    Qualification- Well I have a levels in Media(moving image) and am hoping to continue studying at university next year.

    So far I have been an au pair, which was a terrible experience and one I never wish to repeat. I now do some teaching but I haven't been given a contract yet and have not been paid as of yet, have been working for more than a month. I have an interview for another job next week *fingers crossed*

    I can speak basic finnish and some short sentences and I attend Finnish langauge classes twice a week.

    Qualification: Communication Bsc with several other post-graduate studies on marketing, advertising, filmmaking and e-communication stuff...

    I have worked mainly on the turistic sector in HKI, thanks to my other languages skills.

    Currently I'm begining to speak more Finnish, actually this week I surprised myself after having some long conversation on the bus back home... OK simple phrases and slow but I felt pretty emotioned...

    I am an industrial engineer. After graduation i picked a EU social project in Lieto Municipality. It was totally different comparing my occupation. But i totally wanted to come to Finland and enjoyed my whole time there.

    So my work was comunicating teenagers, in one sentence. I was acting like youth leader which creates events, social activites, organizing trips. Also we did a big event called EU ROOTS in Naantali. We worked cooperationally with Naantali Municipality. Now it is being held annualy, it became tradition of European Voluntary Service participants in Turku region.

    Now i'm back home and doing my job. By the way i'm looking forward to go there for MS degree programs. Also it's kind an emotional decision which my sympathy of Finland takes a part!
