The program might slightly change, depending on the students’ needs and lecturers’ availability

The course is for you if:

  • You live in Finland and do not need relocation support

  • You are looking for a highly-educated job in English

  • You are ready to apply for jobs and do your homework

  • I participated in the December Get Your Dream Job course. My goal was to transition from academia to industry. During the course, Lidiia helped me prepare for interviews with a company, and I received an offer. Interestingly, soon after the course, I also received another offer from a well-known Finnish company. The support I received during the Get Your Dream Job course helped me secure a position at the company I had been dreaming of. I highly recommend participating in the course

  • If you want to save yourself time and the struggle of trying to find meaningful employment as an International in Finland, join Lidiia’s ‘Get your Dream Job in Finland’ course. Her workshops are thoughtfully planned with a lot of important information that would be difficult to find and collate on your own. There are so many directions you can take your job seeking journey but Lidiia’s course helps you decide your direction based on experience and advice from experts in Finland. It also provides your job seeking journey with more structure which along with her encouragement is very motivating.

  • I found the course extremely insightful, useful, and well-structured. I really appreciate all the effort put into making it so informative, covering all the key topics for job seekers in Finland. What I value the most is that for every step of the job search process, there is a logical system, actionable plans, templates, and real examples. My only regret is that this course didn’t exist earlier, as it would have saved so much time for job seekers here. Lidiia explains everything so clearly and provides up-to-date statistics and information.

I highly recommend Lidiia's course Get Hired in Finland. It was incredibly valuable to me. With my background as a Head of Department/Team Lead in an IT company, where I hired and interviewed people from time to time (though not as a recruiter or HR professional), I found myself facing new challenges when switching to the other side of the hiring process. Job searching is a distinct skill - one that doesn’t come naturally, but can be learned and mastered.

Lidiia’s course gave me a strong foundation for my job search. It covered all the key topics, including CV and cover letter writing, interview preparation, networking strategies, personal branding, and maintaining well-being during the job search.

What I particularly appreciated about the course:

  • A clear and well-organized structure that covered all the essential skills.

  • Lidiia’s teaching style and presentation skills - straight to the point, with clear speech and an engaging tone that keeps you focused.

  • The positive atmosphere and good vibes of the course - I genuinely looked forward to every session.

  • Lidiia’s personalized feedback on CVs, cover letters, and interview performance - highly professional, highlighting specific areas for improvement and growth.

This course is an excellent resource for anyone navigating the Finnish job market!
