English speaking jobs in Denmark
ThisGirlSaysOw wrote:It depends very much on you.聽 My English husband found (and often still finds) the pronunciation quite hard, but the grammar fairly simple.聽 Danish grammar is often quite similar to English or Old English, but it's not at all pronounced how it's spelled, and has vowel and consonant sounds that we don't really use in English.聽 Most people find it quite difficult to learn unless they also know a similar language (like one of the other Scandinavian languages, or Dutch, or German).
ryt. I wish to learn it fast. unfortunate mine here in Pakistan no one is teaching danish. 
thanks any ways. soon I will be in Aalbrog and I hope I will get more and more suggetion from you.
Looking forward for you advice and support
In terms of job prospects, it is very tough to get work - even if you are highly educated and experienced - at the moment. It is not impossible, but it is definitely not easy. Denmark is not excluded from the European crisis at the moment - the unemployment rate is at the highest it has ever been.
I would urge anyone thinking about moving over to research their desired job field here like crazy before buying that plane ticket. There are jobs that require fluent English however these are few and far between at the moment, depending on your background. If you are experienced in marketing then you will be at a higher advantage to a lot of people as these companies are international.
Research on these websites:
jobindex.dk
jobzonen.dk
jobsincopenhagen.com
linkedin.com
worktrotter.dk
I am in no way trying to deter anyone from moving over, if that is definitely what you all want, but I just really would encourage a LOT of research before the move. I was very lucky in that my husband and I could live off his wage whilst I job hunted but not everyone has that luxury.
I have read with much concern what you have written as regards :
"If you are experienced in marketing then you will be at a higher advantage to a lot of people as these companies are international."
I have worked with Marketing and sales in Mauritius for more than 15 years and I have sent over 400 job applications to international companies or import and export etc with no success whatsoever. I have registered in many jobsites etc without any success. I would really like to get some advice from you. I am more than discouraged. I am completing Danish Education 2 by December hopefully but I will not master the Danish Language before many years to come if ever! I am fluent in both English and French.Det er ikke s氓 godt for mig i Danmark! Jeg vil gerne have et fast arbejde...
Hope to read more from you.Tak for hj忙lp!Jeg bor i Sydfyn.
Happy Sankt Hans!

I have no idea about the job situation in Fyn as I am based in Copenhagen but if jobs are thin on the ground in the capital city then I am assuming it to be similar where you are.
As you correctly point out, I wrote that if you work in marketing you are at a higher advantage - note that I do not say that it is easy to get a marketing job because I know all too well that it is not easy. Easier, but definitely not easy. It took me seven months of searching. I applied for lots of jobs and got just four interviews. One job I applied for received 200 applicants.
What else are you doing besides registering on the job sites? Job sites were only a small part of my search. Networking also formed a part of this too - whether this was at organised events, language school, LinkedIn discussions, I was always trying to make connections. Via these connections I found out about career fairs and company open days too. Of course, this is not a guarantee to a job - nothing is.
Make sure that your LinkedIn profile is up to date, join Denmark based marketing groups, partake in discussions (you can get connections this way), get out to expat events and talk to people about professional matters - you never know who you might meet. I don't know what is available in Fyn but in Copenhagen there is a lot of career advice available to expats. Check to see what's available with your kommune. Also check out as they sometimes have career events listed here.
If you have 15 years of experience, could you not try to freelance? One thing that Denmark is good for is entrepeneurs and so there are a few start ups who may be able to use a freelance marketer if they cannot afford to hire somebody full time. This is something I was considering before I got my current job. Again, it will not be easier but you have nothing to lose.
Lastly, try and keep a positive attitude. It is easy to get discouraged but if you let that feeling take over then you will go round in a vicious circle. I never ever stopped trying and always tried to find new ways to network, new career events, etc. I wrote about it in this blog post (scroll down to the 'LinkedIn' header for the advice that I have written).
Kindly note that it's the English version of the Denmark forum.
Could you please stick to the English language?

Thank you,
Pravin.
As per the DENMARK FORUM CODE OF CONDUCT could you please post in English so that everyone can understand and participate?
Thanks for understanding.

Only Danes seem to think that the Danish language is difficult. If one can speak English, amongst others, Danish is not that hard to learn. It's a question of how badly you want to do it.
Please post in the English only on the Anglophone forum, so that other members can read your post.
Thank you,
David.

Yes, I'we checked pretty much everything what I'we found on the internet, but nothing. Most of them has said no of course, probably because that I don't spean Danish. That's why I try to find some person who might help me in the beinning, where I would manage only with English.

Pronunciation is different from聽 written but as the saying goes whatever you put your mind to do no matter what the obstacles you will be able to achieve.
Another thing,they have different accent,eg someone leaving in Copenhagen is different as well as someone living in Holstebro or struer so all depends on you.
My name is Satvik patel. I am from India. I am planning to come to Denmark. I am civil engineer. I want to know that from where or from which source you have started learning Danish language remotely. It will be very helpful to me to come there with basic knowledge of Danish language as it is required there for beginners to start job initially.
Waiting for your positive reply.
Thank you so much for your support.
I'm 20 years old without experience at all ,i speak Deutch and English.
Please contact me in case you have an a offer for me.
