From Global to Local: How to Write a Winning CV for the Danish Job Market

Are you an international professional struggling to break into the Danish job market? Do you feel like your impressive qualifications and career achievements somehow disappear the moment you hit “apply” in Denmark? You’re not alone and you don’t have to stay stuck.

From Global to Local: How to Write a Winning CV for the Danish Job Market is the essential step-by-step guide for expats and foreigners who want to land their dream job in Denmark. Written by Kate Dahl, a career consultant and founder of Career Denmark, this book shows you exactly how to write a CV in Denmark that gets noticed and turns “overlooked” into “hired.”

Why You Need This Book

For many internationals, the Danish job market feels like a locked door. You’ve worked hard to build your skills, but when you send out applications, nothing happens. That’s because Danish employers are not just looking at your qualifications—they are reading between the lines, searching for cultural signals of trust, teamwork, and modesty.

This book reveals how to write a CV in Denmark that fits the cultural context without losing your unique professional identity. You’ll learn how to adapt your global experience to local expectations so your CV doesn’t get lost in translation.

Whether you’re an expat new to Denmark, a trailing spouse reinventing your career, or a foreign graduate eager to land your first role, this guide helps you make the leap from being a qualified outsider to a strong insider candidate.

Why This Book Works for Expats

Unlike generic job search books, this guide is written for internationals in Denmark. It’s not just about formatting a CV—it’s about understanding the unwritten cultural rules that decide who gets called for an interview.

In Denmark, the CV is more than a list of skills. It’s a story of trust and collaboration. Employers want to see not just what you’ve achieved, but how you work with others, adapt to flat hierarchies, and align with Danish workplace values.

Kate Dahl draws on years of experience coaching hundreds of internationals to tailor their applications. With this book, you get insider knowledge that bridges the cultural gap and gives you the confidence to present yourself the Danish way—without losing your global edge.
