What can we find in Finland w/h this kind of work experience

Post by Mihaela » Sat Jul 05, 2008 7:52 pm

Hello all! :)

Me and my husband are thinking of moving to Finland in a couple of years.
I want to study there a master's degree and I just don't want to leave him alone for so much time .

By the time we will move, he will have 3 - 4 years experience in Websphere MQ and he is very good in C and is learning JAVA right now . He speaks English very well. I guess without Finnish it will be hard, but some friends of mine who work now in Helsinki say that for IT jobs it is possible w/o Finnish? We will start looking from here, of course, but I just want to know if there are jobs for this kind of software development thing.
Me, I was wondering, if it will be possible to work part time with languages. I speak fluently English, French and Bulgarian - native. I speak on a good level Russian and Italian. And I am learning Finnish since December. I have worked in a Call center - first as an agent, now as a quality analyst. I have also translated some projects for Danone and for a person from USA, living in BG. I have taught Bulgarian to adults and English and French to children. I will be interested in teaching more than translating, but anything will do for me, if it is part-time.

I know we have a lot of time before moving, but I just want to have a plan (I saw somewhere a thread by Hank convincing Bulgarians to have a plan before moving :) ). So do you think there will be some kind of jobs for us?
Thanks for any help!

Start your hubby surfing monster.fi and all the other IT job sites - also the companies that advertise there and the big ones in Finland. I'd say Websphere "talent" is something that is "in demand".
