Webinar: Working in Sweden as an international graduate

In this webinar you meet LUSEM alumni who were once international degree students that now have secured work in Sweden. The panel members share their insights on areas such as job hunting, networking and Swedish workplace culture. You’ll discover key cultural aspects of the Swedish workplace—how to communicate effectively with colleagues and managers, why "fika" is more than just a coffee break, and what makes Swedish work culture unique. 

The event is organised by the LUSEM Career and Alumni team and a part in the LUSEM Alumni Career Talk series.
