"My name is Bernadeta Safta and I am 40 years old. I got a job as a breakfast attendant at the Clarion Hotel Post. I am very satisfied because Opportunity Day gave me a chance to start working in a nice collective. "

"Being in a new country, speaking a new language and starting from scratch is not easy at all, but it has never been impossible. Meeting places are the most important and fastest way to enter a workplace. On Opportunity Day you will find a great chance to get a job. It took me ten days from the first meeting on Opportunity Day to the first day at the new job at Aros Electronics.”

"Because there are too few arenas and forums for job seekers, with a different background and education than the 'traditional' one, and employers, we need this kind of meeting places. It really is a win-win concept! From a larger perspective, it is valuable in terms of integration into society"
Lars Olin, CEO at Bergendahls El participated in 2017 and 2018
" My name is Maísa Kröling, I am 30 years old and I came to Sweden 9 months ago. I have a master's degree in civil engineering from Ponta Grossa University in Brazil and I have 8 years of experience from the entire construction process in projects aimed at the construction of residential and commercial properties in Brazil. I think Opportunity Day is an excellent opportunity for newcomers to Sweden looking for a job. With the help of this, I was able to do my first job interview, which fortunately led to employment.”
Maísa Kröling, Architect, Studie Ekberg
"After Opportunity day, we offered four people the opportunity to interview, all of whom got the opportunity to be employed afterwards. Two chose to become employees at Aros, all within the space of a week. Opportunity Day was an eye-opener for us who hire personnel to find the unique skills they want quickly."
Kent Johansson, Production manager Aros electronics AB.
“I think Opportunity Day is so important. It is one of the best places to make it possible for companies and job seekers to meet each other. It is a good chance for job seekers to show their interest in the job and the companies. Having a job means the opportunity to use and develop my skills, integrate into Swedish society and meet new people and make more friends.”
