Job in Finnland

[Lucy171]

I am German female person and I am looking for a job in Finland. I would like to move to Finland and work there. My friend is Finnish and I would like to live with him. He lives nearly Seinäjoki. And now I would like to work in Seinäjoki or surrounding. I worked as a secretary in a lawyer office, I worked also in the public sector as secretary. At the moment I work at the University of Dusseldorf as secretary. I speak German, English and also Finnish, but not very good. I have been learning Finnish for several years and I do it also now. My friend trys to help me. I have also knowledges in EDV, MS Office-programmes. I can make also other work in the first time. This is not the problem. But I hope to find next time a job in Finland, so that I can move to my friend.
It is difficult the whole time, if we are separated.
Toivon, ehkä täällä on mahdollisuus löyttää työtä Suomessa pian. Ole hyvää, auttaa minua! Kiitos!

Here's a secretary job in Seinäjoki where they want someone who speaks German fluently and also speaks some english. I'm pretty sure that they will want you to speak Finnish fluently though.

I tried to look the job, but it wasn't there not yet. Could you remind, which company it was? I would like to try to find a job in the near of Seinäjoki joka tapauksessa, because my friend lives there and I would like to move to him.
And I am sure, I can learn more finnish if I live there.

I dont want to upset you, but wouldnt it be better for him to move to Germany? Seinajoki is a very small town.. Im not sure if you would like to live in a such for the rest of your life.

That is so Finnish attitude: "move to new place, get a new job, live your life happily till death do us part, the end", unfortunately that is not the reality anymore.

Jobs are in high demand in Finland so they may not last long on MOL.fi. Here's a secretary job in Kuortane (about 35 kilometers east of Seinäjoki). Unfortunately, they don't need German or English in their office. It won't hurt to try though.

I think it could be possible! I don't wear any pink glasses I know that it isn't simple, but when I haven't tried it, I could think every "rest" day in my life, why I didn't try it.
I know Seinäjoki and I know it is a little town, but I think I can manage it.
If my friend would get a job in Germany he would come to me immediately. That is sure. But he is a "talonrakentaja". Could you imagine, how difficult it is to get with this job a job in Germany. And he is foreigner! Already we are looking for a job in Germany, but ...??? And I am interested in the way of finnish life!

And I would like to say thank you for your help! And please help me furthermore. I would like to try this way and if it succeed I will report it here in this forum.

So don't forget, you are a foreigner in Finland too... I don't really know which is simplier..talonrakentaja in Germany or sihteeri in Fianland, especially the place near Seinajoki or in it. But try it out, maybe you get lucky. But I would suggest getting to Finland ONLY when you have the job or at least job interview already...because in another way you may waste a lot of time and money.
