This episode:

"The job ad is in English, but it asks for Danish... what do I do?" In Episode 24 of Job Search Secrets, Diana Lund Nordstrøm breaks down the "Golden Rule" of application languages. Many internationals find it frustrating when a company posts in English but insists on Danish fluency, or they wonder if they can submit an English CV for a Danish-language posting.

Diana explains the strategy behind these postings and debunks the myth that "every Dane is perfectly comfortable working in English." Drawing from her experience as a supervisor, she shares a cautionary tale of what happens when a hire isn't comfortable in both languages and how companies use their job ads to "weed out" those who aren't ready for the task.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

The Language Matching Rule: Why you should (almost) always mirror the language of the job ad.

The Hidden Strategy: Why Danish companies post in English even when they require Danish skills.

The "Fluent Dane" Myth: Why assuming everyone in Denmark wants to work in English is a mistake.

The Bold Move: How to reach out to a hiring manager if you are a 95% match but lack the required Danish level.

Practical Tips: When to start a conversation in Danish and when to switch to English to show your effort.

Don't let a language requirement stop you from applying for your dream role—learn how to handle it strategically!
