Student needs advive.

You are correct in your research. The best way to get a job here in Sweden is to know somebody. Personal networking is extremely important.

There are many immigrants here who speak excellent Swedish who have been here for countless years without a proper job, just endless unpaid internships (praktiks).

Student loans are for Swedish citizens. If you want more information on the student loans, contact www.csn.se

I have been in Sweden for just more than three years, and I had my first job interview last week! That came about by A LOT of relentless networking.

Best of luck, it can be tough, but it is not impossible.

I agree. It is definitely who you know, not what you know.

Last time I lived here, I couldn't even get an interview, let alone a job - despite 20 years experience in my profession.

This time around, I work as a freelance writer, so job solved. If you can work do your work from home, or can think of your own business venture, then you may be successful. The Swedish job market is a notoriously hard nut to crack
