Hello everyone...
my name's Rebecca, I'm a 27-year-old woman from Germany. I plan to move to Tampere in the near future due to, well, private reasons. But still there's one big hurdle for me to overcome: finding a job there. I pretty much know that it would be much easier to start researching there but as I still live in Germany that's not so easy. I contacted several companies before but I never got any replies. So as an alternative I decided to post in here as well.
I'm a trained management assistant in office communications, though I work in the logistics sector for about 2,5 years now. I've also got some experience in working with children as I worked as an Au Pair in Finland before for about four months.
Unfortunately I don't speak any proper Finnish yet, but I've got some basic knowledge of the language already and I started a language course in spring to learn it systematically. Apart from that I speak German (mother tongue), English and a bit of French (a bit rusty though).
I'd be ready to do any kind of job (though the possibilities might be a bit limited as long as I don't speak a proper Finnish), so if you've got anything to offer I'd be glad to hear from you

Re: Looking for a job in Tampere
There is some kind of group on facebook for Germans living in Tampere. i'm not sure of the name of the group but i can find out. You might have some luck there finding out what other Germans are doing concerning work.
Your best bet is to try and get a network of contacts going.Cold calling companies very rarely works, even for Finns.
