Hi there,

I'm going to work backwards on these questions.

Work
It is not easy to get a job in Denmark at the moment, particularly if you do not speak at least basic conversational Danish. The unemployment rate is 7.9% at the moment which is the highest it has been for a long time so even Danes are struggling to get work. For example, 400 people at LEGO were laid off in February due to outsourcing.

I would urge you to look at the job listings so you can get a feel for what is out there. Here are some below:

(Danish site but some jobs posted in English)
(for English speaking professionals)

These two sites are mainly Danish:
(Danish)
(Danish)

I would also encourage you to teach yourself some basic Danish before you come over. Anything to help yourself get a head start would be beneficial. The below sites are for English - Danish.



Food
This depends on where you go. I am not sure how much food costs where you are at the moment but I can do a weeks shopping at Netto with 200-250DKK (c. €25/£21). If you shop in the more expensive places such as Irma or Føtex then you should expect to pay a lot more.

Apartment/room
I am not sure on this one as my fiance had a flat that I could move into. A lot of my expat friends used when they first moved over. The following websites also have helpful information:



I'm afraid I cannot answer your first question - perhaps somebody else will be able to.

In addition to all the above, make sure you read through the ½ûÂþÌìÌÃs on this site so you can see the personal experiences of expats here.

Best
Nicola

I think you misunderstood me a bit, neither you or I mentioned that you were afraid. The word 'afraid' was merely a figure of speech. I hope you find the information useful - I answered another one of your posts where I have posted a link to a live q&a session re work in Denmark which is next week. Best of luck
