1:00AM and I just had a conversation with my childhood friend. She's in Denmark for 1 year. And already she changed 3 jobs. All in farms. In the country she used to be a pharmacy assistant but left due to financial reasons. At first it took some time but she likes caring for pigs and she is hard working. I was considering leaving too, but after hearing about her experience I have doubts. Problem is in all 3 farms the farmers ask more and more. Especially if you're a woman. You never have an exact notion of what your duties are + other stuff that honestly shocked me that they are happening in a country where human rights are supposed to mean something.
But this isn't the subject. What I want to know, and any information is very appreciated, is if she wants to go work in another field, for example supermarket or bakery, what does she need to do? Does she need to take a course? She's 27, fluent in English and started learning Danish but no idea on what to do. And I'd like to help.
Thank you.
Help!What other job options are for an unskilled employee?
Hi,
I cannot help thinking that it was better for her in the long run to live in her home country, among family and friends instead of giving up a skilled job there only to have a miserable life in Denmark.
Many jobs are out of reach because your friend doesn't speak Danish, but I take that it should be possible to find a job in a factory where she'll find proper conditions and get a contractual pay. I can see that such jobs are called produktionsmedarbejder, perhaps lagermedarbejder.

Of course, there are also cleaning jobs (rengøringsassistent). Another possibility might be to become a paper distributor for Bladkompagniet. It's night work why it isn't attractive, but the pay is fine.

I hope that your friend will soon find something better.
Good luck,
Nellie
Thank you so much for taking time and replying. I sent her the links.
Yes I know, it would be nice to go to a country to visit not work but sadly it's not possible.
Anyway thank you again for helping.
Best of everything!
Dear Nellie,
You've provided such a useful information for Tragicomedy's friend. In fact, I'm considering going to Denmark in pursuit of employment opportunities. I'm open to caregiver jobs, support worker, community organizer, etc. Can you kindly help me with that if possible?
Thank you and kindest regards,
Amilcar
Tragicomedy,
I am sure that your friend can find something better than her present jobs even in this corona times.
If I can help you further, don't hesitate contacting me.
Amilcar,
Tragicomedy's friend is an EU-citizen. That's why she can enter this country and work as an unskilled worker.
All others shall meet very strict requirements. You can find them here: https://www.nyidanmark.dk/en-GB
Take a look and see if you can find a way.
----------
Good luck to all of you,

If you are not an EU citizen (or hold a resident permit that allows you to work) you can't get a visa for unskilled work unless someone offers you a job with the annual salary of 445,000 kr or (71000$), which is unlikely that any employer will pay that for udskilled labour).
