Health professionals, Veterinarians and Teachers for Sweden

Dear Participant,

Thank you for joining our upcoming online-event "Health professionals, Veterinarians and Teachers for Sweden", taking place online on the 19 May 2022 from 12-13:30 and 16-17:30 CET

In order to get the most of this event we recommend you to:

Improve your profile / CV

Pay attention to your language, technical or soft skills, as well as educational fields. You can add your picture and, if you have one, your Skype account ID. If you haven’t done so yet, we strongly advise you to have your CV uploaded in English or have it retrieved from the EURES portal. You can as well add your LinkedIn profile or any online portfolio. Watch the video

Apply for jobs & confirm your attendance to interviews

There will be plenty of jobs waiting for you on the platform. Browse through these vacancies and apply as soon as possible to those matching your skills and expectations. Uploading your CV is not enough, the employer can only view your profile/ CV when you apply for their jobs.

Companies may also invite you for one or more online interviews, to take place on the event day.

In case you are pre-selected, you will get a notification by the employer(s) on possible timeslots for the interview, to which you should answer as quickly as possible.

If you have already applied, you might have some invitations pending your confirmation. Please check on a regular basis. 

 

Prepare for the interview(s)

In order to better prepare, you should thoroughly research available information on the participating employers page, their main projects and recruitment needs. Select the companies you want to approach, or who have invited you for an interview, identify the questions you may want to ask and try to anticipate possible questions from the employer.

A professional appearance is important (even if the interview is online) and a good level of English combined with a positive attitude, will prove highly beneficial.

Please make sure, ahead of the day of an online interview, you have access to:

• PC, laptop, tablet / iPad or another mobile device plus a headset with a microphone and a webcam;
• a stable internet connection;
• If you have an interview time slot confirmed – the employer will contact you on the time agreed 

On the event day, you can chat with employers and info points regarding job possibillities and other related issues. 

If you are not an EU/EEA or Swiss citizen

Please bear in mind that, while you may participate in this event and use the www.europeanjobdays.eu platform for job search and meeting employers, you will still have additional legal obligations and administrative procedures to go through to get access to the European labour market.

We advise you to check beforehand for additional information:

• the basic EU labour market accessing principles for different non-EU country nationals,
• the EU Immigration Portal

You should also be aware that employers may decide not to go through your application, due to the expected length of immigration procedures related to your hiring.

We look forward to meet you online on the 19th of May, and wish you good luck on your job search!
