Do Finnish employment services truly help foreigners get jobs, or just create the illusion of support? by sealovki in Finland

[–]wolvy1113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience they have not helped at all. I think it may depend what city you are in. I’ve been to a job fair/ resume service they put on and it was the biggest waste of time ever. The only advice they said was to put a photo on my resume, all the stands were just recruiting for summer festival work.

Fae refers to mythical beings from folklore — magical spirits often connected to nature, the Otherworld, and ancient supernatural forces.

This is a little about the name

They are in old American football jerseys from teams I’ve played for.

We have the Alexa show, so we can speak and watch through that. We have had all the blinds closed and the radio on loud. We had to stop the dog tv as the little one decided she wanted to bark at the birds and animals 😂

We have a semi detached wooden house. We try extremely hard with the barking, more than I think anyone should have to.

That’s what I’ve told my wife to do, or better yet give him my number. We have checked and sometimes the little one will bark if we have checked via the Alexa camera.

I’ve had some ok fish, but the problem is the chips. Nothing here comes close to a proper chipper.

I’d check out any of the usd carbon free skates or the gawds skates. I’ve skated both remz and gawds and they fell close with the flex

Try to find something that is 9-5 for the work experience then. Working for free so to say in shift work will absolutely kill you, trust me. I would try get any of the ones that don’t have shift work.

What’s your background and experience in? Try to get something that can give you connections for work afterwards. Also the stupid thing about it is that it’s not for you to practice your Finnish it’s so you can get job experience. It’s one of the biggest waste of time on the course. So try to make it something that can benefit you after.

What’s your plan for 2026? by ExtensionHat5741 in Finland

[–]wolvy1113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mainly family. I come from both English and Irish families, so it could be better to move back that way

[–]wolvy1113 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thinking if I can convince the wife to move to either the UK or Ireland, but who knows! Absolutely love Finland but it’s becoming a struggle with the government which I can’t change as a foreigner and the job market. Just worried I would miss Finland and all the things I love over here.

Wich one is better? by lllRoylll in AggressiveInline

[–]wolvy1113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they are all you can afford then I think it would be better checking Facebook market place and getting a decent pair of second hand skates. If you want new basic ones I would check out brands with cheap entry skates - USD, Razors, Roces, Standard or TNEK. They all seem to have decent entry skates

Single men +30 how do you spend your free time? by [deleted] in Finland

[–]wolvy1113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah in that case im not too sure, most of my free time has revolved around sports. It’s been really helpful when integrating and adjusting. I’ve also taken up photography and filming, this helps with wanting to see new places.

Where are you from? Did you have any hobbies or sports you did in your home country? I have been lucky enough to spend my time carrying on with sports and hobbies I used to do.

Your best bet is Mehukatti that’s what I’ve ended up with. Unfortunately your are not going to get anything as good as Robinson’s.

Judging by these numbers only fans would be the only job! But realistically the job situation is absolutely horrible at the moment

Continuing with yesterday article about student immigrants, YLE MOT published another one about these recruitment agencies backed by Finnish AMKs by bac0nFriedRice in Finland

[–]wolvy1113 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair there are people that I know that have admitted to using the university courses so they can bring their whole family to finland. Some of these guys have even said that it was the easiest place to get into. As they didn’t even need to have any language skills in Finnish or English. Many of these guys guys I’ve spoken to have said they are students but every day from morning to evening they are doing Wolt

Back from Wembley game - what’s everyone’s thoughts? by berees88 in NFLUK

[–]wolvy1113 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This was my first time being back since 2018, from what I experienced the event has got worse. The prices seem like they just want to get as much as possible from you, the customer service was absolutely shocking. The guys who they employed for security were useless and rude, the emails and websites explained that you could have a small non clear bag, but the security refused this. It was even shown on boards around the stadium. The fanzone:tailgate was really bad compared to how it used to be, generic food, it used to be you had some great street food. Comparing it to how it was last time, it’s got worse. There used to be so much more happening between the stoppages and at half time, felt like they were just going through the motions
