Resume template for Denmark: the Danish CV, section by section

Henrietta is a single-column Inter layout with a left-aligned name, close to what Aalborg University's CV guidance asks for (one column, left alignment, a font without serifs). It prints the profile, experience and education first, then a three-column skills grid, with the About me list last.

Second choice: Leslie. Leslie prints experience before skills too but places skills above education, and adds a centred blue header if you want one touch of colour.

Henrietta template details and test results

Henrietta prints its sections in a fixed order, the same in the PDF and the Word file. Here is that order for this sample, and what to put in each section.

1. Professional Summary. Workindenmark places the personal profile at the top, typically 4 to 8 lines, built on the three competences that match the job; Aarhus University suggests 5 to 7 lines. Open with your degree and hard skills, not with career goals, and rewrite it for every application.
2. Work Experience. Workindenmark asks for results, with numbers where possible, and warns that companies abroad may be unknown in Denmark: say what the firm makes, how big it is and where it is based. The first bullet under the sample's German employer does exactly that.
3. Education. Degree, field, school and dates, plus the bachelor project if it relates to the job. Aarhus University says a recent graduate can move education above experience; Henrietta places it straight after the jobs, the highest any of these templates puts it.
4. Skills. Aarhus University calls it standard practice to state language proficiency and IT skills. Henrietta shows skill groups in unlabelled columns, so keep three groups (planning methods, systems, languages) and each one fills a column.
5. About me. Workindenmark says it is normal to mention your age, whether you are married and have children, and what you do in your spare time, perhaps under "About me" at the end. It stays optional, and Aarhus University advises leaving out things like where you grew up or your partner's job.

• Sending the same profile to every employer; Danish recruiters expect it to be adapted to each job.
• Naming a foreign employer and nothing more, leaving the reader to guess what it makes or how big it is.
• Details Aarhus University suggests leaving out, such as where you grew up or what your partner does for a living.

We exported this sample with Resumity's PDF exporter in Chrome on 2026-10-29 and read the file back with three open-source text extractors. This shows whether software that turns a PDF into text can recover it; it is not a test of any commercial applicant tracking system. How we test templates.
