The Swedish armed forces aren’t exactly like any other job on the market, and the same thing can be said for It´s job interviews as well. To be honest, I haven´t seen (or experienced) a job interview quite like the ones that the Swedish army has started to live record just recently. In fact, I think I´m far from alone to share these thoughts. As we actually get the chance to ask real Swedish soldiers (from different fields within the Swedish army) questions live via cam and microphone.
Like In the case with John Karlsson, for example (my guess Is that his a special OPS soldier?), we get to follow John through his everyday training program while his answering questions by civilians who’re curious about joining the army. Something which of course caused a lot of amusement and commitment, since the whole thing was aired live.

Only the best of the best gets to become soldiers in the Swedish army.

You literally got the chance to hear, see and experience what It´s like to be a soldier through the eyes of John Karlsson. Let´s just say that I´m very impressed, and so far I have to admit that the Swedish army has done really well with their job interview series. The videos actually make me proud to be Swedish, and proud of our army.

Swedish:
Ett jobb inom Försvarsmakten är inte som vilket annat jobb som helst. Inte våra jobbintervjuer heller. Nu har du möjlighet att ställa dina frågor direkt till våra medarbetare – i deras rätta arbetsmiljö.Om du missade den första intervjun med John Karlsson från Swedish Armed Forces Adventure Team i onsdags finns delar av den att se här.
