Our CEO
Hi, I am Leslea, and I founded English Job Denmark in 2019 in response to seeing international professionals struggling to navigate the job search in Denmark. This was confusing, because at the same time, I was hearing from companies that they could not source qualified candidates!
So, for the last 5 years I have worked as a career consultant and helped equip internationals with the knowledge and know-how about Danish work culture and the job-search process, so that companies can hire and retain this much-needed talent.
I also host and facilitate workshops, and have collaborations with both private and public organisations such as Djøf, Københavns Erhvervshus, and Frederiksberg Kommune.
As an engaging speaker and motivator, I welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can support you.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
"I can only speak in superlatives about Leslea. When I began my job search in Denmark, I felt completely lost. The approach was so different from what I was used to in my home country. Leslea was a guiding light throughout this process. She helped me find my voice on LinkedIn, navigate the communication of my career change, and expand my professional network. Leslea is full of knowledge and practical advice on crafting CVs, optimizing LinkedIn profiles, and becoming visible to recruiters. Her positive energy is contagious, leaving me feeling more confident and motivated for the job search. She is like a helpful and inspiring friend with a bag of treasure and insights for navigating the Danish job market. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to enhance their job search strategies in Denmark. She’s an inspiration and an incredible asset to anyone seeking career guidance."

"A few months ago, I decided to leave my job to find something that suited me more & that I would be more passionate about. I found myself drowning a bit with navigating the Danish job market & a friend recommended Leslea to me. Her personalised help, advice & solid ‘know how’, really strengthened my approach to my applications. I am about to start a new job & I can’t thank Leslea enough for her help & expertise! I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to navigate the Danish work market! Thank you Leslea!"
– Kate
"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Leslea over the years, and I can confidently say I’ve gained immeasurable value from her expertise. Leslea takes a unique approach when working with candidates—she doesn’t view you as just a client or a CV, but as a person with distinct talents, values, and skills. She genuinely sees you—the individual she is supporting and believes in. Her motivations go beyond money or personal gain; she truly wants to help."
"Leslea is empathetic, knowledgeable, no-nonsense, and practical, offering tailored advice and insights that align perfectly with your goals. Whether you’re new to Denmark or simply seeking to refresh your CV and profile, there’s always something to learn from her. For companies or job seekers aiming to strengthen their presence in the Danish market, particularly with an international background, Leslea is the person to turn to. She’s an invaluable asset who can help you take your career to the next level. I always recommend Leslea to my job-seeking friends, whether they’re international or Danish, because she consistently uncovers blind spots and suggests fresh approaches to help them succeed."

"I can only recommend Leslea. Coming from a neighbouring country I thought I know how things are done here. But fact was: little I knew. Leslea helped me professionalising my CV and LinkedIn profile and gave a lot of input on how else I can approach companies and connect with them. So, if you didn't come far in the job hunt yet, check out her website, sign up for her newsletter, go to one of her events and/or book a 1:1 and get some helpful and inspiring input an motivation!"
– Katrin
"Not having much luck getting interviews, I signed up for a one hour session with Leslea. With insightful and direct advice she helped me improve my CV and LinkedIn profile and made me laugh while doing so. Soon after, I was invited to my first interview and now have a fantastic new job."
– Kate
"We here at Københavns Erhvervshus had the privilege of diving into an electrifying workshop led by none other than Leslea Petersen, the mastermind behind English Job Denmark! With her wealth of expertise forged through private mentoring journeys, Leslea took our international talents on a thrilling ride through the exhilarating world of career transitions. She used her vast knowledge of transferable skills to encourage participants to find their passion and transition to new careers, with all their skills being the core ingredient. She showed the international talents how to personal-brand and the spellbinding magic of LinkedIn wizardry."
- Trine Drechsler, Københavns Erhvervshus
"Leslea was invaluable in helping me land my dream job in Denmark. After a long period of unemployment her advice and guidance not only revitalised my motivation but helped me land my dream job after only a few short months of working with her.
From her online workshops to 1 on 1 personalised sessions and in person workshops I cannot recommend Leslea enough. If you are struggling with how to tackle applying for jobs in the Danish job market asking for help from Leslea is the single best thing you can do. I strongly recommend any expat who has moved to Denmark to reach out to Leslea for help if you are looking for advice on the Danish job market."
– Andrew Bjorklund
"Leslea is the person you want to get if you are looking for a job, and your LinkedIn and CV need some updating and adapting towards the Danish job market. I loved her direct, practical style, and all her prompts were spot on. She is a basket of knowledge and very helpful. Having her as a consultant was one of the best things I invested in."
