Apologies for the following engelska, min svenska inte så bra. (Edit: also, feel free to just skip to the last paragraph; I typed way too much here.)
I moved to Sweden a little under two years ago (permanently, met a girl, etc.). I had a real rough time getting my first step onto the employment ladder, thanks in no small part to my Swedish being practically non-existent at that point. Fast forward to last Summer and I lucked into a teaching job in a Stockholm suburb, assisting as a stöd lärare a few days a week, taking low ability kids and trying to help get their english up to around their expected level. It's a long, long story, but essentially this job was not explained very well to me when I accepted it and the expectations of the position have been something that I've been wrestling with for half a year now. (Again, complicated, but a simple example would be them stating "you won't need to know Swedish to fulfil your role" and holy shit yes, yes I really do need to know Swedish to do this job properly, to be an effective teacher for the kids I'm supposed to be helping. Again though, that's just one facet of the difficulty I had.)
Aaaanyway. Enough of that saga. The end result is that the job has been an increasing source of anxiety for me and I've admitted to myself that it's causing me problems with my mental health. Not necessarily a problem with the school itself, just a problem with my personal current suitability for the workplace.
Point being! I handed in my month's notice last week and now I'm back to square one on the job-search front. Admittedly things are a little better than they were a year ago -- I now have a decent Swedish reference and I can talk bad, broken Swedish about basics, rather than simply not being able to talk any Swedish at all, but still. Any job which requires swedish language above low-intermediate (ie. nearly all of them, it seems!) still feels like an exercise in futility at the moment.
Arrangements for beginning SFI is still ongoing (had to jump through a ton of personnumer hoops before I could start talking to the SFI people) but realistically it's going to be at least another year or so before my Swedish gets close to being at a basic conversational level.
A question then: this is a long shot for sure, but I'm trying to look down as many avenues as I possibly can -- does anyone know of any job positions, or even any current actual job openings or whatever, that don't require functional Swedish? Or, even better, employers which are actively only looking for very strong, native English language skills. Stockholm and surrounding districts.
