Help: Jobs in Stockholm/Sweden for english speakers

Hi Sue. Good luck in your adventure. My advice is to get up to speed as quickly as you can with the language. Pretty much everyone speaks English, but you have to work twice as hard to get into a role when competing head on with native speakers. So really REALLY try and get as much of a vocal grasp on the language as you can before you arrive. It's normal to be offered a "praktikplats" first. Especially if you have no employment history in Sweden. Usually it's for a 2 month period, and you basically work for free. It's a little exploitive, but employers can't take someone on trial unless there is a genuine prospect of a real job at the end of it. After the trial period, you are often offered an "anställningsprovning". This is a fixed term contract, again as a trial. But with a real salary this time. Usually it's for 6 months. Again, the employer would have to have a damned good reason not to hire you permanently after the trial period. So they can't just make use of you and then dump you.
