Life standard and cost of living in Stockholm is quite high in comparison to Prague. When you are coming here your account shows few digits (in case you were working last summer :smile: ). Then you realize after 2 months that in order to enjoy your life at maximum here in Scandinavia, it’s a good idea to find a job.

I tried some part-time jobs, like serving as guardian, but it was really difficult to resist to make photos with every tourist :mrgreen:

Finding a part-time job it’s not a easy thing. For some companies you need to speak Swedish, other companies want more flexibility. A good chance to meet representatives from different companies and to ask them for a part-time position is participating at business forums, which are organized at local universities.

So after an interview at Handelsgadarna (business forum for students) with the Global talent manager from one company I was invited to the next step: a couple of interviews with representatives from HR and Global Supply department of this company. After few days I got a positive feedback and the official invitation to join the company, so now for almost 3 weeks I am a proud employee of this company.

The company, where I work is today one of the world’s fastest-growing in their industry. It is present in 59 countries and is market leader in over 30 countries.
Company overview:
- 1,1 billion Euros in annual sales
- 6.200 employees

The interesting fact was that the day when I started, they were celebrating the headquarter’s transfer from Brussels to Stockholm, but I didn’t know about that. So everybody where making fun of me, that they prepared all this food and champagne only for me, because I am new and I they prepare this kind of welcome parties for every new employee :lol: .

Since making photos in the office and posting them is prohibited, I will not advertise the name of the company :!:

my colleagues : Olga (Poland), Mario (Mexico), Tommy and Malin (Sweden), Shjek (Norway)

Ehssan and Tommy (Sweden)

hard working :cool:

I am working in the Global Supply department, my title is Supply Planner.
