The most frequently discussed topics, that are almost always in the core of the discussions when it comes to career paths and taking the first steps: <em>how to create a coherent image of yourself as a professional, and how to sell and brand your competences to employers? Also, how does a certain field work in Finland, and which competences are appreciated in the field? How to update and supplement those competences if necessary?<\/em> I will share some thoughts concerning these topics below.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u00a0are you made of?<\/h2>\n<p>Knowing your skills and assets can take you far in today\u2019s\u00a0working life\u00a0(1). To create a coherent image of you as an expert in your field, you could start by searching answers e.g. to these questions:\u00a0<em>What\u00a0are your interests? Where are you good at? Which are your core skills and competences? What can you do with them? Which are concrete examples of your talents?\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is\u00a0also beneficial to strive to understand how your competences position you\u00a0in your field in the Finnish context (2), as different skills might be appreciated, different applications used, or different educational level required. Finding out about the educations in your field gives you an image of the skills set that is valued and offered by the Finnish degrees. To perform a detailed comparison between your skills acquired in e.g. a degree in higher education and the Finnish counterpart, have\u00a0a look at the curricula open for all at the websites of the higher education institutions.<\/p>\n<h2>Do you know your field of expertise in Finland?<\/h2>\n<p>It is important to understand the characteristics of the field you aim to, as fields can be different between countries. There are multiple ways to access information, but one could be through the organizations functioning in\u00a0your\u00a0field in Finland. You can get information\u00a0e.g.\u00a0about the different companies\u00a0operating in your field.\u00a0Another good way to get information is to go through the open job vacancies ads, as they give you information of what the employers are looking for. Remember, that you don\u2019t have to tick every box to apply.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mamuko.fi\/mentorointiohjelmat\">Different mentoring\u00a0programmes<\/a>\u00a0exist to give you an opportunity to connect with an expert from your own field to add to your field-specific knowledge, but also the opportunity to find out more e.g. about the\u00a0practices for applying for a job\u00a0and contacting interesting employers with an open application.\u00a0 Overall, networking is a key skill in today\u2019s working life.<\/p>\n<h2>Where can you update your skills set?<\/h2>\n<p>At the moment, the pressure to continuous self-development and learning is strong\u00a0in Finland, as job descriptions are more and more complex and multidisciplinary (1).\u00a0This applies to everyone, not only immigrants.\u00a0After mapping your competences, comparing them with the competences gained through the local degrees, and familiarizing yourself with the competences the working life requires, it might be easier to understand what kind of completing of your skills could benefit you.<\/p>\n<p>Options to build up your expertise could be e.g. open university\/university of applied sciences studies, different educational opportunities offered by the TE-office or degree studies in an educational institution. Supplementary studies do not only increase your expertise, but also help you build up your networks and knowledge of your own field. (5.)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.metropolia.fi\/tutkimus-kehittaminen-ja-innovaatiot\/hankkeet\/valmentavasta-valmiiksi\/#jfmulticontent_c46427-6\">Preparatory educations for immigrants aiming for studies in higher education<\/a> can give you an intensive Finnish language learning opportunity.<\/p>\n<h2>How to brand and sell yourself?<\/h2>\n<p>The ability to brand yourself and to sell your skills is crucial, especially because it might be that the employers do not know what skills your degree completed abroad has given you.\u00a0Research shows, that the employers find it difficult to comprehend the true skills of the immigrant applicants\u00a0(3).\u00a0At the same time, the capacity and potential of immigrants is not in full use (4).<\/p>\n<p>Building your cv towards\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/enhancv.com\">a skill based cv<\/a> could help. Instead of focusing only on the formal degrees you have completed, in a skill based cv you focus on outlining the key skills the degree and everything else in your life has given you. The emphasis is in describing how you convert all that learned into practice, with the help of practical examples from your personal history. Don&#8217;t forget to add in the results you have gained during your work history. (6)<\/p>\n<h2>Sources<\/h2>\n<p>1 Hakala, L.
