SMEs in Denmark
Job in small and medium-sized enterprises
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have 10-250 employees.
In Denmark, 2 in 3 private workplaces are in SMEs. There is great potential and many opportunities for project collaboration and jobs. In an SME, you may be one of the first academics to be hired, and you will typically have great responsibility and a versatile everyday life with various tasks.
Job search in SMEs
When it comes to SMEs, a job opening will often be a result of an ongoing dialogue you have with the company, e.g. doing a project cooperation. It is very important that you can explain to the employers specifically what you do for them and how. To find relevant companies within your field of interest, use a company database, and do a lot of research on the company afterwards. Then contact them with a presentation on how you can help them with their business.
When you graduate, there are various options that may help you on your way to a job in an SME. Ask your possible unemployment insurance fund if it applies to you.
