Jobs?

Hi Victoria,

You should post an advert in the Helsinki classifieds > job section as well. It might help you.

I wish you good luck in your search,

If you have a valid visa (permanent), why going to struggle for nothing..better consult the integration plan from the employment office and learn Finnish FIRST!! Then you dont have to look out for jobs after couple of months, jobs will find you...

So, you just came here, relax and don't be in a rush... take it easy and do something constructive for yourself instead of wasting your time with washing dishes or cleaning floors...

Take the golden opportunity and learn the language for free, in fact you getting paid for that...

I have a hard time believing jobs will just find you. I'm a finnish citizen with a tourism degree and I have a hard time finding ANY job. I do agree that learning finnish is a great idea. If there is a LIDL shop near where you live you should try applying. They often look for part time workers and are happy to take foreigners, even those with limited finnish knowledge. You should also sign up with a job employment office near you. Visit mol.fi/mol/en/index.jsp for more information.

Well...based on my own experience (personal and professional), I didn't find it that hard to get a job in Helsinki ( I mean Hospitality ones). I got many opportunities, however I could only managed to work in Conference and banqueting where I don't have to use the language; just English and French were fine.

Then I realised that if you speak perfect Finnish, at that point, there should not be any problem to bag a hospitality job... Now if your are a Finnish Citizen, my goodness!!

I am a non-EU National, I have only an Diploma in Hotel Mgt, I never worked in Finland, I didn't know anyone(no Finnish Reference), I don't speak Finnish, but I never gave up..

However, I'll still suggest 'vveach' to forget the idea of struggling with dish washing or cleaning, better opt for the Language Course. It takes some time but it surely helps out in the future..
