It\u2019s not easy. Finding a job. Trying to enter the workforce after studying, after unemployment, after a child, it doesn\u2019t matter, it can be a shock to the system. Especially if you\u2019re moving to a new country. Especially if you don\u2019t speak the language. That being said, it is doable. It\u2019s hard work, but it is doable.<\/p>\n
The following is by no means the only way to find a job, it is not meant to even be a guarantee at finding a job. It\u2019s a start. And when you\u2019re moving to a new country, just knowing where to start can be huge.<\/p>\n
Pay attention to all that job hunting advice. Especially the stuff that tells you to treat your job search as a job in and of itself. Sit down, search, write, contact, polish. It will help. Remember that not speaking the language is a problem, remember also though that whatever language you do speak natively is not. In fact, it may be what sets you apart from others. This isn\u2019t a pick-me-up post though about life lessons, so without further ado, a few suggestions followed by a few concrete places to search.<\/p>\n
Use every media source available to you. The internet, newspapers, Facebook Twitter, LinkedIn. Everything that might lead you to a contact is worth exploring. Of course, I used a whole lot of online sources.<\/p>\n
The following is quite simply just a list of places to start: You might recognize a few of the above. A couple (DN and SVD) are the big newspapers in Sweden. Monster and Manpower are pretty international. Some you might not recognize, Workey for example. Some have English options, others don\u2019t. A tip for those of you who are still learning Swedish. Find the search bar and type in \u201cEnglish.\u201d All the job announcements that want you to speak English will pop up, usually in English. I\u2019ll be honest, I haven\u2019t tried this with other languages, but give it a shot with your language. Use those skills that you have. Language skills count. Find jobs that seem interesting and that you are qualified for and go for it.<\/p>\n
