Job Search Overview
The easiest way to find Swedish job vacancies is to use the Internet. In Sweden there is a trend of employers shifting from newspaper advertising to using the Internet. On the other hand, many people find jobs through networking and contacts with friends, family and business colleagues; this method of finding a job is becoming increasingly common. Internet networking sites and communities are also becoming complements to more traditional ways to job hunt, including LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube.
