Spanish speakers - in what professions

Post by No.6 » Thu Jul 22, 2010 3:07 pm

Hi all,
Just trying to get a handle on the issue - in what professions female Spanish (EU/LatinAmericans) speakers have managed to find employment in Finland (with/without Finnish requirements).
All responses will be inspirational... I still believe :-)
Thanks.


I am not a number!

We have a Spanish lady working in our project department doing AutoCAD drawings and designing electrical systems.

Inspired yet?
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.

It depends on your qualifications. If you have a degree and some desired skills and experience then any of the international companies might be interested. Otherwise if you have to do a more menial job you might end in a kitchen or cleaning since in most cases fluent finnish is required when you have contact with finnish customers. Anyways start or keep on studying finnish :)

My neighbour is a native Spanish-speaker. He works as a consulting engineer in an international company. But he also speaks Finnish.
