"The Young Professionals in Denmark programme was great in giving me ideas on how to showcase who I am in the CV and cover letter, how to write the applications, and what to focus on from the job ad, etc. More importantly, for me, the programme gave me a holistic view on job search. E.g., how to network and about the working culture in Denmark."
