Spouse Career Programme:
Career Counseling for Spouses in Denmark

Danish Culture

Danish culture is partly defined by our welfare state and socially minded policies. On an individual level, on the other hand, making new friends can be tricky. How should a new expat approach establishing new contacts and creating a network in Denmark of their own?

Workplace Culture

A passion for equality also defines the Danish workplace culture and you rarely encounter a competitive atmosphere, nor is it very encouraged. The key to thriving in a Danish company is establishing good relationships and rapports with your colleagues.

Job Search in Denmark

Searching for a job in Denmark is quite different from job searching elsewhere. You need a specific toolset supporting your progress. Likewise, you need to be aware of the obstacles inherent in a language barrier, even if Danes are fairly sufficient at English. We will help you develop your toolset and reach out to Danish companies.

Networking in Denmark

In Denmark, you need a proactive approach to your job search. This is for the simple reason that most job openings are filled without the use of a job advertisement. Because of this, your network will be essential for your process – which can be a challenge for any newcomer.

What is the Spouse Career Programme?

  • The Spouse Career Programme contains 6 or more individual meetings with a professional career coach, who will dedicate time, focus and network on supporting the spouse towards his og her next job – regardless if it’s a part-time job, a full-time job or freelance projects.

    Also, we have an E-learning platform, where the spouse can learn about Job Search, Workplace Culture etc. in between every meeting.

    The programme is suited for English speaking spouses with a real motivation and wish to get a job in Denmark.

Spouse Job Searching in Denmark

“The consultant from ballisager was able to give me feedback both on my approach to the job market and also on my CV and cover letters. This helped me enormously to prepare for an interview with a potential employer. I managed to secure the job, and the preparation from Ballisager, including some materials they gave me for that purpose, was a big part of being confident in the interview process.

I also felt confident that if I had not been successful in this application, that ballisager would be able to help me approach other potential employers. In Denmark this is hugely important since a large number of positions are never advertised, and network connections are very important.”
