Career Café Sønderborg: Tips and ideas to find a relevant student job in Denmark

A student job in Denmark during your studies can kickstart your career and provide you with much better opportunities to enter the Danish job market successfully once you've completed your education. It teaches you things that books alone cannot and helps you build your network.

The impact of part-time jobs is also evident in the statistics:

One year after graduation, 20% more people are employed if they've had a part-time job compared to those who haven't.
Two years after graduation, those who've had a part-time job earn approximately 2000 DKK more per month than those who haven't.
But what constitutes a job relevant to your studies, and how do you find one?

In this Career Café, you will receive an introduction to:

A few key points on the Danish labour Market
How to use LinkedIn to identify the types of part-time jobs (job titles and workplaces) that are relevant to you.
SDU's job bank, including setting up a job alert.
How to use Infomedia for researching potential workplaces, enabling you to write a strong application and perform well in job interviews.
