Jobs for an American in Denmark?
Hey,
So my family is from Denmark and I'm planning on visiting them in Odense and Copenhagen this summer, probably around mid-July. Ideally, I'd like to stay 4-6 months. What kind of jobs can I take to support myself? Do i need a work visa? What's the process like to earn a TEFOL? Any ideas?
Background:
I'll have earned a BA in Journalism by then
I have experience with political and community organizing.
I have experience hostessing in a restaurant.
My Danish language skills are limited, but I know I'll pick it up quickly.
Thanks,
Britte

Unless you have danish citizenship, you will need to have a work visa. You are not likely to get one unless:
1. You are a student in Denmark and you get a work visa to go along with it
2. You can do a job that no other person in Denmark can do.
They are very VERY strict about who they give work permits to. My advice is to maybe try to get a job at a paper and see if you can work abroad and do a story about Denmark and your travels. Otherwise I don't really think you'll be able to get a worker's permit, but you are welcome to try. By the way, you will also have to get a travel visa since you are staying more than 3 months. Be sure to apply at least 3 months in advance.
