Only just seen this, but thanks. I have a fair bit of Bar experience but don't really want to go back to it (not putting it down, but I can resist anything but temptation), though I may use it to top up income and also improve language skills. I'm going to be over fairly regularly visiting my GF so maybe some "networking" is the way forwards. Just joining RCC for the bike hire, important things first.

My boyfriend @IdealStandard moved here to study two years ago (he works at Kalaset! Used to work at WarPigs - might have been the Fratelli's that put him off), and I came out to join him a year ago. I don't speak Danish, but I've got a job as a copywriter at an agency that works mainly in English. Before this job, I was working as a trainee mechanic in a bike shop, and also at a cafe where I spoke English, and started picking up a bit of Danish.
Not sure what kind of work you're looking for, but service/retail jobs are pretty easy to come by as a non-Danish speaker – handing out CVs/getting an intro is pretty much the only way to get in. If you're looking for something else, most companies use LinkedIn. But then there are a few specific sites for things, like architecture-specific listing etc... There are a few sites for start up and UX stuff too.. I think http://danskdynamit.com/ had a few bits too...
On a side note, I find that people are v open to random networking here.. I had a few random coffee meetings with people who worked for orgs that I wanted to squeeze my way into, and they'd always give a good hour of their time. It lead to a bit of freelance work when I first got here, until I found my current job on LinkedIn...
Anyway, hope this helps. Good luck!
