Do Swedish employers value language certifications?
Hej!
I will be moving to Sweden late this year. For context, I know Spanish, English, German (up to B1 level) and started learning Swedish last year (hopefully A2 by EoY).
I'm hesitating about taking a new English exam (Cambridge's CPE) given that my latest English certification is 7 years old, and it's one that has an expiration date. By this point, of course, already expired.
Do employers care about this when applying for a job? If so, tell me how much a difference could it make.
I don't ask about German because it's not likely that it will make a difference in Sweden, but I'm sure English will, given that my Swedish won't be competent until a couple more years.
Additional information if useful: I'm a Civil Engineer (and considered as such by the UHR) with most of my experience in mining and infrastructure projects (7+ years) and will target career-related jobs.
Thanks in advance!
Edit:
I appreciate all the input! Everyone seems to be on the same page, which is good to hear. It is indeed different from what's valued for job positions in my country. Thanks again!
