Hey guys,

I'm moving to Gothenburg in February 2015 to be with my boyfriend. I loved there for five weeks during the summer and found getting work was so difficult if you don't speak Swedish. I hear having contacts is the best way to get into anything, does any one have any advice or help that I can use to gain employment once im there? Also is there. Swedish learning course foreigners take? Thanks in advance!

Hey,

I replied to you on a different thread, but in short, best advice is to keep your head up, stick to SFI and SAS (and complete them) and then hopefully contacts and friends will come as you start spending more time here. Job opportunities can come if you're in the right place at the right time, but speaking Swedish is incredibly important.
