Let this be very clear that if the purpose of the whole exercise is to make money in a foreign land than Finland would be your last choice. I have yet to come across a tree in Finland where I could gather Euros from. No doubt some individuals who have worked very hard (and when I say ‘very’ I want to stress fully on the word that it is indeed very hard to make money) to make money and study together. But those individuals have never bothered about the nature of job or how much was the pay from that work etc. You need to go round searching for working and knocking from door to door asking people if they need someone to help them with something.

This is of course the crudest form of way of looking for work. Another more organized manner could be that you make a resume (preferably in Finnish) and drop it in hotels, shops etc and hope that they call you or hire you. Like someone who has made some money here would say to me “Its about how you market yourself”.

1. University students are allowed to work for up to 25 hours per week without a work permit.

2. If you do not know Finnish, Norwegian, Russian or Swedish it can be very difficult to find an ODD job.

Part Time Job:-

ODD jobs are hard to find..but some ppl still do it ( cleaning [ 800 euro per month ] , paper delivery [ 400 euro per month max ] , restaurants [ 600 euro per month ] )...but usually students coming into masters program get their funded thesis quite early from which they can easily manage 800 to 1000 euro per month...or some of them get IT job from which they are earning around 1200 euro..Also some of them like me are doing internships(paid) .....

 Regular IT Job:-

There are lot of jobs for programmers like ( C, C++, Java, Symbian, S60 Mobile application development, Linux system programming)....but it does not mean that u get job in ur 1st week....u have to w8 for a good opportunity.....For Telecommunication Networks Jobs....i was taking to waqas Khattak bhai(Engr in Ericsson from Helsinki) n according to him,there are not so many jobs in this field.......u may get if u r lucky or get thesis in Nokia or ericsson but its not so frequent...
