INTERCULTURAL COUPLES AND EMPLOYMENT, INTEGRATION, AND WELL-BEING
|
In our Path Ambassador interviews, we heard about the paths of 14 people, both Finns and foreigners, who wanted like to share their experiences on the path to employment, integration, and well-being in Finland, together with their partners. During the interviews we talked about themes including intercultural life, Finnish language, relationships, and networks, and well-being, as well as employment.
To sum everything up, below we gathered some of our Path Ambassadors’ tips on employment that can be of some help to you. Attend events even if they are in Finnish, as you will still have the opportunity to network with other professionals in your field. Modify your CV according to requirements mentioned in a job advertisement and showcase experience relevant to a position that you apply for. Be optimistic and don’t blame yourself for slow progress in language learning or not being able to find employment yet. Integration comes with time and it is important to take care of yourself and appreciate what you are doing and what has already been done on the path to integration. |
