Many people, especially those who live in the immediate vicinity of the border with Finland, quite often wonder how to get a job in neighboring Suomi. Indeed, working in Finland is very attractive in terms of salaries and quality of life. Why not work, especially since it is not so difficult to find an employer in this country.
Instructions
Step 1
For a long time and a high level of performance
For example, if you are a highly qualified professional and intend to work in a high-level position, and for a long time, you will need a residence permit. However, Finnish officials are loyal to such applications, and your employer, if he is really interested in you, will always provide the necessary assistance. Therefore, write a resume and send it to specialized Finnish companies - let this be the first step towards getting a job in Finland.
Step 2
You can start applying for a residence permit only after receiving an official job invitation from a Finnish employer. Already in Finland, you will need to submit to the embassy / consulate a special completed application form for obtaining a residence permit, attach to it an invitation to work from the employer, as well as pay a fee of 200 euros. If you are denied a residence permit, this money will be returned to you.
Step 3
For seasonal work that does not require skilled labor
In this case, you do not need to obtain a residence permit. You can go picking berries and mushrooms, strawberries and peas. The season for such work begins in April and ends in September. Most often, employers prefer to hire students for this kind of work. Payment, accommodation and meals are provided by the employer and it already depends on him what conditions you will live in and how well you will eat. Most often, information about such work can be obtained through word of mouth - from those who have already worked in Finland.
Step 4
Other types of work
In Finland, you can get another job - you don't have to crawl through strawberry plantations or paddle through the swamps picking cranberries. To do this, you will need an invitation from your employer, and you will be limited in time - without a residence permit, a Russian citizen can stay in Finland for no more than three months.
Step 5
At the moment, the most active consumers of foreign labor are companies related to IT technologies, construction and agriculture. The hotel, restaurant and tourism business, social services (mainly nurses and paramedics are required) are stepping on their heels.
Step 6
Information on vacancies can be found on the website of the Finnish Ministry of Labor at mol.fi. You can also get information about possible employers in Petrozavodsk. Some time ago in the capital of Karelia the Information Center for the mobility of labor resources and students began its work, the office of which is located in the Ministry of Labor of the Republic of Karelia.
