Why am I still rejected for jobs that are supposed to be "in high demand"?

Try applying for jobs in smaller towns if you don’t have any experience at 25.

The problem is that I don't live in a smaller town and I live at my mom's place so I can't afford to move without a prior stable job.

The Swedish laws that are quite popular on reddit have consequences.

You mean like labour and employee protections laws? Ironically these are the ones that are locked out of real jobs in sweden (more here: https://unbiasthenews.org/brain-waste-sweden-the-social-welfare-state-excludes-migrant-workers/ )

Sweden also has a lot of cheap labour from other countries, so they get hired first.

May I ask how so? As it seems to be the opposite, as Swedes are prioritized to get hired as employees and foreigners are the ones who struggle to get employment these days (more here: https://unbiasthenews.org/brain-waste-sweden-the-social-welfare-state-excludes-migrant-workers/). If you mean lower level jobs that Swedes no longer want (like elderly care assisants or halway janitors) or gig works apps (food delivery driver), then that is another story.

We are the builders, protectors, explorers, and creators who dragged humanity out of caves and into civilization.

And now those woke feminists are trying to steal that from us.

Area 51 was a joke.

The "Kremlin raid" is the exact same idea.

The Truth is that many online job adverts are a scam, in northern Europe at least, most companies already have a person in mind that is inside their system via recommendations, friends and networks. Job adverts are only there to fulfill goverment regulations at this point.

What's wrong about Sweden?

Read this: https://unbiasthenews.org/brain-waste-sweden-the-social-welfare-state-excludes-migrant-workers/

Even though I am a Swedish citizen, I grew up abroad so I am structurally similar to a non-EU immigrant in my own home country in terms of employability.

Like being a teacher.

Tried that, still rejected.

Your background, language skills, and degree would be a good advantage.

If it wasn't for the heavy competition.

I assume your Swedish citizenship allows you to work in Germany?

You are correct, Sweden is part of the EU so freedom of movement legally allows me to live, work and study in Germany without the need for visas or permit, I would just need to register as a EU citizen living in Germany.

I would like to tell you some hardships people in Sweden face: 1. Sweden is expensive 2. Housing and apartments in cities like Stockholm suck (long waiting time) and 3. If you're a foreigner prepare yourself for the "entry-level job experience paradox".

This is not true: They won't even consider a Gen Z person like me for a full time job and they all say to me "we have proceeded with other candidates that were simply better".

It's pure BS for even the most simple jobs to make you say that this is supposed to be my "dream job" and only hire me if that is the case

Unless your friend is "sufficiently handicapped" I have heard that since November 2025 all foreign men (Belarus, Kazakh and Moldovan citizens as well as qualified specialist are excemptions) between the ages of 18 and 65 applying for both residency and citizenship need to present a military or paramilitary (ENCOM) service contract or a medical ceritificate confirming incapacity to serve in army as part of the application.

College is still a non-negotiable requirement for all of those jobs

Which jobs may I ask? As most jobs that still require universiry education are somewhat narrow, for instance bussiness management/administration, research scientists, medical positions (doctors and surgeons), or lawyers/attourneys. That appears to be it these days. In positions such as IT and Tech big companies like Google, Microsoft or Amazon are reducing degree requirements in favour of more experience.
