Generally about Scandinavian employers 
Scandinavian employers are perceived to be safe and stable, and often offer a work environment where employees are respected and themselves can participate and influence their workplaces and working conditions.

For Swedish employers, well-being is important. Therefore, regular employee meetings, coffee breaks and also privacy are important details. The Labor Union is also very strong and this means that working hours, rest periods after duties and holidays are kept according to written regulations. Competence development is also a heavy point that many focus on.

All in all, if you have an employment with a Swedish employer, your private and work life will end up in balance. You will have more time for family, friends and your hobbies.

To think of
When you fill in the CV template we have submitted to you, it is important that you fill it in as carefully, detailed and honestly as possible. This is what your future employer will first see about you and in some cases, make decisions based on it.
Once you have signed the work offer that your future Scandinavian employer has sent to you, the language training will start. It is very important that you have full focus on the language course for your future work. Sweden also requires certificates on C1 level according to GERS and it is important that you reach that level before you start working full-time.
