For Denmark, we do not need to do linguistic analysis yet.

step 8.
If the employer and you as a candidate say yes to each other’s offer, you sign the agreements and the Swedish language course can start and last for about 7 months. You as a candidate are entitled to receive money for the time you study, as the course is very intensive and you will not be able to work during the course.

During the language course, we will help you with all the necessary preparations to make as smooth relocation to the new country as possible. We inform you about the documents you need to collect for your Swedish license to practice and registration in Sweden, we help you find an accommodation, help your children to a kindergarten / school place, and we also guide your partner to finding a job. Of course, we will accompany you to the tax office to register and apply for a Swedish social security number and inform you of the Swedish authorities as well.

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.

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 written on 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 education 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.
