This time it wasn't even an email, the brand put out a call for content creators for an "exciting opportunity" at the end of October - so time pressure and clear need for creators. The entitlement was through the roof

When "travel brands" offer “exciting opportunities,” yet gatekeep all the vital details, including pay or any incentive, while expecting content creators to go all in at their own expense and resources.

Fake and performative PR at its best 🙄🙄

Keep positive and work on your Swedish, I have faith in you! One more insight and also something I currently struggle with: location has become a huge thing. Better to do a job search whilst you are already onsite. I know this is a big Catch 22 situation but job markets want people onsite

Best of luck, my only advice would be (and not sure if you are already doing it) to learn the language and include a course certificate on your CV. Even though English is spoken in most parts of Europe, most employers will prefer a local/native speaker so you have to work twice as hard.
