Hi Good day! It depends if there is a company will accept you, base on my experience right now, I currently move here in Sweden a few months ago, right now I am studying Swedish Language. And also trying and continuing sending my resumes to other companies who will accept English speaking skills. Some of the company told me that my profile is good and my job experiences too but they want fluency in swedish Language. Right now I’m focusing to my swedish Language lesson.  In short, we need to learn their language first before you get a stable job. Thanks..
