EURES - Job opportunities in Finland and Europe

With guest Tina Sundqvist

EURES (European Employment Services) is a meeting place for people and jobs, where you can find information and services related to employment. They organize European Job Days, international job affairs online and on site, and provide advise for people moving from one country to another. 

What European countries are Finnish job seekers currently interested in, and from what countries are people moving to Finland at the moment? Which are the fields of expertise and sectors needing a lot of workers these days, in the European job market. We also discuss the main differences in job seeking and working life in general – between Finland and other EURES countries.
