S7E5: Finding a job in Lund after studies | LU International Podcast

Описание: For international students looking beyond graduation to their future career prospects, Lund and the surrounding Skåne region can be an attractive option for jobseeking, offering an international environment, strong links to Lund University, and a high standard of living. But what are the prospects for students looking to stay in Lund and find work? In this episode, host Timothy Parker (LU Corporate Communication) speaks to Ronja Karvinen from Finland (BSc Development Studies and MSc Human Ecology) and Laura Vega from Colombia (MSc Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science), two recent LU graduates who are now working in Lund. Ronja now works for the local Lund municipality as a Student Coordinator and Project Leader, while Laura works as a Project Manager for Circle Centre Lund.

Together they discuss what they're working with now, how they found their jobs, and how their studies prepared them for their careers. Plus, they consider how necessary it is to learn Swedish, and offer their tips and advice on looking for jobs in a competitive market.
