Københavns Amt Summer jobs in Copenhagen for English speaking canditates :) ?!?
Posted: Wed May 24, 2006 03:48 PM UTC
Hi everyone...
I am planning to go to denmark for 3 months in the summer (June-Sept) and I'm trying to find a job online. Most of the adverts are in danish. Does anybody know any good websites?
About me:
I'm a Science student in my 3rd year but I won't be finishing this summer, sadly! I speak Italian fluently and French conversational :) og lidt dansk :P
Any suggestions greatly appreciated :)

Venlig hilsen, Louise

Hi
well, I don't really mind as long as I can speak english at the work place because my Danish is very poor at the moment but I'm hoping to improve while in Copenhagen. =)
I've worked in Cafes, restaurants, Front of house etc etc in London so I do have work experience but I think danish will hold me back to get a job :(
Thats why I posted here to get some ideas of what to do :)
Thanks for your reply,
Louise

i´m pretty sure you can pick up some work in bars/cafes.

there is an area called nyhavn that is a former harbour area now full of restaurants and cafes.
that part of copenhagen is very sesonal and the places there are very often looking for staff.
it´s hard to apply in advance though, but if you just turn up and walk from door to door you should have a good chance of getting a job.

also the places near the tivoli gardens employs a lot of people.
the hard rock cafe is almost entirely staffed by foreigners.
the nightclud/restaurant called rosie mc´gees across the road from tivoli has lot´s of foreign people working there too.

in these places you just need to spaek english.
most of the foreigners i know working there speak little or no danish.
