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.

On April 12, 1945, a stunned world learned that Franklin D. Roosevelt, the leader who had brought the United States through the two great crises of the twentieth century, was dead. Responding to this shocking development, the Danish physicist, Niels Bohr, expressed the view that it seemed impossible to believe that “the great man, upon whom more than anyone else, the hopes of humanity were centered” was gone. What Bohr and the rest of the public did not realize, of course, was that by the spring of 1945 Franklin Roosevelt was a dying man. What’s more, his sudden disappearance from the world stage at this critical moment meant that leader who had orchestrated the alliance that would go on to defeat the forces of fascism and set the stage for the successful creation of the United Nations would not be there to witness these historic developments. Nor would he be present when his government faced one of the most daunting decisions made in human history—the decision to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Roosevelt’s absence at the dawn of the nuclear age has raised several questions about what might have happened had he lived long enough to witness the successful development of the atomic bomb. Would Roosevelt—whose knowledge of and involvement in the making of the atomic bomb was far more extensive than President Truman’s—have followed the same course of action? Or might FDR have pursued an alternative strategy for ending the war, through negotiation or a demonstration of the atomic bomb’s awesome power. Equally significant, might he have ultimately taken Bohr’s advice and shared the atomic secret with the Russians in such a way as to gain their confidence and perhaps avoid the onset of the nuclear arms race that stood at the heart of the Cold War? As discussed in this presentation, a close examination of FDR’s last 100 days in office offers some interesting clues as to what Roosevelt might have done had he lived long enough to bring the most destructive war in history to an end.
