Three tips for starting your career while you study
- Businesses in Horsens are doers, unafraid to make decisions and try out new collaborations. So you don’t always need a posted vacancy before you can apply for a job at the Horsens company of your dreams. Give them a call or send them your pitch about why YOU are the right match – and remember to focus on the difference you can make for them.
- Contact match-maker Casper Johansen from Business Horsens. He is in touch with many different companies and industries in the area and knows just what (and who) they need.
- Don't be afraid to give it a shot. You may not start off in your dream position, but remember that Horsens is an old working-class city, and we still value hard work and perseverance. Such a spirit is rewarded, and who knows – maybe your student job will develop into your dream career?

Begin by checking out these places and don't be afraid to reach out and invite yourself to a cup of coffee. The start-up community in Horsens is probably the nicest in the country.
