Hi, I’m Leslea, the Founder of English Job Denmark. I started the organisation in 2019 after noticing something surprising: international professionals were struggling to find meaningful work in Denmark, while companies were saying they couldn’t find qualified candidates.
That gap inspired me to take action. For over seven years, I’ve worked as a career consultant, helping internationals understand Danish work culture, navigate the job search process, and position themselves for success.
My goal is simple , to help talented people build fulfilling careers here, and to help companies access and retain the global talent they need.
I also host and facilitate workshops and collaborate with both private and public organisations, including Djøf, Københavns Erhvervshus, and Frederiksberg Kommune.
As an engaging speaker and motivator, I’m passionate about helping people feel confident, capable, and ready to thrive in their professional lives in Denmark.
CLIENT REVIEWS
"Leslea is seriously one of a kind. She knows her stuff inside out, but more than that, she gets what it’s actually like to be an expat in Denmark. The challenges, the frustrations, and all the little things you don’t even realise you’ll face until you’re in it.
What I love most about Leslea is how real she is. She’s honest, open, and genuinely cares about the people she works with, which is rare to find these days. I’m really glad I got to connect with her and beyond grateful for the support she’s given me. I have invested also into her 1-1 sessions and would highly recommend it, deeply valuable".
– Oliver
"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."
– Iva
"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 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."
