Doing research: moving to CPH

Good day fellow expats,

I'm in the process of moving to Copenhagen and just started doing the necessary research. I have read a lot of the threads in this forum and other forums, blogs, etc. I have visited various cities in Denmark and mostly Copenhagen and I have a very good idea of the neighborhoods and most of the practicalities as a tourist staying with locals and doing the tourist thing but "the local way".

My questions, that I haven't seen answered anywhere are:

1) How does the job market look like in Copenhagen right now? I dunno if the worst is over regarding the financial crisis.

2) I speak Swedish fluently and understand written Danish with little difficulty. However, understanding spoken Danish is more difficult for me because of the way it sounds. The times I've been down there, I have used both Swedish and English and told people, in Swedish, that I don't understand Danish but I speak Swedish and that if they would speak slowly I may understand them. The responses I've got is that they understand Swedish and people have been very accommodating to me. The more I visit Denmark, the more I understand Danish but because I don't live surrounded by it, it's a bit harder for me to learn it.

Many people already living there, especially in this forum, say that no Danish = VERY hard to get a job. I understand this. BUT, with my Swedish, would it be LESS hard or just as hard?

My friends say that I have a high education from my mother land, I speak Swedish, English and Spanish fluently (Spanish being my mother tongue) and that it should be ok for me to just make the move. I don't doubt that they have very good intentions toward me, but in the end, they are Danes and they probably don't have the same issues I, as an immigrant, may have.

Also, I feel very insecure about not being able to understand the local language, and that makes me a little more shy in my approach. However, I'm looking into taking some classes before I make the move.

3) And this is the most stupid question and for that I apologize. If I don't manage to get a job before I move, I will move anyway. How do I go about getting a job? I mean, so far the jobs I've got have been thru job search websites or because someone knows someone. My Danish friends know of my intentions and they've said they'll keep their eyes and ears open, but I rather not rely on this *alone*. I haven't needed to go out and knock doors, which is why I ask for tips on how to proceed.

4) To determine the "right time" to move, is there a peak in the job/living arrangement markets? For instance, here, the biggest chances to get a job are between mid Jan and mid June and between mid Aug and mid Dec.

Right now, while I do my research about the other practicalities involved in moving and changing countries, I'm saving as much money as I can to make the big move.

Thank you very much in advance.

Edited to add: I forgot to mention that I'm a Swedish citizen and that I don't just wanna rely on friends for the job part, I wanna be able to carry my own weight so to speak. Thanks.
