Preparing your CV for Denmark
EURES says applications in Denmark are commonly submitted online and that employers typically expect a CV and a motivation letter adapted to the position. Workindenmark provides additional guidance for international applicants.
Check the complete application
Use the motivation letter to connect a few relevant examples with the employer’s stated needs. Keep dates, qualifications and detailed work history in the CV. Check whether the portal asks for a letter as a file or as text.
A practical writing example
For a production-planning role, explain how you handled a real material shortage: what information you checked, who you coordinated with and what schedule you revised. Avoid claiming that every shortage was resolved.
This is an illustrative writing example. Use only details that reflect your own experience.
