Finland-anti foreigners attitudes?????

[Hank W.]

You forget the C++ = RRHWS... big company/diplomat housewives, the creme de la creme...

So, 9 years and you don't speak Finnish, eh?

hello schrecher,,,

Hi, Ngally.

7 years haven't experienced anything negative? may be you have..

yup. I can confirm nether me nor my family members never seen any aggression, discrimination, etc.

I believe people face discrimination if they miss behaving. For example, testing by his/her finger piece of cake at supermarket (I've seen such) or been drunk loudly speak non-Finnish language.

type C- a)those who came here with jobs already and are relaxed and don't know nothing about this country being hard for foreign people

My type by your clarification is "C". I came here for permanent contract (IT area).

btw, you missed one big category: wifes. There is great amount of women married on Finns.

I'd say "spouses". It is still more the "summer men" the Finnish women hunt and then abandon... "families section" has zakaria and espooman as the kittens recently.. "my wife have bay deport me"*.... the men have the mail-order-brides then. The women's situation is not any better.

*=and then people wonders why I do not support boyfriends import...

Thank you shretcher for your very kind and clever reply, you really seem like a type C..cause your replies are so kind, professional and smart if i can say so..you are very very lucky, pray for us too, that someday we can settle down and forget about the Job hunting stress.....
Hei Hunk, Kyllä minä puhun suomea,mutta en voi sano etta puhun sujuvasti, mutta se riita ja se auta minua niin paljon jokä päivä elamassa... mutta minun (kirjoitaminen taito???)writing skills on huono,......
By the way, Hank..you made me laugh so much with that type C of
wives..yes i do agree with you i forgot that one..and that has also some categories.....
A. Wives of diplomats, rich people and other expatriates who are ok even if they stay at home(most of them are not so well educated though,thus they don't suffer much from the "job hunting fever")there's enough money around them and they are not here to stay ANYWAY...
B. Wives of ordinary finnish people--who most of the time find themselves STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE..when they finnish their studies (if they do study)be it Bachelors,Masters or any of the free courses around them, THEN:-no work, no hope, they sit down and make kids, then kids grow and still no hope, no nothing and simply no LIFE...
in the end comes Permanent residence, stress and depression, cause the 3 usually come in the same package, BELIEVE ME ,,especially for those who study much and end up cleaning....

To the original poster: When you applied for the cleaning jobs, did you do it in Finnish or English?

[Ngally]

If it's any consolation, even the Finnish tradenomis are having hard time finding work, since there's an oversupply of graduates...
