Extra Lecture
January 25th, 2022
Integrating into Finnish society and work-life
On this date, I attended a lecture with coach and facilitator Francis Oyeyiola, who talked about his experience as an international finding a job in Finland. It was especially interesting because I could relate most of his challenges at the beginning of his settling in Finland with the things I have been through since I arrived. Despite not being part of the International Talent Programme schedule, I thought it was interesting to report my take-aways from this lecture here.
● Going out, engaging in new activities (sports, music, dance, among others), and creating a social network by showing people who you are, what you like, etc.
● Avoid prejudice or judgment when meeting new people. When you judge, you tend not to listen to other people. Every person you meet has something to teach you.
● Create a nice CV and be active on Linkedin.
● Immersing into Finnish life and culture, getting familiar with music, literature, history, and other aspects that are important for understanding the place we live.
● Planning your career and projecting the place you want to be in a couple of years from now.
