How can I get work in sweden?
Hey everybody I ve been in sweden for 7 months and I am looking for a job as a Computer engineer. Although there are alot of vacancies posted everyday but no one need only english speaker. Anybody know ,if there are international companies where swedish language isn't essential?.

It's hard. There is a website called www.thelocal.se You can ask on the "discuss" section there. btw almost every job in sweden requires you to speak swedish. Swedes can already speak great english and other languages so why would they hire you when you can only speak one? Why are you living there if you are not going to learn swedish anyway. As an immigrant you are entitled to 240 hours of free swedish lessons. Also Swedish people try very hard to avoid employing foreigners and there is high unemployment is sweden even amongst swedes. Why are you living there?

Well you could try going to Arbetsförmedlingen, they can help you. But it will be hard if you can not speak swedish. Good luck though (:
