If you have gone through the bureaucracy / red tape then you should mostly be fine on getting job. Despite what people say about rigidness of finnish job market due to strong work security.. well, it isn't so. That is just what right wing media has managed to make people believe.

we haven't figured out either, how to get a job. everyone knows english. helsinki has couple of bars that have english folks mostly working there. maybe something similar works, but you'll barely make enough, if you can't find a cheap apartment. :P busking is always an option I guess, libraries rent guitars and ukuleles. :P

Spring is good time to move into Finland. Moving from Australia to Finnish winter might result in kind of "thermal shock". Also would consider "concrete jungle" cities like Helsinki ugly at winter... And don't stress too much about language for getting on in daily life. For example even announcements in trains have been done also in English for long time. (what I can't say about Sweden in visit there in 2007) While officially Finland's languages are Finnish and Swedish, latter is really result of political "horse hockey" and in reality English would be far more of second language. There are far more people fluent in English than Swedish. Most not old people in most of the country understand it to at least some degree. Foreign movies and TV-shows (except those for children) not being dubbed no doubt helps lot in that. So you should also easily find something to watch on TV. Also if you have some hobbies your lot into, that would be good way to get to meet people and make contacts etc for help in daily life and for finding work. And for possible unemployment money etc Google for KELA or Kansaneläkelaitos. They have English pages. (second choise from right on top changes language) For place to look for jobs Google for "job market in Finland".

@ratyjoona2 ай бұрын
@@WilliamPreat Town I grew up is called Lieksa. Koli mostly belong in its municipality. We got Ruunaa as well (rapids) and Patvinsuo (swamps). City centre of Lieksa is quite nice and has lots of nature around. Depending on when you are coming you could have a chance to visit the biggest Bass music festival in Nordic countries. Also in Lieksa we have the 2nd largest outdoor museum anywhere in Finland. In Nurmes visit Bomba (spa). In Koli, do the basic trek + check Tarhaputous and Mäkrä if you can. Also Räsävaaran näkötorni and Pirunkirkko are notable mentions. In Joensuu I like the city area. When going to Koli, you can take a train from Joensuu to Vuonislahti after which there's a boat after which there's a landscape (ski) lift up. Also huge recommendation to get car in North Karelia if possible. Will tell more recommendations if come to my mind.

Welcome to Finland! Very brave move! I wish you the best. Even tho summer holiday season is coming and many workplaces are looking for new people to do "summerjobs", the language is very big barrier. However don't give up! If nothing else works, I bet you can always get job from cleaning services like Sol, ISS or Lassila&Tikanoja. I did cleaning job for 10 years and MOST of my workmates only spoke English. It is not easy job but better than nothing :)

Ei Kelalta matkailija voi noin vaan hakea rahaa, kotimaa elättäköön omansa.. Toki harvoja poikkeuksiakin on mutta perustelut löydyttävä, esim. terveydentila estää palaamasts kotimaahan jne.

I can't talk about any other city but Helsinki I feel is very English friendly, I remember the mayor even wanting it to make the "capital's official language". These days I feel it's extremely common for me to speak English in shops and restaurants in Helsinki, to the point that I'm often not really sure which language to start with. But getting jobs has been notoriously hard recently with even just native finns. But it's definitely not impossible :) Also trying to learn Finnish is a commendable task, I personally have dyslexia and truly struggle with my native language (well any language) sometimes. Hopefully you won't be afraid to try out even "broken Finnish" in public, we'll just think it's cool someone cares to try learn our language :D. Though do be prepared for a lot of corrections from people, I've already seen some reading a few comments. We can't really help it and we are just trying to help, even though a correction especially without context on what and why something changed won't really help. I'd definitely recommend trying to get into some form of Finnish media be it a show, movie or music if you haven't already, exposure to language does wonders! Even if your stay doesn't end up being as long as you would want it to, I hope you'll still be able to enjoy your time here and make meaningful connections & memories :)

Depends on what kind places/things you want to see. Older architecture/cities, or nature like forests/lakes etc? For the latter you don't have to necessarily go to national parks, because of what's known as "everyman's right". But Some national parks would be good to visit. Also of course most of places of nature are far easier to get when it's not winter with cold and snow and are naturally more popular then. Same for old architecture etc places like old fortresses and castles. (Suomenlinna in Helsinki, Olavinlinna in Savonlinna etc)

When you do come, remember your brain wont be used to our winters here. It's cold, and it's dark over 20h a day. It's beautiful, but it's also hell. Come October, buy multivitamine pills from any store or phramacy. You will need them.

Last year I was in Lithuania and Latvia for a while (obviously very different from Soumi) but it was completely dark, no sun except for a few hours each day, more like a grey sky then sun even. It definitely took a toll on my thinking in, in a way which it slowly crept in and i remember when i finally arrived down in Poland the sun was finally showing and i actually got kinda teary. Definitely gonna be a big learning curve when you stay somewhere for the entire season, not just a little bit of time. I appreciate this, ill be sure to buy some multivitamins.
