How do I book a meeting at Jobcenter Copenhagen?

Most of the meetings with the Jobcenter are booked by you at Jobnet.dk. When it is time to book your next meeting, you will get a deadline that you can see on "My Page" (Min side) on Jobnet.

Remember to still check Jobnet at least once a week as the SMS can faulter occasionally and it is your responsibility to keep up to date with your appointments and duties at the Jobcenter.

Remember: It is important that you meet your deadline for booking a meeting.

If you do not book a meeting before the deadline expires, you will automatically be unregistered as unemployed at Jobnet and may lose your unemployment benefit funds.
