To learn through doing
Contexto cultural
Swedes value 'life experience' (livserfarenhet) highly. It is often seen as more important than 'book smarts' in social situations. The concept of 'erfarenhetsåterföring' (feedback of experience) is common in Swedish companies to improve processes. In Swedish universities, 'beprövad erfarenhet' (proven experience) is a legal term used alongside 'science' to validate methods. When someone makes a mistake, a common Swedish comfort is to say 'Då har du gjort en erfarenhet rikare' (Then you are one experience richer).
Use it in your CV
Instead of just listing skills, use 'Jag har gjort värdefulla erfarenheter inom...' to sound more reflective.
Don't say 'Hade'
Avoid saying 'Jag hade en erfarenhet'. It's the most common mistake for English speakers.
