CA, AJKS and Akademikernes A-kasse
You will automatically be invited for your first meeting at the Jobcenter. This typically happens shortly after your CV-meeting with your unemployment insurance fund (A-kasse).
Read more about content and preparation for the first meeting on this page.
Topics covered at the meeting:
1. Are you looking for jobs broadly on a geographical and professional scope?
There are many advantages by applying for jobs on broad geographical and professional scale. Outside the metropolitan area there is less competition for the good positions, and if you are looking outside your primary field of expertise, you can discover new potentials in your job search.
2. What is a good strategy?
During your meetings at the Jobcenter you will get sparring on your job search strategy and hear what other candidates have done to get a job quickly. This can include an internship, unsolicited applications, a targeted CV, networking and assessing the job market.
3. Enrolment Registration business-oriented course (activation)
If the job pending, you will have to start in a business-oriented course — also called activation (aktivering). We will clarify the details during the first meeting at the Jobcenter, but you should expect to start the course after 3-6 months of unemployment.
Prepare your Jobnet profile
To get the most of your meeting, it is important that you have prepared the following topics prior to the first meeting at the Jobcenter.
- Upload 1-2 jobs in your joblog, that you are going to apply for
During the meeting you will make an agreement with the consultant on 1-2 jobs, that you will apply for within the foreseeable future. If you have any jobs that you going to apply for, it is important that you register them in the joblog before the meeting. Remember these jobs must illustrate that you are applying for jobs broadly both on a professional and geographical scale.
- Register your professional profile (Faglig profil) and professional qualifications (Faglig kvalifikationer) on Jobnet
Based on the information you have registered, you can be matched to a potential job, an internship (virksomhedspraktik), or a wage subsidy (løntilskudsansættelse).
- Add at least three job titles under "I am applying for job as" (Jeg søger job som)
It is important that you from the very beginning spread out your job search. At least one of the job titles should therefore be a title in which there is no requirement for an academic background. Make sure the job postings are realistic.

Expand all
Update email and telephone number
You may experience being contacted on short notice and therefore it is important that your information is up to date. Remember that the Jobcenter are calling from an unknown number.
Register upcoming vacation or other form of absence
During your unemployment period, you must attend a job search course or an internship. The details will typically be agreed upon during your first meeting at the Jobcenter. If you have planned holidays or other absences, it is therefore important to register it in Jobnet before the meeting.
Register for SMS service and Nem-SMS
It is a good idea to register for SMS service on Jobnet, so that you will receive an SMS, when there is new information on Jobnet. Make sure that you are also signed up for Nem-SMS on Borger.dk, so Jobnet can send you messages.
Remember: Always check jobnet at least once a week as you may find that you don't get an SMS about everything. It is your responsibility to stay up to date with your Jobnet page.
Your unemployment insurance fund may attend
A consultant from your unemployment insurance fund can attend the first meeting at the Jobcenter to provide additional sparring on your job search. If you do not wish attendance from you unemployment insurance fund, you must simply notify your unemployment insurance fund, Jobnet or Jobcenter.
