Re: Moving to Espoo: English speaking Vacancy
If you are after TEFL...best bet is to hit up all the language schools. I don't know how old this list is but a lot of the big companies are on it...some no longer exist and there is others.

Work has been quiet the past few years because of the economic situation but it has picked up over the last year - It's not 100% though. Some companies are in a worse situation that others. You might find it hard to pick up work.
It's summer hols here soon, so there won't be much teaching (i.e. probly none) until August....and it builds up slowly. If things are very quiet, it can be mid-September or later before you get a full schedule.
All the work is 'freelance', so you might be employed by one company, given a hand full of classes and you'll get paid for your class time. If there's a holiday or your class gets cancelled and you don't have it...then you won't get paid for the class.
In Finland...The TEFL business is all adults and mostly business English / ESP., so a cert. for teaching YL isn't really needed.
Do a search on the forum...There's been a fair few discussions about TEFL in Finland.
