Hello everybody!
My name is Olga. I'm from Russia. And.....i'm in love with a great city Oulu. I've been living there 1 year as exchange student....learned finnish language (and still doing it here, in Russia). I've also tryed to find a job, but it is hard. I had few invitation for the interview, and it went well, but the main problem was that my visa was for studying. So, now i'm thinking, is it possible to don't give up. I would love to find any job in Oulu. I know that I have to know finnish for that, but I'm doing my best to learn it as much as I can.
If anybdy have any ideas or wants to share expirience how to make a dream to become true, please, feel free to contact me by e-mail elka.ogel@gmail.com

It does not matter if your visa is student. If the job is offered full time, you can change it to A category.Also, it is better to be in Finland when you apply for a job in Finland.
Another option can be, applying for a temporary work permit from the Finnish embassy in Russia. I think they grant a six month job seeking visa on which you can live in Finland and search for jobs. This kind of visa can be extended also and you can use that time in learning Finnish language.

I know you are in love with Oulu, but getting a job in capital area is much easier than any other city. May be you try in Helsinki region.

Greetings from Mäntsälä

Thank you, for replying!
If I'll get temporary work permit from Finnish embassy for searching for jobs I will not have money for surviving in Finland. That will be hard....I hope u understand what I mean.
Best regards!
