Hello,

I am an American looking for a part time or full time job in Copenhagen, Denmark. I have a degree in International Business and Spanish, but am also interested in work as an au pair, waitress, or bartender.

Does anyone know of jobs available for English speakers in Copenhagen? Any leads are much appreciated!

Thank you!

Hello Alexa,

There are different ways to find jobs. Did you already take a look at these websites ?

https://www.workindenmark.dk/https://info.jobnet.dk/om+jobnet/jobnet+in+english/

There is also this one : http://www.seasonalwork.dk/mod_inc/?P=i … kind=front if you are willing to work in farms :)

As for waitress and bartender, I don't really know if you can arrange for those while being American, because they will need to do a work permit for you, and I don't know if they do that.

Are you studying in CPH or something ?

Hi,
I have looked at those websites and upon looking at the Seasonal work site, I noticed that they do not employ non-EU citizens. :(
Thank you anyways.

Yes, definitely this non-EU barrier is not an easy task. Can you take a look at this website i found after some Googling around : http://www.newaupair.com/browse_familie … ry=Denmark

There seems to be a lot of other websites like that. I think you should be able to find something interesting if you are willing to go for au-pair.

Are there any other options that you wish to consider if you really want to move ? Like study exchange program or something similar ?

Anyways hope that you will find something. :)
