Hello everybody!
I'm a brazilian engineering student and I'm going to Finland in the end of december. I'll visit my girlfriend and stay there around 2 months, maybe a little more. During this time, I would like to find an internship for me. For now the experience is the most important for me, so I would accept work for free, since I don't have to pay to work. But of course it would be better to have some payment, so just some money for the food and transportation would be enough.
So, if you know someone who works in engineering or IT company that have something to do with programming, control, automation, or if you work, or have a friend of a friend who works, and can send them my CV, or give me a telephone, or anything, I would really apreciate it!
Thank you!

Nokia has work for students program. This is the best option for you.

Well, I would not expect too much here. First of all, "just some money for the food", there is minimal wage here (TES), even for interns it is 1500+. Inluding all taxes a companiy pay double of this price. Next, company should provide you working enviroment, mentor, space. It also costs. All together, companies don't really hurry to take interns unless there is real chance, to employ the good person in future after you complete the study.
