Looking for a job in the MEDIA sector

Post by AshWil » Fri Aug 05, 2011 2:38 am

Hello

I am a 25 year old from Greece, and my profession lies in the sound engineering field.
Been working as a sound engineer for a TV channel here in Greece for the past 2 and a half years.This has allowed me to expand my working experience as i now also work as a video editor, as well as a master control operator in live broadcasts.

On top of that i was put in charge of organising the building of a new radio station here.

However, i also work as a F.O.H. or monitor sound engineer in live venues as well as recording and producing music.

Lately i've been looking into moving to Finland. Unfortunately i don't speak any Finnish at all.

So what are the odds? Any chance of finding a job on my field of interest? Tips, comments, words of advice are highly welcome!

Thanks in advance

As far as I know the media world in Finland is a very closed community.
If you don't know someone it is difficult to find a job.
When you don't speak Finnish I guess it is next to impossible.
