Hey everyone! 👋
I’m considering creating a website that shares real experiences from:
✅ International professionals in Finland on how they navigated job hunting, networking, and applications.
✅ Finnish professionals & recruiters on what they look for in candidates and how they approach hiring.
The goal? Make job hunting in Finland easier for internationals by providing real-life insights.
Before I invest time and resources into this, I’d love to hear if this is something people would actually use. Could you take 1 minute to fill out this short form? Your feedback will help shape this project! 🙂

Backstory: I graduated in December 2023 and started job hunting. For months, I kept applying but didn’t see much success. Coming from a different culture, I later realized that I was missing key elements in my applications and interviews, things that I wasn’t even aware of!
What changed everything for me? Talking to professionals – both Finnish and international.
With their insights, I improved my job search strategy and finally landed a job! This made me realize how important real experiences and advice are when navigating the Finnish job market as an international. So, through this project, I want to help others and hopefully add some value to their job search journey. Please let me know what you think! 🙂
Thanks a lot! Any feedback is appreciated! 💙

!Be honest and just make the website a page saying:
“It’s bad, stay home.”
Add the change your name and ask for less
Register [www.howisthejobsituationinfinland.com](http://www.howisthejobsituationinfinland.com) and put “It’s really bad” on the landing page.
Just don’t know what you’d put on the www-site that would be helpful. After lots of association with this thene, i can done up with 2-3 so 1) network 2) if you have outside Finland employment; get an eor (employer of record) 3) lots of jobs require
Finnish certification or Finnish skills.
Yes be honest but that won’t deter some people. I’m married to a Finn and I would have loved job hunting tips. I lucked out and got a job but it might get relevant at some point again. Job centers are usually little help
However, I agree, you shouldn’t sugar coat the current situation. It’s tough man. Even for Finnish people but it’s worse for foreigners.
