Mange tak for sharing Anne! I saw you mention the difficulties Jacob faced finding work in another comment, which was a major concern for me when I was considering the working holiday visa in Denmark. Assuming Jacob doesn't speak Danish, it might make for a great follow up video on finding English speaking jobs.
Yes great idea! Jacob has mostly found jobs as a picker and packer. This is a very common job for non too little danish speaking people in the area we live in.
It is easier to find a job for english speaking people in the bigger cites, because they have more expats.
Jacob is speaking danish but not on the level where he can apply for a job where it is required. But he sure has tried.
Hey Anne, I am from Australia and am looking to move to Denmark on the same work visa as Jacob. Id like to ask was there anymore steps Jacob took to getting a job in Denmark? or is a permanent residence, CPR number/yellow card and Danish bank account all you need to then start apply for work?
If you could please let me know if there is anything else I would need to do before finding a job that would be great?
Also by having your name on the letterbox of your address do you mean just having your name on the lease of the home where you will be residing ?
Thank you
Kristjan
Hi Kristjan.
Thanks for the question. It's great to hear you are also wanting to give the Danish working holiday visa a try! It's an amazing country to live and work in.
Once your application has been accepted you are automatically given temporary residency.
Then once you arrive in Denmark it's important to book an appointment at borgerservice as soon as possible to get your CPR Number/yellow card.
All employers will require you to have a CPR Number when signing up for jobs.
Your next step should be to get a Danish bank account because your employer will most likely withhold the money owed to you until you have a bank account they can pay into. You will not be able to get a bank account until you have your CPR number.
When applying for jobs I would recommend not disclosing the 3 month work limit to your potential employers. This is because Jacob had some difficulty in finding employers who would willingly hire him for such a short amount of time.
You would probably have better luck if you just handed in your notice when you know your three months are almost up.
Also I want to add that if you show that you are determined to learn some Danish during your stay it will definitely benefit you as you search for jobs.
You are entitled to Danish lessons at your local language school as part of your visa.
In regards to having your name on the letterbox, this means that you need to printout your name on a label and attach it to the letterbox of your address.
This is because once you register your address with borgerservice you will start to receive mail to your residence. The postal service will not deliver it to you unless there is a name on the letterbox which matches the post. This is important for receiving your yellow card and residence card in the mail.
Feel free to stay in contact.
Thanks.
Anne & Jacob
