Thank you so much! :)

Aww thank you for such a lovely comment! Your support means a lot to us. 🥰

Hi! That's great news about your bachelor's degree plans in Turku. Winters can be challenging for job hunting and simply surviving due to the cold weather, but hopefully, you'll find some opportunities. Best of luck with your studies and job search!

Thank you so much! Both network engineers and health management professionals are in demand, but securing a job in Finland can often depend on your proficiency in Finnish. For network engineers and other IT professionals, there is a strong market due to Finland's growing tech industry, especially in the capital region (Helsinki). For health management professionals, there is also a need, particularly in the public health sector and various healthcare institutions. However, interacting with customers will generally require knowledge of Finnish. If you want to explore job opportunities in Finland that require only English, you can take a look here for example: www.workinfinland.com/en/open-jobs/

@@couple_of_expats thankyou so much ❤️

It takes more than one language course to become proficient enough in any language to use it as the language of tuition at the higher education level. You might have special talent in learning languages. But for us with just more normal talent it takes significant time and effort.

Hi! Thank you so much for your postive feedback. Landing a job in Finland from India is not common, but also not impossible. In case of certain professions, where there might be a candidate shortage in Finland, the chances of landing a job from India are higher. If you are the right match for the organisation/company after interview(s), they can offer you the job. Keep an eye on relevant job vacancies in companies of interest and good luck!

Hi, Congratulations on your offer! 🥳 unfortunately, no personal insight into the University of Eastern Finland but here’s a few things to maybe take into account. 1. The funding situation for the PhD, that is, if funding is already secured or not. 2. The university is located in Kuopio which has a population of approximately 122000. While a small city means lower living cost (compared to Helsinki, for example,) it also means less job opportunities later on down the line if you’re looking for work. Good luck!

Having a PhD degree can help you find a job in Finland, but it really depends on the position and field you are interested in. While the Finnish job market values education and expertise, having a PhD is not a standard requirement for many jobs. However, having a PhD usually opens up opportunities in research, academia, and sometimes even in the industry. Finding a job in academia is often easier than in the industry. In academia, people really focus on your grant-writing abilities, past research topics, and publications, as well as your future aspirations as a researcher or lecturer. In the industry, on the other hand, there is a lot of focus on commercializing research, which means developing a product and being able to market it for profit. Getting an industry job often requires years of expertise, good language skills (including Finnish), and having the right connections. It's also important to note that the job market in Finland is very competitive, so it's crucial to network, tailor your CV and cover letter, and be persistent in your job search.

@@couple_of_expats wow...This is the best ever response I have ever received from you tube post. You deserve more subscribers. So much underrated channel. I will be joining as a postdoc researcher in Turku Bioscience and my domain is Cancer biochemistry and Protein-protein interaction analysis. Do foreigners get job in Academia in Finland?

​@@abirchakraborty1030 Being a foreigner isn't actually a qualification by itself. But it isn't a disqualification either. Academia includes also education and one needs to be aware that by law educational institutions need to offer study programs using Finnish official languages as the language of tuition. There has been complaints that some universities have failed to stay within the law in that respect.

Hi! I started working at the company already while being a student, and was lucky to continue working there full-time immediately after finishing my degree.

@@couple_of_expats ohhhh so that means I should start to seek for a job maybe during my second year as student?

@@couple_of_expats you know I think it will way more changeling for me as my field is social sciences. Have you heard of experiences about people with that background?

Depends
