You probably overlooked post at this forum
2 jobs for engineers in Vantaa (no Finnish needed)
Following the success of my last job posting here, I thought I would pass on to my fellow foreigners that we are looking for 2 engineers (one for sales engineering, the other for project engineering) and we do not need Finnish language skills.
The situation currently in Finland (at least at capital area) is far more international than it used to be 10 years ago :)

Nonbody talks of language - qualifications - and for the doctors he must have passed the test to be a licenced doctor in his own right... theres a few engineering qualifications you have a test for you need to show the local knowlege - electricity to get papers to perform

It is quite doable, contact OPH. I'm myseft legalized my diploma /master in computer science/ and I know one teacher who did the same. In OPH could require some few mounth practice, at local hospital and attend training. It takes sometime, but no major problems as long as person has the diploma and had wide practice in his home country.

So Translate this.

Ei v!%# ko kaikki tulee päälle, vituttaa aivan liikaa.
Koitin tappaa itteni tuossa mutta eihä mulla siihenkään ollu tarpeeksi tavaraa.
vitun olemiset, ei tästä tule mitään. koittaa ny olla iloinen ja vitut.
olen itkeny viimeset pari viikkoa ja mikään auta.
helppoha se on sanoa että kaikki vielä hyväksi muuttuu, ja vitut,
kipu ei helpota ikinä, aivan sama mitä sanotte. Kuolemaa ei teiä sanomiset muuta.
On se saatana että pitää olla ymmärtäväinen kaikille, minulla on into nyrkillä näyttää kaikille mitä mieltä olen. Katotaan miten käy.

Foreign doctor didnt understand any of that, we changed to finnish one.

No, no. Move here is the hard work. Also, by ready first few years the income will drop by 20% compare with home country. It worth come here only having long recommendation list, experience, skills, basically be above local staff. Funny, it will be probably no point to move after all :)

Most likely this person who said that was not sick enough. If he/she would stay an year in queue hopeless to get appointment to doctor it would be another speech.
