hey there:)
I am curious can anybody help me with some suggestions about getting a job in Finland? i was in a visit there, (near Lahti), and stayed three months.. i was entitled in a course of finnish language, for beginners of course, and now I am planning to go for  a longer time :) but of course..job is needed. I graduated as an English teacher (BA and spec.Art of English language and Literature). I also speak Italian, Serbian and Croatian. I was first thinking to work as a nanny, at least for some time, but I am afraid that it can't be the only source of earning money for a living, since costs of living in Finland are...well, different than I am used to :) Why Finland..well, because the climate is perfect, for me. People are so honest and kind (I know, shy too, but they surely aren't shy on weekends, as i have seen :), then..no corruption (I am from Montenegro and thus that corruption thing really made an impression on me), as well as attitude of fins towards people of any race/color...amazing country. just amazing. and the most beautiful nature i have ever seen. and of course-her majesty sauna:) ok, i already typed too much. :)

anyone willing to help anyhow, or simply talk/share love for this  beautiful pace..feel free to contact me :)

terveisiä,
Marija

Hi Marija

I wish you good luck finding job, I am not sure how good you speak Finnish but I am sure you could find job working for cleaning companies for starters like ISS. Also I don't know if you are allowed to work there because Montenegro is not EU country yet. Maybe companies could provide you with working visa?

thank you for your reply :)

I could get a working visa, i already made some research about it. that's the only way (besides getting married for a stranger, and that is not my kind of thing really) for getting a permit.

i am searching trough web all the time something, but usually jobs are found in a different way. but i can't be in Finland all the time, unfortunately.

my finnish is not so good, since i've been there only 3 months. diploma that i received after taking a course is called ""Survival Finnish'', so . i guess i can only survive using it :)

than you for your reply once again. xx
