Hi, i have just moved to nyborg in denmark with my danish wife of 2 years.  . Im qualified in electronics as a test tech. but 3 companies have told me that my qualifications are not recognised here. (strange considering my last job was testing turbine components for a danish company in a british factory) So that door is closed for the time being.
 
I was offered one job,but that was on a pig farm weighing pigs before slaughter and i'm a vegetarian,so that was a non starter!

Does anyone know of any temp agencies or warehouse/labouring/general dogsbody agencies  where i can register?
most of the agencies i have seen have been copenhagen centric and leaned towards finance and that sort of thing.

im not proud and i don't care if i have to dig holes or deliver newspapers :-)

Thanks for reading

Hi Dave,

Welcome on board :)

I suggest you browse through the Jobs in Copenhagen section and drop your resume in the work sector that you feel more comfortable doing please :)

Fingers crossed you succeed finding something soon !

Best of luck with everything :)

Most of the jobs on Funen are to found in Odense so I will suggest to you that you also search a job there.

The local papers might also be an idea.

In this week's paper (page 44) they are actually looking for a paper deliverer in Ørbæk, close to Nyborg.

What about Ikea in Odense?

There is also the possibility to send them an unsolicited application. I don't know whether it is only to sound welcoming (often for that reason), but you may try.

Hi Dave,

I totally understand your concerns and attempts. I myself am looking for a job and came upon the following agencies:

Hudson
Teamviaren

I guess when you write Recruitment agencies in Denmark or your town in Google, some good ones will come out. I did the same for Copenhagen and this is how I found the above.

Alternatively, I am trying the website www.workindenmark.dk, which has job postings all over the country and are from all fields. Not only finance and IT-related, which I also noticed dominate the market.

Regards and good luck,

Toni
