Sofi is a teacher, writer and publisher with a passion for Swedish language and culture. Since 2008, she has helped international professionals to succeed in the Swedish job market through her courses and workshops. She is also the co-founder of independent publishing house LYS, making Sweden and the Swedes comprehensible through books on local expertise and the global experience. Sofi is a popular public speaker and course facilitator on these subjects, and now for the first time, her training material is available online through Career Sweden. The best thing about Sweden, according to Sofi, is all the wild swimming opportunities. If you can’t find her at her desk working on another book project, she is probably submerged in a cool forest lake in one of Sweden’s deep forests.

When asked about a national character, almost any newbie – or oldie, is likely to describe the typical Swede as shy, reserved and almost uninterested in human contact. Although everyone...
