Hello, I am Kristina and i am 27 years old. I am an Armenian and i study here in Finland. I have a Diploma Degree in Social-Cultural Service and i am nearly done with my Bachelors in Tourism. I am also a first year student for the BBA. I look for the part time job in Helsinki about 15-25 hours per week. I can speak Armenian, Russian and English. Unfortunately my Finnish is not in that good shape yet, but i am working on it. Have a working experience of translator in APP, receptionist in hotel , Laundry service and cleaner. I also volunteered for 2 years, for the NGO which works with disable children.
I prefer to get an office work offers or a customer care, but if you have any others u are welcome to introduce
Thanks in advance

Given that I'm generally quite opposed to badly written posts of this kind, I feel I must say that this is one of the best "looking for a job" posts I've seen on this forum, and probably on any other forum in general - You introduced yourself, explained your background, talked about your skills, and clarified the type of work you're looking for.
I sincerely wish you find something. Good luck.
Every case is unique. You can't measure the result of your application based on arbitrary anecdotes online.

First, you posted this on someone else's thread. Sigh. It's nice to start your own when it's a different subject.
Do I have information: Yes it's true. Did you actually bother to google for the answers to your questions?
Websites to find work:

Will you find one? You don't speak Finnish. And EU rules say no position can really be offered to you unless an employer is unable to fill the position with an EU citizen. Then the employer must wait months to see if your permit is approved before you can move. Employers hate this garbage. So you probably won't find anything.

Most of those links are for temp work. Remember that temp work is not possible without a residence permit FIRST and you won't get a residence permit based on temp work. The agencies sometimes have permanent positions which might make it possible, but it's rather unlikely they will want the bother of all the paperwork and waiting for someone without permission to work.
We can wish you all the luck in the world but you will probably not be able to make this happen.
Normally the answer for non-EU's who merely want to move to Finland to work is "sorry, you can't". Maybe you could do it by coming here as a student though.
