Heading

The heading may or may not require your photo, depending on the company you’re applying for. However, most companies prefer that they see a professional photo of their applicant. This section should also reflect your name in relatively bigger fonts. Below your name, write a brief professional profile, or a summary of your competencies and career objective in around 5 to 6 sentences. This is very important to Danish employers because they would want to know how you see yourself as a qualified applicant based on your past experiences, qualities, and competitive advantage over other applicants. 

Personal Information

This section would require you to put your contact information, your nationality, your age, and your gender. We know that Denmark promotes gender equality, so putting your gender in your CV is definitely not to discriminate, but rather to know you better as a candidate.

Professional Experience / Work History

It is important that you present in details your past experiences. In this section, write in chronological order all the relevant work experiences that you’ve been into. You may also want to include a brief description of the job you participated in and the length of time you did it for the company.

Educational Background & Trainings Attended

Include in this section in chronological order, your educational qualifications. You don’t have to write your entire educational history, instead, including those that may be relevant, like a college or master’s degree.

Skills

If you have specific technical skills that you want to highlight, include it in this section. Your employer has to know if you have any ability that will serve as your competitive advantage over the other applicants on their list. Across the skill you are listing, you may also try to rate yourself on how much you are an expert in the said skill, this will give your employer an idea if you’re indeed an expert, or you are just starting to learn and are willing to be trained more.
