙂

    What you are refering to about legally jobs who is posted is jobs in the public. Public jobs for longer than a year is legally required to be posted but a big chunck of them is filled by internal applications. I know because I am a native Dane applying for job.

      Европа всегда была нищая. Французы ели лягушек и улиток, итальянцы тухлый сыр, шведы тухлую сельдь, норвежцы тоже ели тухлую рыбу. Когда Европа стала грабить колонии - она стала сытой. Россия не станет европейской колонией, как стала ей дикая Украина. Когда запад понял, что Россия не станет колонией, он решил сделать нищими её граждан. Санкции, санкции, санкции.... Это не помогло. Мы не стали голодными. Мы росли. Тогда запад заставил свою колонию - Украину, заставил её провоцировать Россию. По Киеву ходили маршами фашисты и кричали:"зарежем всех русских". Мы убили 600 000 фашистов - рабов запада. Осталось немного. ЕС выгонит обратно в Украину всех украинцев, что бы они продолжали воевать против России. ЕС для этого даёт им оружие. Мы и их убьём.☝️А потом... А потом МЫ НАКАЖЕМ ТЕХ, КТО НА РОССИЮ НАКЛАДЫВАЛ САНКЦИИ, ТЕХ КТО ХОТЕЛ ОТНЯТЬ У НАШИХ ДЕТЕЙ МОЛОКО. 😡МЫ ОТОМСТИМ... За то, что Меркель и Олланд обманули нас. 😡ЖДИТЕ... БОЙТЕСЬ... Россия всегда побеждала своих врагов.

    According to most think tanks, from 2017, Denmark "needs 35,000 new Danes/workers + family" every year until 2030 to maintain the workforce, the social pressure, care for the elderly, cleaning and the decline in the birth rate from its own citizens. So if you don't come here voluntarily and the Danes don't change their views on strangers/foreigners who come here, how the hell else is it going to be possible. Another reason is perhaps that the Danish politicians thought that everything must go so fast and in overdrive. Love your approach to life, the country, positive and curious. Stay tuned!!!❤👍🤟

    I'm pretty sure, a Danish company can hire anyway they want. But for public jobs in government, kommune etc. it has to be posted legally.
    As for finding jobs, always meet up with an application. Don't send it! I've done that for 90% of all my jobs and almost always got the job. With that method, I've even gotten several jobs, where they weren't looking for someone. Just by meeting up and asking to deliver the application to the person in charge of my area of interest.

    Ryan Wuzer an American responded to a yt video - Americans what the most important thing an immigrant should learn when they want to live in the US... everyone answered: "the language" because it shows that you want to integrate and respect the country you have chosen to live in.... Just something to think about

      @@RobeTrotting You talk about language and barriers in the Danish labor market. Of course there are jobs you can't do if you don't speak the language. You can't expect everyone to speak English, why should we when the language is Danish. Then I try to draw a parallel to the expectations for me if I, as a Dane, settled in the United States, where I wouldn't get far with my Danish language. You are lucky that a lot of people speak English, I would be a bit more på røven 😄 By the way, I love your podcast and that you are here, you enrich our country - I have followed you and Mike for a couple of years and love you

      Godt nok en vild overgeneralisering 😂Janteloven er hvad du gør den til. Den er super til ansvarsfralæggelse og selvmedlidenhed, for så er det ikke dig den gal med, det er alle de andre der er under indflydelse af Janteloven, som for øvrigt Aksel Sandemose mente var universel, altså ikke noget specielt dansk fænomen.

    I really don't agree with the setting up a business for expats thing, as it means you'll live in a language and culture bubble as you are then still very much not fully integrated (or integrating) into Danish society or actually learning the language. Learning Danish is difficult of course but it really is the only way to fully participate in society, and in any society for that matter. Which I think is a very important part of moving to a different country, the feeling that you belong there so to speak
