Good opportunity to get prepared for the complexity of the job-market through the Jobmind Coaching

The 4 sessions of Job-mind Coaching supported me in identifying my goals, personal- and career-related, while small steps necessary in order to achieve the long-term ambitions were introduced and discussed. All in all a very good opportunity for new-graduates to receive inspiration, guidance and some necessary tools to get prepared for the complex and challenging job-searching process.

My experience with ''Jobmind'' coaching

I was coached by Linda John in September 2014. These sessions have been the most helpful in comparison with others. The service was of high quality. I would recommend it to others.

Jobmind coaching

Jobmind coaching provided me with a valuable information. Firstly, sessions provided with some basic information on building CVs and Cover letters, also has put my emphasize on unsolicited resumes. It helped me to identify organizations where I can pick up my skills and previous experience.
Overall, Jobmind coaching is a good initiative in the beginning of the job search process and it is definitely useful tool for any graduate.

Jobmind coaching at Akademikernes with Linda John

The jobmind coaching sessions were extremely helpful and I enjoyed going to them a lot. The 1 on 1 style made it possible to get answers to any specific question I had. Linda John was a very competent, friendly and extremely motivating coach. I feel a lot more confident and positive about my job seeking now. I would recommend the 1 on 1 jobmind coaching to anyone looking for a job, as it significantly helped me to improve my job seeking skills.

Coaching sessions with Akademikernes

I participated in a 4 times 1 hour long individual course. My coach was Linda John, who is the best coach I can imagine. She is dedicated and it is obvious that she loves what she is doing. I am really satisfied with the service.

Good help for job seekers in Denmark

Unlike a lot of information that floats around on the internet from American sources and which is relevant mostly to the US job market, there is hardly any information available in Denmark for foreigners seeking jobs here. More sessions should be organized to reach out more job seekers. Also, information should be made accessible on social media.

The events opens the eyes of new-comers and give a broaden perspective of how to challenge!

I was lucky enough to participate in an event regarding job interview in CPH Language Center, with three perfect presentations and an awesome mock interview! As a new comer I have my own worries about how to act in Danish work realm. Morten Arendrup's tips and recommendations and especially at the end the sugar coated interview sample definitely will help me to feel more confident as if I am able to pass a mile in a minute. I should appreciate his consideration and patience to answer all the questions of every single job-seeker to the last one.

Professional counseling

I participated in a workshop where Morten C. Arendrup gave a lecture about How to ace a job interview Danish style. His lectur was more than useful! He gave a lot of concrete suggestions, tips while helping to realise our own ambition and fill us with inspiration. After the lesson many people from the audience wanted to ask questions from him and he was more than willing to help us. He's an outstanding consultant and an interviewer you would like to meet in an interview opportunity.

Helpful guidance for writing the application, and very informative workshops

I got good counselling on cv, application and constructive feedback on elevator pitch from Lars Thor, he was very helpful in preparing for one on one meetings with potential companies. Workshops dealing with international networking and jobsøgning by Karen lundby were very informative in giving a framework for preparing the follow-up process of approaching the companies and asking them the right questions.

Provide valuable learning opportunities

I have be part of Akademikernes for half year. Besides the dagpenge I receive every month to support me seeking for jobs, I have different resources to enrich my knowledge in job hunting in Denmark. That means a lot for a fresher to start a career in another country. Thus, in Akademikernes, I will highly suggest to attend workshops as well as personal meeting with consultants. The reason I gave four stars instead of five is, more English workshops and information will be more convenient and valuable for international members. Of course, I fully understand it's in Denmark, I also need to improve my danish level. :)

Dear Xiaoxiao Chen

Many thanks for the positive comment. And thanks for the remark on the use of (more) English. This is very relevant and something we discuss how to improve.

It was really a great evening for us in the a-kasse session hold by Morten Cavling Arendrup on 6th October at Kobenhaven Spørgcentre.

As we all know, the presentation and speech was very supportive and he helped us to find the pathways of different jobs in a professional manner. I gained valuable and practical information from Morten during the session. It also helped me to develop my network in Denmark and show me the ways to approach.
A huge thanks to Morten and a-kasse team.

I am happy with the quality of the a-kasse session held by Morten Cavling Arendrup last week also with his supportive and professional manner.

As I said above. I have gained valuable practical information and insights from Morten during the session regarding professional network development in Denmark and the way I should approach.
Also I am satisfied with the way he has been helpful, expert and supportive.

Helpful And Experienced Staff

I think Akademikernes is the best place where you can get professional advice regarding your competences, skills, mistakes you do on your CV/CL, or what you should say and avoid in an interview.
Many thanks to the staff, who was really helpful and concern enough to point me out how should I do the things right!
Knowledge and professionalism among employees is very high! Therefore, I have to say: People don't even think about it.. Sign in not because it it the cheapest place, but because you will choose the fastest way to escape the permanent unemployment situation ;)
