Hello!

I am a 25 years old male and will be studying in Helsinki for 3 year. Just arrived this month and I am now looking for a small part-time job to improve my income During the week I can start working at 17.30 and I am willing to work on Saturday and Sunday as well. English is my mother tongue and I am fluent in it, but I don't speak Finnish. Where can I go and ask for a job? If you are a student, for example, how did you find a job?
please email me on innowhat@hotmail.com

Best regards

Sorry, but you are too stupid for words.

I honestly thought you were making a joke to begin with, but perhaps you're not.

I do not know what are the criteria here to get a normal answer but it might be that the person is studying and wants to work in the evening.

The lack of compasion and feeling into it will and is already breaking up in Finnish society if you see how many loonaticks are walking around here and nobody gives a !"#¤% because the government should probably take care of it

Why a positive person with a normal question shooting down by his or her first e-mail? I make jokes but try to leave the people in their dignity (hard to find here sometimes)

I remember when Hank alias ... was shooting down another person who wanted to work, the next day he was helping an Erasmus student who wanted to know the fasted way to Kela to get unemployed

Oh yes xenex it might be useful to look on: http://www.mol.fi, monster.fi,manpower, Baron (they do events "managing" etc.). Via monster.fi you see other adresses to search. Good for your Finnish too, you should be able to do at least the basics if you want to go further.

good thing you pointed out but again see the downpour of comments if you say you are from turkey or nigeria

Rick1 - Preserving someone's dignity on a bulletin board or preserving their dignity in the future by helping them to understand what's needed to get a job...

If you want the long answer (which might be even more offensive to the OP, so I apologise now): I certainly wouldn't be encouraged to give anyone a job after they make such a fundamental error. Yes we all make typos, but if you are trying to pick up a job (or a contact through whom you could get a job) you make damn sure you check your text. In many peoples' eyes it makes someone look either lazy or lacking in attention to detail. Not exactly a "strong sell" on a first impression.

What is the best about this is, that xenex just copied my job request posting and slightly modified it to fit his person.

It just further proves how much of an effort the OP really puts into making an important first impression... I agree with Karhunkoski, if I read a text like this that is supposed to give a good impression of a person, and they have not bothered to waste more than 2 seconds on writing it... it goes straight into the roskakori.

You can also in the Finnish way just ignore them

You are such junk and am sure you will end up depressed and die in shame like most of your kind do,

Rick or whatever @#$% !"#¤% you call yourself, I think the world will be a better place without people like your kind, It so shameful that you cant even correct someone when they make mistake, so much for the Finnish hospitality, well am not so stupid and dumb as you are, for the fact that I had to copy and paste that post from another persons post is not a !"#¤% of your,I hope you get to travel to another country and hopefully you will get the same hospitality, stupid son of a Gun

voi v%&tu.... are you referring to finnish people? don't earn bad name for foreigners

Oh boy, I think we can really see already how well the OP will fit in in Finland and how great his chances of securing a nice, well-paid parttime job will be.
Social skills - check
Humility - check
High opinion of the Finnish way - check
Awareness that he is now in Finland and it is completely irrelevant how HE thinks things should work - check

Well if I could choose I would be getting depressed from spending my money on a nice warm island but life is not always how you want it to be

But you are right I have stress at work and that's better then stress from sitting at home

I recommend Xenex to read before you shout because I tried to help you because I come from a place where the foreigners were tamppered with social lawyers to show them the easiest way to social welfare and the hypocrite lefties in my country were so happy with them as long as they were not living next to them. Now we have no-go arias where even the foreigners get angry to eachother. Thanks to the hypocrites: please come in, use the benefits but do not live next to me. We call that left talking and right pockets filling (they make me sick).
