New members of the Sweden forum, introduce yourself here — 2017
Thank you ☺
Planning to move, or at least try out Sweden.
Heard a lot of good things about the place, but ultimately wanting to see where this thing might go with a certain...someone.
Thing is, coming from the PH is quite difficult in terms of socioeconomic challenges/limitations, and just the processes and agencies one has to deal with.
Would anyone be able to give me a lead on a good way to, maybe land a job or an au pair program of some sort?
Just need to make my way there first and foremost, then figure it out from there.
I'm 25, working as an instructional designer/English instructor at the moment. Lived in the UK when I was 3 until 15~

I can highly recommend Agneta from Human Resource. She organized all our immigration paperworks, Swedish ID, bank account opening, utilities and even accomodation.
Goodluck!

I am moving to Akarp near Malmo in a few months time and will be looking for jobs within the interior design industry (which is what I currently do in London).

I am moving to Stockholm in January. I'd love any advise on finding a job before I move. I have experience as a nanny, waitress, and in fitness management. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Nice to hear you are coming here. Where are you from? Stockholm is a nice place but houses are expensive. A room in an apartment cost 4000kr per month and you will still have to pay one or two months guarantee. As for jobs, fitness management will be a good try otherwise you could try a step in job like school fritids ledare (school free time activities leader) or something like students assistance which is very easy to get a job with. After then which you may search for for your dream job. It will be a nice experience for you I hope

My name is Katie, and I am a PhD Student at Chalmers, living in Gothenburg. I'm born and raised in Canada, and for the past 3.5 years lived in the USA (Houston and Ohio).
I will be here for approximately 4 years, and I am hoping to jump right into Swedish life. I know it will take some time to adjust, but I am very happy to be here.
I am always up for meeting expats and exploring the city.

My name is Izabela and I am a young, positive and talkative woman from Slovakia trying my luck in Sweden - Gothenburg. One can call it a "love migration", but honestly if the country would not be close to my hard from the start, I would never even consider this option.
I would love to work in administrative or human resources area which interests me the most and from which I already have previous experiences and university studies.
While adapting on life in new and different (and beautiful!) country and learning language I am trying to also build my network and meet as many people as possible to avoid any loneliness because, you know, winter is coming

Lets have some fika in the city!
I'm getting married to a sweedish girl. I'd like to know how will the immigration work once I'm married and decide to move to seeedan

I love traveling and hanging out with friends. I like to do outing as much as possible. I love to observe people and know more about them. In my free time, I like to take a long walk, cook and watch comedy series. I love adventure.
I will be starting my new career in Stockholm and would welcome to hear any advice for a new professional.
