From Global to Local: Mastering your LinkedIn Profile 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 history fade into the background the moment recruiters look at your LinkedIn profile? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to stay invisible.
From Global to Local: Mastering your LinkedIn Profile for the Danish Job Market is the essential, step-by-step guide for expats and foreigners who want to transform LinkedIn from a passive online résumé into an active, powerful tool that opens doors in Denmark. Written by career consultant and founder of Career Denmark, Kate Dahl, this book provides internationals with a proven blueprint for building digital credibility, increasing visibility, and connecting with Danish employers who are actively searching for talent.
Why This Book Matters
For internationals in Denmark, LinkedIn is not just another social platform—it’s often the first impression employers get. Recruiters and hiring managers will usually scan a profile before they ever read a CV or application. And here lies the challenge: while an international profile may look impressive abroad, it can easily miss the mark locally.
Danish employers are not only looking at skills and experience. They are reading between the lines, scanning for subtle cultural signals that reflect trust, modesty, teamwork, and adaptability. A profile that feels too self-promotional may come across as arrogant, while one that is too modest can be overlooked entirely. This book bridges that gap, showing internationals how to adapt their LinkedIn presence to the Danish context without losing their unique professional identity.
What Readers Will Learn
Inside From Global to Local, readers will discover how to:
Build a strong digital foundation – Craft every part of the profile, from photo and headline to the “About” section, in a way that is authentic, professional, and culturally aware.
Master the humble brag – Showcase achievements in a way that respects Denmark’s culture of modesty while still highlighting unique strengths and contributions.
Develop a sustainable content strategy – Learn practical, realistic approaches to LinkedIn engagement that build presence gradually and authentically, without the pressure to post constantly.
Become discoverable to recruiters – Use keyword optimization, recommendation gathering, and strategic updates to make a profile magnetic to employers in Denmark.
Navigate cultural nuances – Understand how LinkedIn in Denmark is not just about visibility, but about signaling collaboration, adaptability, and trustworthiness.
The goal of the book is not simply to help readers land a job. It is to equip internationals with the tools to attract opportunities that allow them to thrive professionally and personally while building a life in Denmark.
Why This Book Works for Expats
Unlike generic LinkedIn advice found online, this guide is written specifically for internationals navigating the Danish labor market. It goes beyond formatting tips or algorithm tricks. Instead, it uncovers the unwritten cultural rules that influence hiring decisions in Denmark.
In Denmark, the profile is more than a career summary—it is a digital story of trust and collaboration. Employers want to see not only what someone has accomplished but how they have contributed within teams, adapted to flat hierarchies, and aligned with local workplace values.
Drawing on years of experience coaching hundreds of internationals, Kate Dahl provides insider strategies that help expats adapt their profiles without diluting their global edge. Readers will find both cultural insights and practical exercises designed to make their LinkedIn presence stand out where it matters most.
Who Should Read This Book
This book is designed for anyone who wants to succeed in Denmark’s competitive job market, including:
Expats and foreigners seeking their first job in Denmark or a career transition.
International graduates eager to launch their careers with a strong professional presence.

Professionals relocating to Denmark who want to build networks and attract recruiters quickly.
Whether starting from scratch or refining an existing profile, readers will find a practical roadmap that leads from being overlooked to being approached.
From Invisible to In-Demand
Every year, thousands of qualified internationals miss out on opportunities in Denmark—not because they lack skills, but because their LinkedIn profiles don’t send the right cultural signals. From Global to Local changes that by helping readers translate global experience into a local context that resonates with Danish employers.
With clear steps, practical tools, and cultural insights, this book shows how to make LinkedIn more than just an online résumé—it becomes a cornerstone of job search strategy in Denmark.
Stop blending into the background. Start standing out where Danish recruiters are looking.
