Job titles in Denmark #workindenmark #workingindenmark #danishculture #denmark #denmarkvlog

The How to Work in Denmark audiobook is now available, and in chapter 1 we talk about job titles in Denmark. One of the most important words in contemporary Danish is ligestilling— equality— and fancy job titles really don't fit into that passion for equality. Now make no mistake, there is a hierarchy in Denmark, but it's less visible than it is in many other places. Because it's kind of embarrassing to want to be better than other people or more powerful than other people. So when confident Danish business people get together, they don't talk about job titles. They talk about projects or maybe some of their new products or maybe a big sale they just made. Job titles are pretty low on the menu. Job titles are simply less important in Denmark than they are in many other working cultures.
