English web developer will need work (soon)

Post by vivaldi » Tue May 15, 2012 3:45 pm

I'm planning to move to Finland, preferably Helsinki, sometime during the summer. I'm hoping to do so by around July, though it depends on whether I can get a place to stay or not.
Either way, I'm experienced in web design, and web development, and have been running my own freelance business here in Australia for around 5 months now. I'm not planning on continuing a freelance enterprise in Finland, as I would assume decent language skills would be required, but how likely would it be that I could find work somewhere in this or a similar field?

What I'm looking for at least is something to be able to sustain myself on, I'm willing to apply for an internship, if such a thing exists over there, or a lower level position where I can learn within a business. I've also worked cleaning floors and offices so that's an option of need be.

I speak fluent English and am a British citizen, so I'm fine to stay there for at least 3 months. I should hopefully have around 10,000 euros in savings by the time I arrive, so I could live off that at least temporarily.

My current homepage is here: http://www.wildtangomedia.com/
I'm planning on re-designing it and building it around Wordpress, though work is keeping me busy at the moment.

Update:

I can confirm I am arriving in Helsinki on the 1st of August, and am still interested in any references or offers.
I shall be staying for 3 months at least (as long as i can live and work on my EU passport) though I plan to stay long term.
