Hi, my partner and I and our 2 dogs are looking to move to Sweden preferably a rural area but not too far to commute, we're going to do the sensible thing and find work before hand. We are both British. I am 37 years old with 15 years supermarket retail experiance as a Deputy Manager. I am looking for retail work again and I'm currently learning Swedish which I hope will help. Are retail jobs easily available? How do Swedish take Brits when jobs are involved, as I've heard that the Finnish aren't as tolerant and are a bit discriminating with employing Brits :/

Would be very grateful for some help and advise,


Many thanks guys!!!

Hi Pixatron . a good advice from someone who live here , its to wait few years until the crisis will be over , because here its madness . abut ur kind of job , its so hard to find only with english , or swedish .....because almost all the bussiness here are owned by people non-europeans and if u dont speak their language in SWEDEN , or ur not young and beautiful , u will ended in black jobs working like on
orange plantation . Even on job center they are there too and they will send u away , because  ur name its not swedish or ur not swedish citizen ,or u have more qualification than others from here and u are too smart for them . abut the prices for rent something here , or to buy a house , clothes and food , are expensive . here if u buy a flat , u will continue to pay the rent for that ....maybe its funny but its true , that is the law . or if u will buy a house , u will pay almost 1000 euro taxes per year ......and a lot more things that sucks in north and this is the way of life here .
