सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Networking is often done through 'fika'. It's considered polite to ask someone for a 'förutsättningslös fika' (a coffee with no strings attached) to knyta kontakter. The 'hidden job market' is huge in Sweden. Up to 70% of jobs are found through 'kontakter', making this phrase vital for career success. Swedes love associations. Joining a 'bostadsrättsförening' (housing association) is a common way to knyta kontakter with neighbors. Sweden is one of the most LinkedIn-active countries per capita. 'Knyta kontakter' digitally is very standard.
