26 Aug: Networking strategies for career success in Denmark Workshop

26 August 2026 from 09:30-11:30 (Doors open at 09:00)

Location: Djof, Gothersgade 133, 1123 København K

English Job Denmark has partnered with Djof, to bring you the first workshop after the summer, to help you navigate the Danish job market.

Finding a job in Denmark can be challenging, especially if you don’t speak Danish. With most jobs advertised already filled internally, through recommendations or company search, how can you become part of this network and create opportunities for yourself?

We’ve all heard it before, network, network, network! But what does that actually look like in practice, and how can you do it effectively (and authentically)?

Join Leslea Petersen, Founder of English Job Denmark, for this interactive workshop where she’ll share her personal journey of uncovering Denmark’s “unwritten rules” and building a powerful network that led to collaborations with some of the country’s biggest brands.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• Why networking in Denmark is different and how to adapt
• A step-by-step guide to building meaningful connections
• How to craft and deliver your elevator pitch with confidence
• Smart ways to ask for introductions and recommendations
• Where to find the best networking opportunities (online and offline)
• How to feel comfortable networking, even if you’re an introvert.

By the end of this workshop, you’ll walk away with a clear networking strategy, the tools to write your elevator pitch, and a toolbox of practical ideas to help you open doors and create job opportunities in Denmark.
