Do you need comments on your job application? Would you like some advice about traineeships/internships? Does your CV or LinkedIn profile need some adjustment?

A drop-in session with the career coach is an open and relaxed online meeting. Join and ask about job hunting or internships and get tips on your CV and job application.

There are no requirements, and we will adapt the contents according to the wishes of those who join the session. Discussions may open a new point of view in working life.

Are you an international student, staff member, or researcher? Do you have any questions, or is there some advice or guidance you are looking for regarding life at the university, or living in Oulu in general that you just can’t seem to find?

Welcome to the Career Centre every Wednesday from 12:00–13:00!

The University of Oulu’s Arctic Advisors will be available to provide help and guidance about life in Oulu, your studies, life, hobbies, or even confidential assistance with translating documentation or letters you receive in Finnish. Or, if you just want someone to have a chat with, that’s fine too.

The University of Oulu’s Arctic Advisors are here to help ensure that your transition to university life and life in Oulu is as smooth and problem-free as possible. We can’t promise that we have all the answers, but we might just be able to help point you in the right direction.

For more information, contact david.delahunty(at)oulu.fi
