10 Mistakes When Looking For a Job in Finland

[@007dskidp]

I had the pleasure of visiting Helsinki in May a few years ago and I was captivated by the culture and architecture. Every video that Varpu publishes should be viewed by those wishing to understand the Finnish culture and those wishing to relocate to Finland and seek employment. Finnish people are quiet, family centric, reflective, somber and value their personal space. They value social welfare, which is very different then in many countries, the United States included. They also value those that make and effort to learn the Finnish language and the culture. In fact, taking the time to learn finnish will give you a "leg up" on jobs. Finland is a Nordic country and they resent being lumped today with the Scandinavian countries.

Moika! Thank you Varpu for such a wonderful video! I have long dreamed of moving to Finland and now I am finally old enough and experienced enough in my specialty to do this. I'm 24 and I'm a 3D artist. And even though there is a huge crisis in our industry right now, thanks to your videos, I believe that I can move to live in your beautiful country. Moreover, now is the time to write letters to all companies! Thank you again, Varpu.
