Abstract
ABSTRACT This article conceptualises and examines the notion of the ‘career rewind’ that highly skilled refugees experience after arrival in a receiving country; in this case Sweden. Rather than a career interruption, career hiatus or deferred progression, this article argues that a career rewind takes place. The rewind entails, among other things, re-taking courses, re-acquiring professional knowledge and skills, and recertification in the case of registered professions. The empirical material was collected in 20 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with pharmacists with a refugee background in Sweden. The findings provide insights into pharmacists’ experiences of a career rewind in different places, and their attempts to ‘unwind’ the rewind.
