Imagine you move to Finland, you have a degree from one of the best universities, have professional experience from the best companies – but still you don’t find a job in Finland. My interview guest Lidiia Salo is sharing her own story how she did not give up to get the right knowledge about the Finnish job market and talked to hundreds of people to find out what it takes to get hired in Finland.

Nowadays she runs her own company with exactly this name https://www.gethiredinfinland.com/ and successfully coaches other foreigners to get into employment quickly.

In this interview Lidiia is also sharing

• What you should know about Finland and the Finnish mentality for your job search
• What different aspects she covers as a career coach (CV review is only a minor part 😊)
• How critical she sees the current labour market development in Finland
• How to stay resilient and what are 3 practical tools to calm down your mind that you can apply right away

For those who are planning to pass the Finnish language test “Yki”, Lidiia also runs the project “Yki Pass” (https://ykipass.fi/).

If you are facing any mental challenges or even feel signs of burn-out from your job search, please check out the Abilitator test or the self-help programs from Mental Hub.
