Hi all!
I would like to ask your help on job opportunities in Sweden for immigrants.
Im from the Philippines and seeking for work in Sweden, hopefully in the field of Finance, Banking, Accounting and Auditing.
Im from a nonEU country, and Im still learning Swedish (beginner level)
Can you recommend on how to find jobs like these? Thank you!
P.S. Do they have benefits for immigrants? Like subsidies or something of that sort?

Hello,

I think accounting needs knowledge of local rules/standards to a certain extent. That's why many countries have certification bodies for accountants. Do you think being from the Philippines you'll have that knowledge? My own assumption is you don't. The rest of the answer is more or less obvious.

There are no monetary benefits or subsidies for immigrants as such unless you are a refugee. You can learn Swedish through government-aided institutes only if you are legally in the country and have your social security number. Health care etc is the same for all residents (legal residents not tourists).

Hi
How is the market for those well conversant in the English language and also for someone seeking for opportunities as a PA / EA.
Also teacher jobs for Pre-School and primary do you think immigrants stand a chance.
Please let me know

thank you

There is no special advantage if you speak English because most people understand English well. But that said it has no special advantages because Swedish is the primary language.
