Excerpted from the Sweden Career Guide
A number of employment opportunities are available in Sweden's growing private
business and consulting sectors; expanding construction activity is also
generating new jobs for municipal employees. The need for consultants and
qualified managers, particularly those with specialized IT or technological
knowledge, is growing rapidly and demanding foreign recruitment.
Consulting
and managerial candidates should have experience and training in finance
and business management. Consultants working in specific sectors, such
as engineering, should have industry-related experience. Most management
jobs require at least a bachelors' degree. Many Swedish universities offer
a degree in management, commonly within the school's financial education
program or personnel sciences programs. Candidates with no degree can
sometimes land a management job with several years of practical experience.
There is no license or certification from State or central organization
necessary to work in this field.
Swedish trade
publications are particularly useful to those seeking jobs in business
and consulting. Finanstidningen, a leading business magazine in Sweden,
focuses on stock market and business analysis, banking, politics, news,
technology and investing. Dagens Industri, a popular Swedish business
and finance paper, publishes information about national and international
financial trends and business-relevant political news.
This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete guide.
