A job won't find you. You will need to find the opportunity yourself - let us try to explain how
Sweden is quite an informal country. Applying for a job at a Swedish company is therefore quite informal as well. You might already have a resume or a CV, Curriculum Vitae, with an overview of your studies, experience, skills and overall achievements. Try to keep it short, no more than two pages, and make sure to put contact information on top of the first page.
A Swedish company also wants to get to know the person behind the CV, therefore you should include a cover letter. This is your opportunity to communicate what kind of person you are and why you are the best suited applicant for the job and how you will match your colleagues. Do not hesitate to ask a Swedish person for help or advice when it comes to creating a cover letter and CV the Swedish way. There is also always a person in charge of the recruitment process who is available to answer any questions concerning the job or application process.
When you have sent in all the documents requested in the job ad, it is a good idea to follow up by making a phone call to the company in question. Be prepared with a relevant question to ask when making the call. You want to show initiative and not just make small talk.
Hopefully you will be asked to attend a physical or digital interview.
Never underestimate the power of networking. Try to attend events and job fairs arranged by science parks, local business associations and universities.
LinkedIn networking is always a good idea, in Sweden we really like digital opportunities and friends.
