Wanted: IT job in Helsinki /Vantaa/Espoo/Kauniainen area

Post by RobV » Sun May 04, 2008 9:33 pm

Hello,

I'll be moving to Finland shortly (middle June), and unfortunately my pure lack of Finnish language skills are killing me.
So, I am looking for an IT-job in the Helsinki / Vantaa/ Espoo / Kauniainen area.

My main skills are in:
- Linux server administration (specifically: the Debian, Ubuntu and Red Hat distributions)
- Postfix
- Windows 2000 / 2003 Server administration
- Active Directory
- Exchange
- IP switching, routing, networking (currently following a Cisco CCNA course)
I have also 4+ years experience with helpdesk / callcenter environments, from a callcenter agent and managerial perspective managing a team of four technical specialists.

Full living/working permit.

I have a full CV available on request

Cell: +44 7800 750 690
Email: robv [at] live [dot] co [dot] uk

Best regards
Robert

p.s.
If anyone else has any tips on finding a good job, this would be much appreciated!

Just remind you this mid-June is "summer" which means everyone is on holiday - because its summer. So hiring starts maybe in late August or September when people come back. So don't get frustrated in July. The country is on vacation. (after living through the winter you understand why)
Cheers, Hank W.

Ahh yes, my girlfriend mentioned the mid-summer parties. I'll keep that in mind, thanks! :-)

If your magic words had only included J2EE and DB2 or Oracle, I could have whispering poison into my bosses ear... ;)

What kind of Oracle skills would your boss be interested in hearing whispered mutterings about then?
