Career Searching

It has been quite a colossal task to organize all of the content I accumulated during my time in Copenhagen. Most of you probably know that Copenhagen is hands-down my favorite city to travel to, and if you have been following along then you know I am currently in the process of obtaining a Danish Green Card which will allow me to reside, search for work, and work in Denmark once the green card is issued. I am essentially doubling down on Copenhagen with my decision to live and work there because I have been searching for career opportunities in the region and making a major move like this is simply a leap-of-faith. However, Copenhagen offers an unparalleled venue for a young architect to begin a career, grow, develop, learn and be immersed in a culture of architectural creativity, innovation, and sustainability, among other factors.

Once again, priority of visiting all of the cities is to inquire with the architecture firms about possible career opportunities, and to make contacts with the HR personnel or those who make hiring decisions. I did have a chance to talk to several of the offices' personnel who I exchanged business cards with, obtained very important information regarding my options for obtaining a green card, and maybe most importantly some of the front-office personnel were able to hear a little bit of my unique story which should help them recall who I am when I send followup correspondences regarding green card status, residency and legal hiring date. The following list includes the offices that I sought out for career opportunities and all of them are a great match regarding my software knowledge, digital fabrication interests, ambitious design and creativity, and environmental stewardship.

Church of Our Saviour

With the employment items covered, now it's time to start going through the vast amount of content and beginning with one of the best views in Copenhagen, the Church of Our Saviour, located in Christianshavn. At the top of the church is an exterior spiraling staircase, that for the price of about $5.00, you are able to access and ascend through the bell tower and up the spire. As spectacular and iconic as the church is on the exterior, the church's interior is also very picturesque with the adornment of very ornate statues and intricately carved woodwork. So without further ado, I give you Copenhagen!
