If you\\u2019ve been asked for a job interview at a Danish company, congratulations. Danish companies don\\u2019t like to waste time, so they wouldn\\u2019t be setting aside time to meet you if they didn\\u2019t think there was a solid chance they might hire you.

Job interviewing in Denmark is a difficult balance, because the Jantelov makes all forms of bragging or self-promotion distasteful to the Danes. You\\u2019ve got to convince the person interviewing you that you\\u2019re skilled and capable without sounding like a used car salesman.
