How to find and apply to a job in Finland? 

As a jobseeker you are expected to independently apply to jobs. This means that you browse through job vacancies online, carefully read the requirements and assess if you would be a good match to the job and the employer. Then you will apply to the job through the channel the company has stated in the job vacancy. You shouldn’t have to pay to any company to find you a job.  

Employers want to know how the company would benefit from employing you so your CV and application letter should reflect on that. Finnish people highly value honesty and are quite modest. This means that one shouldn’t exaggerate their skills or experience in the application. It will put you into a bad position if it is later revealed that you in fact didn’t possess the qualities you have stated in your resume.  

Employers in Finland appreciate jobseekers that show interest to them as an organization. You are welcome to ask questions to better understand the job requirements, the company culture, salary etc. Some job vacancy ads have specified a dedicated time slot for the jobseeker to be able to contact the company representative before the application period ends. Some job ads don’t have a specified time slot but the representative contact information is given. Usually, one phone call or an email is enough to get the needed information. Be careful not to overbear the person and the company. It is considered rude if a jobseeker tries to make a contact too many times. In your job seeking process to Finland the main emphasis should be put into the cover letter and CV. Make sure you stand out with your application documents!  

If the hiring company thinks your profile is interesting to them, they might invite you to an interview.
