"Moving to a new country can be challenging in many ways and SDCN has been a blessing to me in this regard. It not only helped me tailor my CV and cover letter attuned to the Swedish market but also gave my first friends in the city and a robust professional network.

"One of the most challenging and frightening tasks was to start looking for a job in this strange country. I did not know the first thing about work etiquette, the application process, and the cover letter, which is not a requirement back home. However, SDCN helped me find my footing in this process, and I am glad to say that I found a job fairly quickly in my area.''

"Through SDCN I found my way in Stockholm. The career events helped me to get my CV and cover letter ready for the Swedish job market and the culture events taught me more about this beautiful country. Most valuable to me were the social events where I met our fantastic members who were always willing to give advice, a helping hand, or a listening ear. My advice to new members of SDCN is to make full use of all the experience SDCN has with supporting partners relocating to Stockholm, as they know all the ins and outs and cheer you on all the way.

SDCN helped me to "tune in" my CV to Swedish viewers. My CV was tailored for the US, where you have a very different approach than here. It was also very important to meet new people and network. I still hang out with friends I made during SDCN activities. In my opinion, the SDCN team does an amazing job. It made a big difference!

"I learned a lot from SDCN events like job interview preparation (this one in particular was very helpful). You have been bringing great professionals to support the members with important matters. SCDN has helped and guided me immensely in the right direction. You also helped me to meet people and network. I am so happy to be in the Stockholm Mentorship Program. It is awesome to have someone to share experiences and ideas. "

"When I moved to Stockholm, SDCN was the first place where I got to know the business culture, work ethics, and professional networking in Sweden. This was very important to more easily integrate into the society and find a job faster. Besides, I found many friends to hang out with in SDCN's warm environment which was essential for not feeling homesick.''

'Moving to a new country is never easy however after attending this fall's kick-off at SDCN and learning about the fellow members' experience and how they overcame their difficulties to find a job or make friendships, I started to see things from another perspective. SDCN is an extremely supportive community where members are about to help each other. Becoming a member is one of the best things that could happen to me after moving.''

"I got fresh perspectives on how to apply for jobs and learned how approach employers in an effective way. I got personal guidance and feedback on my CV and cover letters in the weekly Career Support Group. I encourage you to go to events, join professional forums, and talk to people about your job search. That’s one of the great tips I got at SDCN, and that’s what got me my current job in Stockholm. Last but not least, SDCN became like a family to me."

"I think the most important component, though, was positivity. I can’t count the days I might have given up hope of getting anything I found interesting (or anything at all), but this really is a SUPPORT group in that sense. I owe many thanks to the people who were a part of that support."

The most memorable one was probably the 2021 Spring Kick-Off event. I’m forever grateful to SDCN management and its members for all the kind support and guidance I got!"
