Competencies? How to read the company profiles

Are you unsure whether your competencies suit your dream company? We have tried to make it easier for you to get an overview. In their profiles, the companies have marked which competencies they seek and/or are useful to the company, thus making it easier for you to get an idea about which companies match with your competencies. Competencies are divided into 10 headings and below you can see which competencies fall into the different groups. On the inner flap of the career fair book, you can quickly fill out your own competency card using these competencies. On page 22 you can get a little inspiration and see how Danish educations fit into the card. ART AND DESIGN

More than just offshore Mikkel Stephansen · Head of Recruitment and Administration, HR Maersk Oil

At Maersk Oil in Esbjerg there are a lot of career opportunities – also onshore. Most people know Maersk’s iconic white and blue starred logo. But what exactly do you do when you’re an employee at Maersk? And what profiles can apply for jobs at the world known shipping company? “A lot of people consider Maersk an offshore company but we have a lot of job positions that aren’t offshore. More than half our employees are suited on land and handle for example our purchases, safety, administration etc. We almost have every job function represented in the company”, Mikkel Stephansen (the Danish HR manager of Maersk Oil in Esbjerg) explains. “We have very good experience with involving the students in the company in relation to project assignments, internships and student jobs. We can almost find place for all fields of study – including international students. They often think that it is a problem that they don’t speak Danish but in fact it is a bigger problem if they don’t speak English,” explained Mikkel Stephansen from the Esbjerg-department, that is one of the 13 international Maersk Oil offices worldwide.

Job support Every year, many highly educated professionals move to Esbjerg Municipality to pursue new and exciting job opportunities in the energy industry. The municipality’s newcomer service coordinator helps their partners find their dream job or set up a new network. Every year 4000 newcomers move to Esbjerg Municipality – and the majority move because of a new job. For many people, a move requires some consideration, and all too often their other halves have to give up their job to do it. – We know that having a network and job is essential to a newcomer wanting to feel at home in a new city. The network comes with time, but it can be hard for the partner to find a new job without a network. That’s why Esbjerg Municipality has chosen to actively help with this phase, says Pia Enemark, coordinator for Esbjerg Municipality’s Newcomer service.

Help with dream job Because one party usually already has a job, the municipality calls this service “job support for partners”. – We provide individual advice and sparring during the job search process, such 8

as helping with job applications and CVs. We also use our own Business Development and Job Centre network to forward the partner’s CV and create new opportunities for him or her. And we also hold different trade and social events, where newcomers can talk to one another and forge new relationships, explains Pia.

Property search, network and choice of leisure clubs As well as the partner job scheme, the Newcomer service also helps with finding a place to live and provides individual advice on which sports clubs and leisure activities might be of interest. There are several networking activities and events, all with the aim of building bridges between newcomers and the local community.

High success rate Last year, around 100 partners made use of the partner job scheme – most of whom were jobseekers, while others searched for volunteer work or networks. And with great success. “There’s a big difference between how much a newcomer uses us, but most are surprised about how much help they can get. Many of the partners get a job off their own back – but for around 40 %, the partner job scheme makes a major difference when it comes to finding jobs, study, internships or voluntary work,” concludes Pia.

116.000 inhabitants

municipality’s main city with 72.000 inhabitants. It is a beacon of growth and opportunities in West Denmark.

EUROPE’S MOST

The Municipality also contains a number of charming villages and railway towns surrounded by world-class nature.

We call the essence of the qualities of our area

small town 1 2014

The charming city of Ribe is located South from Esbjerg. Ribe is Denmark’s oldest town and a cultural gem in the area. In 2014, it was elected as Europe’s most beautiful small town.

EnergyMetropolis Esbjerg – inspired by the energy and drive, which have always characterised the population in Esbjerg as well as Esbjerg’s position as Denmark’s unchallenged offshore capital with 13.500 employees in local energy companies.

In the northern part of the port of Esbjerg an important urban development project is being realized. It’s called Esbjerg Strand meaning “Esbjerg Beach”. The vision is to create an attractive urban area with a marina with restaurants, cafes and shops, recreational maritime functions, green areas, swimming facilities, headquarters for port-related companies and private and public services. The first phase of the project has been realized, and once finished the new area will give citizens and tourists better access to one of our main attractions: The sea.

The Wadden Sea is Denmark’s largest National park and appointed World Heritage by UNESCO. With a rebuilding and extension of the Wadden Sea Centre unique exhibition and communication facilities are available. The architecture is sustainable, visionary and bold and brings forth the Centre as an didactic information centre of the future. 75% of all Danish-produced wind turbines are shipped through the Port of Esbjerg. The Port of Esbjerg has always been the key point of Esbjerg’s business. It has evolved from Denmark’s largest fishing port in the 60’s to the leading embarkation and service port for offshore installations in the North Sea.

In EnergyMetropolis Esbjerg, you have the possibility to play and experience sport at elite level. EFB has a tradition of playing in the country’s best soccer series, and it has together with Blue Water Arena one of the best stadiums in Denmark. Esbjerg Energy can be experienced in the Metal League, which is Denmark’s best ice hockey league. Team Esbjerg is the best handball team in the Danish women’s league, while Ribe Esbjerg team plays in the most prestigious men’s league. Esbjerg Motorsport is also at the top of the Danish speedway league. 11

DANISH WORKPLACE CULTURE

The Danish work culture is usually ranked among expats as one of the most positive aspects of living in Denmark. But what is it that makes it so attractive? Working conditions in Denmark are generally good, the atmosphere is casual and relaxed, and foreigners often enjoy more flexibility and independence at work than they would in their home countries. Add to that state-of-the-art equipment and modern workplaces and the Danish workplace couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more appealing. Informal working environment The Danish workplace offers an informal atmosphere where everyone, regardless of their title, is encouraged to voice their ideas, participate in professional discussions and get involved in the decision-making process. It is expected that you are outgoing and productive at work. 13

The working culture in Denmark is generally laid-back and open, and communication is direct and flows freely. A good sense of humour is also highly appreciated in social conventions in Denmark, especially when it contains some irony.

Adjustable working hours and autonomy Employees in Denmark are generally granted a fair degree of flexibility; for instance, timetables are not typically tight as long as deadlines are met, and workers are entitled to distribute their work load according to their individual needs. Such a high level of autonomy has a very positive effect on employees since it redduces stress and encourages innovation. This ultimately motivates them to become more committed to their jobs which leads to better performance.

Lots of informal meetings Many foreigners are surprised by how many preplanned and informal meetings Danes hold at the workplace. Danes have a great love of coffee and it is not unusual to run across a colleague by the coffee machine, and talk about current tasks and projects while drinking coffee. At preplanned meetings employees are expected to show commitment and take part in the discussions. Managers expect and appreciate that their employees contribute with their professional opinion so that they arrive at the best solution.

Socialising at the workplace Danes are very family oriented, which explains why it is a bit unusual for Danes to hang out with their colleagues after work. However, social events at the workplace is very common in Denmark. Most companies have a set calendar of social activities, which are always planned well 14

in advance. Such events might be summer outings, culturally oriented events, cake on Fridays, or the always popular annual Christmas party (“julefrokost” in Danish), which can take place as early as November! These activities are voluntary, but almost everyone takes part in them. For newcomers to Denmark, participation in the office’s social events is a good way of getting to know their colleagues better and integrating into their new work environment.

Danish as a social working tool Almost everyone in Denmark is fluent in English, which is quickly becoming the corporate language at many of the larger Danish firms. Yet, small-talk and conversation during the lunch breaks is still often carried out in Danish. For that reason, learning Danish helps foreigners feel integrated in the workplace. Danes feel proud when foreign colleagues are willing to learn Danish and appreciate their effort. In Denmark foreigners can enrol in Danish language courses for free.
