Job search

If you become unemployed or are laid off, register as a job seeker as soon as possible. If your municipality of residence is Riihimäki, Janakkala, Hausjärvi or Loppi, you will become a customer of the South Häme employment area. We will advise and guide you in your job search. As a job seeker, you can apply for unemployment benefits from Kela or your unemployment fund.

When you register as an unemployed job seeker, we will assign you a personal contact person, an employment counselor. This employment counselor will invite you to a discussion where he or she will draw up an employment plan with you. He or she will then monitor the implementation of the plan and meet with you at regular intervals. The employment counselor will update the employment plan with you every three months. You can contact your own employment counselor for all matters related to your job search!

To keep your job search valid, search for open jobs. Also look for hidden jobs, and create a job search profile on Työmarkkinatori.

Why create and publish a job search profile?

It is worth creating and publishing a job search profile for the following reasons:

  • When you post your job search profile, employers can contact you. This may allow you to land a job that is not publicly available.
  • You can apply for jobs anonymously. Your job search profile is anonymous unless you add links to your social media accounts, for example.
  • You will receive job suggestions that are just right for you. The more information you fill out in your job search profile, the more suitable suggestions you will receive for open positions.
  • You can also apply for jobs internationally on the EURES portal. You can easily add your job search profile to the EURES portal and receive suggestions for suitable jobs also outside Finland.
  • Artificial intelligence helps you describe your skills. The artificial intelligence-based functions of the Job Market suggest suitable keywords for you, which make it easier to verbalize your skills.
