Editor's Notes
- The distance from north to south, is the same distance as from Malmö to Florence, Italy. Sweden is far from crowded. Statistically there are 20 inhabitants per square kilometre. And only 1 inhabitant per square kilometre in the northern Sweden. So we have a lot of space and nature. A lot of lakes, rivers, mountains and forests. The nature and climate differs a lot in the south compared to the north. Sweden is the third largest country in EU 25 and has 96 000 km coastline. 9.3 million inhabitants, 85% live in the southern parts. Sweden has been a member of EU since 1995. Average temperatures Malmö, January -0.2°C, July +16.8°C Stockholm, January -2.8°C, July +17.2°C Kiruna, January -16.0°C, July +12.8°C Daylight Malmö, January 7 hours, July 17 hours Stockholm, January 6 hours, July 18 hours Kiruna, January 0 hours, July 24 hours

- Our official language is Swedish. There are also a few recognized minority languages: Sami (Lapp), Finnish, Meänkieli Tornedalen Finnish), Yiddish and Romani Chib The Scandinavian languages are similar, so between Swedes, Norwegians and Danes, we can more or less understand each other when we speak our mother tounge. English is important in many professions. In surpluses it is difficult to find work even though you can speak Swedish. And in some shortages it can be okay to just speak English, but it is very much up to the employer.
- The most common contract is the permanent contract. It almost always starts with a probationary employment up to six months. Full time is the normal working time, but in some professions part time is common. For example in education, health care, child and elderly care. We have a minimum of 25 days vacation days per year. During the summer we have the right to have four weeks in a row. Public officers can get up to 35 vacation days per year. Overtime, vacation etc can be negotiated with the employer. Kollektivavtal - Dvs med undantag av en del högre tjänster – chefer, konsulter, IT mfl
- Do not send copies of qualifications and diplomas, if it is not expressed in the vacancy. Bring them with you to the interview. The experiences and trainings are presented in a reverse chronological order, starting with the most recent. Swedish applications are relatively not very formal – you could give some privat/personal information as hobbies, interests etc.
- Hsv = the Swedish National Agency for Higher Education The electricians’ vocational training is for safety reasons much regulated. You must not work as an electrician without a Swedish certificate issued by the authority ECY (Elektrikernas Centrala Yrkesnämnd).
