We guide you on everything related to your growing career and first job in Denmark.

Maybe you just have a single question - or maybe you're totally high and dry and in doubt about what you really want . Either way, we're here for you.

A session takes up to 45 minutes.

You are welcome to get more than one session during your time at AAU. E.g., if you would like feedback on the changes you have made in your CV, or if you need to discuss new topics.

Examples of topics

• Knowledge of the Danish labour market
• Feedback on cover letter and CV adjusted for  Danish employers
• Good advice on LinkedIn, AAU Jobbank, and other digital platforms
• Guidance on project-oriented courses (internships) and student jobs in Denmark
• Knowledge of what types of jobs you can apply for
• Knowledge of what you as a new graduate can offer
• Answers to general questions about unemployment insurance funds and unions
• Help to identify your professional and personal skills

Prepare before the meeting

We always encourage you to prepare well before you get a career guidance session. On our website, you can find the answers to a lot of your questions - e.g. about internship, student job, CV, cover letter, work permit, and Danish culture.

The more you research and prepare, the more you will benefit from the session!

An individual career guidance session is a relaxed and confidential chat about the career and job search related questions that are present for you. Our goal is to help you on your way forward, and the conversation will give you an idea of ​​what your next step could be.

The career counsellors do not know your education and profile thoroughly - in that field you are the expert. But we know a lot of useful tools and methods, and we know a lot about the job market. Furthermore, we have talked to a lot of students, so we know what many students have succeeded doing.

We do not have any jobs or company contacts ready for you but we will help you find out where to look and what to do.

We can not necessarily give you clear answers or tell you exactly what to do - but we can:

• Be your sparring partner
• Help you see things from multiple sides
• Inspire yourself on how you can move forward on your own

Often it helps to talk to an neutral person who sees things from a different perspective. Many students become wiser about themselves and what they want during the conversation. Often you actually have the answers yourself!

We help you to be able to help yourself.

To book a career guidance appointment, you need to be a current student at Aalborg University.

Once you have finished your studies, we unfortunately can’t offer guidance at the university – in that case, you can e.g. talk to your unemployment insurance fund or trade union if you are member of these. They will be better equipped to help you with your specific situation.
