We warmly invite you to engage in a series of 2-hour Workshop Sessions and Job Café Events over the coming weeks, each centred around essential aspects critical to your job search.

Join us equipped with your laptop and spend these two hours alongside fellow job seekers and a career consultant from the Dual Career Spouse Network. Use this opportunity to concentrate on the most important aspects of your job hunt and receive valuable feedback from both peers and the career consultant. We also focus on networking as part of the series. This series is very informal. Preparation Bring the material you are working on at the moment. Feel free to join this informal and cozy event where you will get the opportunity to network with other like-minded professionals and get inspired on how you can improve your material.

Job Seeker Network - Series Walk & Talk The summer can be a bit slow in terms of available positions to apply for. A lot of people are on holiday and traveling. It can be kind of boring to sit at home the entire summer and now you do not have to. Throughout July Job Seekers Network Series is turning into Walk & Talks. This way we can still meet up and talk about job search, or other things of importance for your well being and stay in Denmark. This series is very informal, so feel free to bring your own coffee and snacks. Preparation: Make sure to bring your coffee and use the facilities before we leave at 9 am. We will go for a walk around the city center while talking ant networking. Please note, spots for participation are limited, so prompt registration is recommended.
