Finding a job in Denmark can be challenging, especially if you don’t speak Danish. With only a quarter of jobs being publicly advertised, many opportunities remain hidden. This interactive workshop will help you uncover those hidden opportunities and give you the space to reflect, reset, and plan your next career steps before the summer break.
What you’ll learn:
Part 1: From hidden jobs to hidden opportunities
-How to spot opportunities before they’re advertised & Ways to approach companies with collaboration or project ideas
-How to use informational interviews to open doors
-Building visibility and relationships before the summer slowdown
Part 2: Your summer career reset
-Reflect on what’s working and what’s not in your job search
-Identify your strengths, wins, and areas for growth
-Set clear, achievable goals for the next quarter
-Create a simple summer action plan to stay visible and motivated
Part 3: How to make AI work for you in your job hunt with Maria
-Stop using AI in ways that make your CV and cover letter sound like everyone else's. Instead, set-up an AI-assisted process that genuinely helps you navigate the Danish job market.
-Learn how to use GenAI to find suitable roles, write compelling unsolicited applications, and tailor your CV, without losing your own voice!
-Take away ready-to-use prompts and a project setup you can start using immediately
This workshop blends practical job search strategies with reflective exercises to help you feel confident, focused, and ready to act. You’ll leave with a renewed sense of direction, a clear plan for the summer, and tools to position yourself for success when hiring picks up again after the holidays.
Who it’s for
This is for any professional in Denmark who wants to strengthen their job search strategy, build meaningful connections, and approach the summer with clarity and confidence.
Your Hosts:
Maria Schmidt has spent her career delivering complex technology programmes at global organisations, always keeping people at the heart of her work. After moving to Denmark in 2020 to join Novo Nordisk, she spent five years navigating professional life here as an international. When the mass layoffs hit in late 2025, Maria found herself job hunting for the first time — so she built a system. Through trial and error, she turned ‘Claude’ into her personal job-hunting assistant that makes applying easier while keeping her voice intact. This workshop is what she learned along the way, shared honestly.
