If your career path has led you to Sweden, you might be interested in a new website catering to expats with no fluency in the native language.

“JobsinStockholm is the first website of its kind in Sweden focusing on job opportunities with English as the main working language together, and with special collaborative features. Contrary to what the name might suggest, we also cover some jobs outside the capital. However, Stockholm stays the heart of the Swedish expatriate community.”

Started by an American expat who upon arriving in Sweden found it difficult locating the right positions, it employs the latest interactive Web 2.0 tools allowing job seekers to mingle and solicit opinions on various employers.

As the global network continues to grow, more and more international jobs exist in Sweden, further impressing the founder of the site with the need to cater to the English only speakers coming to Sweden.

“There are two main trends which have convinced us that there was a need for yet another job portal. Firstly, with more and more companies switching to English as their main working language, a growing number of international jobs exist in Stockholm. Secondly there is a significant change in the user behavior of people looking for jobs on the Internet.

People change jobs much faster and are ready to move internationally on short notice if the right opportunity is presented.

The biggest difference is however, that job seekers increasingly use the Internet in smart and new ways to find and evaluate their future employer before even applying. In this respect the job ad as such becomes one, but not the only reference for a job seeker.”
