The works used by you are pretty much very niche and only high end people who can afford that uses those kinds of designers..but then what makes you so unique?
I mean, I ask this question pretty much to everyone who thinks that they can be a MIchael jackson or Ja Ja gabor or Busta Rhymes...
What makes you or your work so Unique that you can qualify to get a job pretty much with what you know?
Otherwise, who do you know?

Finland is not easy country even for Finn if one doesn't know someone. I have my job not because what I know or am good at, but because who I know. Employing someone is big thing in Finland, and when I say big I mean expensive. Getting rid of unwanted employees used to be quite hard so employers tend to hire people they know: even if they don't get the best, they don't have to do all hiring process again.Oberon wrote: "What makes you or your work so Unique that you can qualify to get a job pretty much with what you know?

It's true that Finland is not easy country for foreigner to find a job but come on, it's too much. Sounds silly to say it's impossible unless you are the best in your field or you are Jackson itself.
ah see now the difference is not if you are the best - if you can convince someone hiring you are the best... and that requires "good vibes"... and Finns don't resonate always that well... but I've been now following a few peoples job hunting and it is really not a cakewalkOberon wrote: I'm asking you and all the dark-minded posters here:

Just cos we ask questions like this, doesnt make it dark-minded.. its questions like this that the interviewer will the "Thinking" to ask yet say nothing..Oberon wrote: I'm asking you and all the dark-minded posters here:

I wouldn't have typed that if I am not able to answer that question myself.!"What makes you or your work so Unique that you can qualify to get a job pretty much with what you know? Otherwise, who do you know?" before you ask something think whether you can answer your questions yourself?"
and I know that I am unique with the work that I do!! I dont need to convince you though!! Well, lets see you change jobs here or try to get a promotion asap... try to behave like a foreigner and expect the same benefits as a Finn... Its not easy but at least the ones who have jobs know difficult it was to get it and how precious it is to keep it!!It's true that Finland is not easy country for foreigner to find a job but come on, it's too much.

,that they won't hire unknown people. Hope at least they'll give me the opportunity to show them what I can do! Agreed that you dont have to convince me or others in this forum...

Anyway, you can bring something new or not. And about that, without modesty, I know that I can bring here something new, because I know what I'm capable of;I saw few interiors, and it seemed very boring. In my opinion, the place where you live, must reflect your personality! Of course, I have so much to learn in this domain.
I agree with Persuivant, you must know how to sell yourself!
Unfortunately, I'm a bit scared of what you told me about the finnish,
Initially, I thought similar things like this..so look through the eyes of a Finn and see it..It might not be boring at all.. it might be practical, sensible and sufficient..I know what I'm capable of;I saw few interiors, and it seemed very boring.
This will most probably help you in learning Finland's cultural aspect of interior design..In my opinion, the place where you live, must reflect your personality! Of course, I have so much to learn in this domain.
well I guess that then means a lot of Finns are... boringdessi_tm wrote: In my opinion, the place where you live, must reflect your personality!
Finns are one of the most informed people about the world...So that argument is moot point..dessi_tm wrote:not necessary! just that they haven't met so often more dynamic interiors, more colored. it is like the artistic currents....it's all in evolution precess! I think is impossible that here in Finland, will be used only this kind of interior design;

Light colors reflect well and makes the room(s) look brighter and bigger..
The same goes for the culture of Leaving the blinds as open as possible..to let as much light in as possible..

Yes but the rooms feel so cold and lets face it when it's -15 outside and you are in a big white room at say +21, it definately feels colder than in a cosy looking room at +21. I know because we tried it.

living room after
