Work in Denmark

"Denmark needs foreign knowledge workers to contribute new expertise and thereby strengthen trade and industry, innovation and research in Denmark." To help attract these professionals to Denmark, the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation has created this website with all kinds of information on living and working here. You also have easy access to several jobsites with lists of excellent opportunities. I reviewed the English version of the site.

Finland

The Employment Office, Finland (was the Ministry of Labour)

Operated by the Finnish government this site is a good starting place for job search in Finland. Try the search engine "Avoimet tyopaikat" with categories and keywords. This site includes listings of thousands of job opportunities all over Finland and links to job openings in Scandinavia and rest of Europe. The website is currently being updated due to the fact that the Ministry of Labour was merged into the Ministry of Employment and the Economy. The English language pages should be ready "in the spring". (January 23, 2008)
