Thank you for creating this!

I just wanted to know if anyone could give me an accurate idea of how important it is to know Swedish when applying for companies in Sweden? For example, I know it is extremely important to know Spanish in Spain, maybe not as important to know German in Germany. I am looking at marketing roles, and I think the fact that it is a very customer-centric function may also cause a problem for international students?

Just wanted an opinion!

Just did a random Google search and found this article by Transferwise on jobs in Sweden. Don't want to pass any judgement based on one article but their first point to was to learn to speak Swedish if you are seriously looking for job opportunities in Sweden.

So how do you get started? This guide will walk you through 8 steps to follow for finding a job in Stockholm.

1. Speak the Swedish language
Swedish can be a difficult language to learn. While speaking the language may seem like a large hurdle, it's a necessary one. There are jobs in Stockholm for English speakers, but they’re few and far between. More importantly, even jobs that don’t require you to speak Swedish will give preference to candidates who know at least a little. If you’re serious about finding work in Stockholm, it’s a good idea to practice the language.

Hi,

It depends. if you work in IT then language is not a big issues but for business roles it might be. Big companies hire international students so that could be a good chance.
