Networking may well be the way to your next job - here's why: Through your network you can obtain knowledge about industry tendencies, specific companies and job opportunities that you can't Google your way to - and that can give you a cunning edge in your application and job search in general. 85% of Danish employers are open for networking meetings*. 42% of Danish employers indicate that they are most inclined to have a networking meeting with a job seeker whose motivation and interest in the company piques their curiosity. It is the way you approach them, and not whether there is a networking relation, that is decisive*. Therefore, it is important that you put your network into play when you are looking for your next job. During the workshop we will dive into how you map your network, become better at networking and contacting relevant people. The workshop is hosted by SDU's career counsellors and will be facilitated by career advisers from IDA who are experts on networking, and it will be a mixture of theory and tools. It is our experience, that the best output of the workshops is, when our participants comment, ask questions and are getting involved. So we hope, that you will do the same. *Ballisager's annual recruitment analysis among Danish companies across industries - 2021.

A student job in Denmark during your studies can kickstart your career and provide you with much better opportunities to enter the Danish job market successfully once you've completed your education. It teaches you things that books alone cannot and helps you build your network. The impact of part-time jobs is also evident in the statistics: One year after graduation, 20% more people are employed if they've had a part-time job compared to those who haven't. Two years after graduation, those who've had a part-time job earn approximately 2000 DKK more per month than those who haven't. But what constitutes a job relevant to your studies, and how do you find one? In this Career Café, you will receive an introduction to: - A few key points on the Danish Labour Market - How to use LinkedIn to identify the types of part-time jobs (job titles and workplaces) that are relevant to you. - SDU's job bank, including setting up a job alert. - How to use Infomedia for researching potential workplaces, enabling you to write a strong application and perform well in job interviews.
