My CV Isn't Working in Denmark

I'm Greg McQueen, a writer who has lived in Denmark for over 20 years.

I'm writing a no-bullshit book about reinventing yourself in Denmark.

I've met lawyers who've had to become cleaners or work in customer support. I've spoken with developers, engineers, and even journalists who had thriving careers before they moved to Denmark. And I've studied alongside other internationals who struggled to find work after learning the language and landing their degree.

I've also seen parents like myself, happy to see your kids thrive while struggling yourself.

Internationals get treated as second-class citizens.

You're often ignored and over-looked in the job market, facing daily problems that most Danes don't see.

Building a life here means reinventing yourself.

If you've had to reinvent yourself, or are in the middle of it right now, I'd like to hear your story. I'm gathering these experiences for my latest book to show what reinvention really looks like in Denmark, and what we can learn from it.
