Creating opportunities by staying true to yourself online webinar
Everyone tells us to network in Finland. However, how does that actually work? Is it showing up, talking to a lot of people, collecting LinkedIn profiles? What if networking could be simplified? Simplified by using your own goals, dreams, and personality to guide you towards those who wish to collaborate with you?
Join Lidiia and Joppe to discuss how to create opportunities, staying true to yourself.

He has worked as a recruiter, Chief of happiness, and career counselor and done countless workshops on networking for opportunities for both foreigners as well as for Fins. Now he has his own company called Artiqula where he helps companies to locate and re-engage disengaged employees.

Respect – Everyone's experiences and perspectives are valuable. We listen actively and support each other.
Constructive Feedback – Feedback should be kind, specific, and focused on growth.
Confidentiality – What is shared in the session stays in the session.
Active Participation – Even if you’re not the one being interviewed, think about how you would answer and take notes for future improvement.
To keep the discussion meaningful and private, this workshop is limited to 30 participants.
Important: To volunteer, tick the box in the registration form. If multiple people sign up, priority will be given to the first registrant. This workshop is for job seekers located in Finland.

ATS Q&A session with Leo Heydon Lancelot Johansson-Stockford
Job seekers in Finland often wonder: How can I create a CV that passes ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) without being rejected? Questions like "Are Canva-designed CVs ATS-friendly?" or "Should I hide keywords in invisible text to get noticed?" are common in career conversations.
But where does this advice come from? Workshops, career coaches, or services targeting job seekers—not recruiters. In fact, have you ever heard a Finnish recruiter say, "Our ATS automatically rejects candidates"?
To clear up the confusion, we are diving into this topic with an expert recruiter. Together, we’ll explore what ATS systems really do, debunk myths, and share actionable tips to help you stand out—without resorting to invisible keywords.
Join us for the ATS Q&A session with Leo Heydon Lancelot Johansson-Stockford.
When: 16.01.2025 at 17:30 at
