Professional People, Invaluable Guidance

I was recently offered a position and I am very grateful for the help and guidance of Akademikernes A-Kasse and specially Mr. "Poya Ranjbaran" who took several hours discussing how I can improve my CV and cover letter and what to expect during interviews.

Great opportunity for any job seeker

It is a great opportunity for any job seeker to get a mock interview.
It helped me a lot and Mr. Morten was kind enough to share his experience and knowledge with me.
It helps you get in the interview "mood" before you actually have the interview. It can give a good example of how you are going to behave in the actual interview and improve in certain areas if necessary.
It was very helpful and I hope it will get the expected results

Useful insights from workshop by Morten Arendrup

Positively surprised by the depth and usefulness of the insights about job interviews in Denmark, that Morten Arendrup kindly shared at a "Job interview" workshop at Akademikernes. It was useful to better understand the expectations and cultural nuances of a Danish style interview, especially in comparison to other places like London. Morten possesses deep knowledge of recruitment practices from a long professional career. Wholeheartedly recommended!

AKA review

Most graduates, when finished with their education, are jobless and broke.
I was jobless when i graduated, but thanks to AKA and their support I did not need to borrow money to get by during that period.
I looked for work for 4 months, and with the help and support of AKA, I improved my chances, and got a job. Throughout this process they were kind, understanding, and incredibly helpful.
I would recommend their services to any young person in need of assistance in finding a job.

Practice, Career counselling and Mock Interview

Akademikernes gave me an opportunity to perform mock interview with Mr. Morten Arendrup. I was able to build confidence through the practice and counselling sessions for my final interview.
The mock interview helped me to proceed with the final stage of selection process for the company I applied.

I highly recommend to fix an appointment with Akademikernes experts before you go for final interview.

Presentation by Morten Cavling Arendrup

I heard twice lecture by Morten Arendrup, and it was one of the most practical, focused and useful presentations on the topic of finding jobs in Denmark and building a network. He has many examples and advices, and common sense answers to questions. Tak!

The workshop is useful.

The workshop is very useful. It helped me know how to build a network. Actually, I am pretty bad at doing this. It is important to know that network is not directly for getting a job.
I think the time of doing practice is a little bit long. I think if there is more knowledge about the last point of the agenda "ways of networking", it will be better.

Fantastic Experience

I had 4 sessions at JobMind. The experience was fantastic.

When we are job searching, we mostly work on our own. Job applications are individual, so, there is not a lot of people to ask for help and, since it is 2015, companies provide absolutely no feedback, neither for successful or unsuccessful applications.
Therefore, Akademikernes A - JobMind coaching sessions are the service that strongly help and motivate many graduates. During the worst job crisis ever for graduate job seekers, these solutions manage to provide a highly qualified support and advisory for university graduates who tend to feel completely lost.

In an extremely competitive job market where the small details are so determinant distinguishing the very good and the perfect candidates, the "traditional advice", such as "avoid typos on your CV", "focus on your skills", "include a nice picture", "shape the CV/C.Letter to the company you apply for" (etc.) are clearly not sufficient to make a job candidate out stand. This is why the Akademikernes A - JobMind service leaves all the obvious behind and takes a hands-on approach that brings job-search to an upper level.
Thanks to the job advisory I received, I got invited to several job interviews, during which I felt much ore focused and confident. This is why I would advise every university graduate to apply for some sessions in order to maximize his productivity and success as a job-seeker.

I highly recommend the Jobmind coaching sessions.

Through the coaching sessions I gained more confidence in my own strenghts and managed to identify my weaknesses and now know how to turn those into strenghts too. Also, I belive Linda John helped me see the mistakes I was making in my cover letters and taught me how to personalize each job application and make it stand out.

Linda is a great coach!

I highly recommend the sessions to anyone who is in the process of finding a job!

Fantastic help for efficient job search

When I joined Akademikernes as a freshly unemployed I already had good education and relevant working experience. However, I did not know anything about job search in Denmark. I was assigned a great coach Linda who helped me to understand how to approach Danish job market successfully. We concentrated on application writing and the interview process during the coaching sessions.
Those coaching sessions were really helpful - I got my dream job with one of the best employers in Denmark within 2 months since the start of my coaching.

Jobmind coaching at Akademikernes guided me very successfully through the interview process towards my first job in my field.

I received more support and advices than I was expecting. The meetings were short, effective and very good organised. I own special thank you to Linda John and I highly recommend the Jobmind coaching at Akademikernes.

Some of the best coaching sessions I ever had

I have been to several coaching sessions or courses on job searching in DK, but none has been as useful as the ones done by Linda John.

The coincidence was that the job coaching sessions took place in the same period as I was interviewing for my current position as Communications Consultant at NNIT
The sessions were very professional with a lot of exercises we did and reflections I found very useful. Linda John was very good at spotting my personality traits, my strengths and weaknesses and and asking the right questions, trying to understand and adapt to my situation.

Linda John's approach was really different that all the other people I met at the A kasse or Job center, she really made a difference.

Why Jobmind got me my dream job

It is well documented that happier people perform better. It is also well known that being unemployed is a trigger for a depressive cycle that can erode motivation and ambition. With out jobmind I would have been trapped in that negative feedback cycle of exclusion and isolation. Jobmind acted as an intervention that helped me escape this trap by listening to me where I was and clearly outlining how I could improve my situation. This greatly reduced my anxiety and boosted my confidence which lead me on a journey to a project placement with Veolia, a chance meeting with a google x team, interview offers with Quartz & Co, to my current role now as Head of Business development in a international immunotherapy firm. With out jobminds motivation I wouldn't have escaped the metaphorical "joblessness sofa" and would not have made it where I have today.
