I fully agree that network and insiders are the best ways of getting a position we want... And that is precisely the reason why i am confident about moving to Greenland , where i have my friend Alex Olsen 😋
Thank you for all the videos! I seem to grow more and more attracted to this country. I am from Romania. This year, I am getting a degree in food chemistry (i will be a chemical engineer). I am also fluent in English but I don't know any Danish or Greenlandic, of course. My question is, do you think there would be any interest in companies there hiring someone like me? I've heard that Greenland is making efforts to source more products locally (such as potatoes) and i was thinking that maybe I could research into that more while I'm doing my masters degree. Also, do you think that someone can survive for the time being in Greenland only with English, and learn the local language over time? Thank you in advance :)
I noticed you mentioned construction as one of the major job sectors. I was already planning on going to a trade job where I am already and I'd imagine alot of those go into that sector. I realize it's probably not your field of expertise, but would you happen to know what trades tend to do best in that sector and/or where I could find that information if you don't know?
How did Google even suggested the Finnish language? :-O I can confirm that Finnish language is no way related either to Greenlandic nor Danish... That being said, thank you for this video although I am not seeking a job from Finland not to mention from Greenland. I probably would love to live as a free man on the land in Greenland though - but not to work for someone as a paid slave.
Hey I’m from eastern europe, thinking of where I can go, and Greenland has become quite an appealing option. The only thing that I’ve noticed which would be a major problem is language… so I ask this: is knowing Greenlandic/Danish a mandatory pre-requisite; there aren’t any sources on Greenlandic on the internet that I’ve been able to find, there’s a good amount on Danish. Would just danish be enough to enter the country or would even english be enough to get in, and then learn the languages there? sorry that was a bit long lol
Hi Simon, if you can speak greenlandic, danish or english that would be fine in a town like Nuuk. It all depends on the type of job you would take. Nuuk is becoming a pretty good town for either three languages mentioned. But of course speaking Greenlandic would be ideal and second best danish. Hope that helped😁
@@AlexAmasaOlsen It did, it did :). I'm just on the worried side because I did some job searches and it seemed as though all of them required danish, greenlandic, or even both! Should there be something with which I can get in just knowing english, that'd be ideal!
@@Porasion All companies write their ideal candidate, you can always ask and explain how you could perform the role, well knowing their ideal candidate spoke greenlandic or danish.
@@AlexAmasaOlsen I see. Thanks for the tip! Tbf though all that stuff is still in the future I still need to finish uni lol. Greenlandic will definitely remain a destination on my radar though.
I’m training in legal - I don’t speak danish or Greenland language- I wonder is the world of barristers/solicitors and lawyers as competitive here as elsewhere 😄
If you are a lawyer, or any bachekor degree or above, getting a job is not that difficult. And if you are a tradesman, it is easy to get work as well. They just started a fast track program, for foreigners who get a job in Greenland, work permits come automatically as long as you have secured the job.
Are there a lot of expats in Greenland? What are the chances of a psychologist speaking English, German, Swiss German, and Turkish? (I am definately open for other jobs as well and am always down to learn another language!)
Hello dear Alex. I want ask u. Where i can find english speaking Guy Jobb in greenland , or Norsk ,dansk ? I am from norway can work hier without problems but can't find Jobb . Thank you for answer.
I live in sri lanka. No more living here because of the misrule of the rulers. Tells me exactly how to get a greenland work permit and how to get there
Good morning Sir Alex,may i ask something? How can i apply in Greenland ,I am from the Philippines.Im a chef here in my country..Please help me. Thank you very much
You find a job first at a company or job agent😁 And when you have a job, you can either go through a recent fast track scheme or apply for work permit. Good luck finding a job!
Not machine shops, but welders and auto repair shops do some machine work. But we dont have production of lets say metal beams etc. Thats what you mean?
Hi Alex, A good day, This is Ganesh from Singapore, I am currently working in Singapore construction sector, Is there possible way to grab the job in Greenland?
It should be possible, the only obstacle would be a language barrier, as all construction is done in greenlandic and danish. Depends if you only do dimensioning or if you also act as a projectmanager with contacts to clients and builders
@@AlexAmasaOlsen Hi Alex, A good day, 1) How its better and easy to learn the Greenlandic or Danish ? 2) When to start to learn, once get the job or compulsory to learn ? 3) Is there any exams need to clear for those languages?
@@ganeshkumar-eg7ke 1) I would say danish, as it is kinda like english and built up the same way, greenlandic as a language is built up differently. 2) It depends on your employer, if you can make it without speaking either languages and the type of job. If you were a public speaker, having to speak greenlandic, it would be very compulsory ;-) 3) Not that I am aware of..
We do have jobs like that at Air Greenland. I have some friends working there, but lately there has been some firing due to layoffs... But thats pretty much the only place that has airline/helicopter mechanics
I have linked some jobsites in this video description, see if you can find a job that way. Currently companies can fasttrack workers from other countries and im sure any construction company could need an electrician😎 Find the job first and tell them your situation
I would say so.. I have a video explaining how to get a job in greenland, you might wanna watch that. But be aware the most common language spoken in the workforce i greenlandic and danish, the are only english speakers, but usually companies prefer you speak greenlandic or danish.😁
I’m Italian and for COVID reason I lose my work and now I need any kind of work to go on ant take care of my family any work I’m ready for it if you can help I will appreciate that a lot for you thanks a lot
Immannguaraq.. Not quite, but maybe my work will give me a course. I used to understand more when I lived in Sisimiut for 9 years, but here in Nuuk, its very danish and becoming more international
@@AlexAmasaOlsen Thats Awesome! I live in a Region called Yorkshire in the UK and we were ruled by Danish Vikings in the past. We still use some old norse words in our dialect and there is a festival where everyone dresses as vikings and gets drunk. Lol
@@fusixnrwicnwiejciwj8925 Didnt know the vikings once were there, but makes sense.. :-) Sounds like a fun festival, hopefully nobody starts sword fights, as in the real old viking parties.! :-)
Hehe, I currently work in the public sector, so I guess it is having double standards when saying there should be more private jobs. But I think we in Greenland need more private jobs, which gets money from outside of Greenland, like tourism, industry and mining.😊
thanks for the tips, Alex!
I'm suddenly a lot more open to moving there thanks to your videos
I fully agree that network and insiders are the best ways of getting a position we want... And that is precisely the reason why i am confident about moving to Greenland , where i have my friend Alex Olsen 😋
Thanks Alex for another instructive vid..excellent explanation ..yr on Summer time Daylight saving from Last Saturday I see..clocks fwd one hour

Yes, we do the summer time daylight. But some talk about dropping that in the future.

love you please put more important job sites around globe and famous ones also in greenland
I have put the jobsites in the description of a video😊
How realistic is it to get a job in tourism without speaking Danish or Greenlandic? Is English and Swedish/Norwegian sufficient?
I would say being able to speak atleast Greenlandic or danish would be the best...
But never hurts to ask the companies.😎
Thank you your video thankful 👍🏿
