Dear All,

I am new in Denmark, I have a higher education, but for me it is more important to find a job in Denmark ASAP to become an active member of this great society, in this way, I learn the culture, I learn the language and with time, it will be much easier for me to find a job within my field. At this moment, I am joining Danish language school.

I am a team player where I get a chance to learn with my peer colleagues where every individual is an inspiring force. I am an “open seeker‟ with “can do‟ attitude in the quest of learning from one curve to another. I am determined to deliver and contribute with integrity and commitment.

I also received a danish driving license and can work as driver.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Hi Afshin445,

I know how it feels, I was in the same situation 10 years ago, holding an engineering degree from abroad, which was basically useless here. Then I learnt Danish (OK, I finished language school, which was far from knowing how to communicate), finished an international bachelor programme and... back to basics. Cleaning, ironing, temporary job agencies (mind you, https://www.profilmatch.dk/ has some great offers)... Then I got a job that taught me what I didn't want to do, until the day I was headhunted on LinkedIn. I had to start the day after! I had the perfect job in an international environment using both Danish and English on a daily basis. Unfortunately, due to liquidity problems of this startup, I couldn't continue working there. I established my company on the first day of my unemployment. I really didn't feel like going through this job searching nonsense again.
My advice to you is to be active on LinkedIn and create a sound headline.
Also, feel free to add me as a connection: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeneiistvan/
It could be beneficial for both of us, and depending on what kind of engineering background you have, my connections (employees/recruiters/headhunters in the field of construction) might find your profile interesting.
Good luck with your job search!
