Catch the hottest summer job NOW
Although the Christmas pudding leftovers may still lay in the fridge, the hottest season of finding a summer job is already here.
Thinking about summer and working?
Let Job Market Finland do the job –create a profile and let our AI recommend you a job that you can spend your summer with.
When creating your profile, don’t forget to mention your hobbies – the knowledge and skills you have gained on free time may be important when catching a good vacancy for summertime.
Find a hiding summer job
Make the most out of your networks –the people you know can help you to find the summer job of your dreams.
In addition, recruiting summer employees via social media is getting more popular year by year. Make sure you follow interesting employers and hashtags such as #rekry, #kesätyöt or #kausityö (especially if trying to find a summer job in Finland).
If you find an interesting employer but they have no vacancies on the internet or on other media, nothing will stop you from making a so called open application. Use a personal way to tell about your skills and objects of interest –after that, wait whether you are lucky enough to catch a good one. If you want to make a more memorable first impression, it is often a good idea to give the employer a phone call or visit their office.
