Where are you based in Finland? And do you have a LiknedIn profile?
I might have suitable position for you.


Every case is unique. You can't measure the result of your application based on arbitrary anecdotes online.

Offers??? This is Finland. Crappy economy. Lots of Finnish peeps out of work. No one is going to offer you a job, you have to fight hard to find one.

Good luck!

It's the crappy economy. People don't go around offering jobs unless you're the bees knees. And in here (and without fluent Finnish) you have to be something seriously amazing before anyone will offer. Like, do you have Oracle skills and eleventy bajillion years of writing Java? etc.

tl;dr: the only way you get "offered" without fluent Finnish is if you have an in-demand skill for vacant jobs that Finns can't fill.

I do hope that you get something through beep_boop. He works though, so perhaps has been unable to reply though. He'll be back, don't worry. You're going to need patience anyway, because the likely scenario in Finland, without specific skills in demand, is to be unemployed for months.

PS: In English it's not "an advice". Advice isn't a singular object on its own as it's uncountable. It needs to be simply "advice" or "a piece of advice" if you wish to make it singular.
