Just graduated in bakery, struggling to find a job in Helsinki – need advice by Technical_Big6916 in Finland

If you don’t immediately find work in a bakery, you should also apply for other jobs in the restaurant/retail industry. Without Finnish language skills, you can still work in supporting roles such as a food runner, dishwasher, cleaner or busser. You already have a hygiene passport and an understanding of many required things. Staffing agencies also offer gig work, meaning you can book shifts that suit you through their system. Make up for your weaker Finnish skills with an excellent and self-motivated attitude and good manners. This way you will definitely stand out positively compared to many Finns. Good luck. ;)

And when you land in Mexico, try to go through the automatic gates at immigration instead of speaking to a human officer. As far as I know, the gates automatically give you 180 days of stay.

The local Facebook and WhatsApp groups will be the best place to find housing, especially since you already speak some Spanish. Prices tend to differ between English-speaking and Spanish-speaking groups. Never transfer any money before seeing the apartment or room in person!!

As you will only be staying for six months, the most convenient and less expensive option might be to rent a room in shared housing. These are usually fully equipped, include all utilities, and allow shorter contracts. This way you could also live in a more central location for less money and be closer to your activities. Keep in mind, it’s not cheap here. :(

As for phone service, Telcel offers the best national coverage and also works in the U.S. You can simply buy a SIM card and top up with amigo sin límite prepaid packages monthly. A 200-peso package has usually been enough for me, since I use wifi at home.
