They're not interchangeable. Very similar question was answered yesterday on https://www.duolingo.com/comment/5577724, hopefully you'll be able to find what you look for there.
If it doesn't, just ask again. :)

No, it works for similarities in personality and such too, but here it isn't really a question of similarity. We don't need an engineer who is similar to you, rather we need someone who just like you happens to be an engineer. Not sure I'm describing this 100% accurately but I hope it helps anyway.

Yes, the verb needs to be in second place in Swedish main clauses (that are not questions), so if the sentence starts with Vi, the verb absolutely has to come after that. More about word order here: https://www.duolingo.com/comment/8970470

so on: https://forvo.com/search/verkligen/ it sounds like the "g" is a "ye" sound, but the voice on here, makes a "g" sound? :)

One e in the english translation wrong. And the whole sentence is wrong. That is too hard!!!!
