• Come and get your CV photo taken by a photographer on campus! You can find the locations below and come at a time that suits you between 11 am and 1 pm.

• Suvi Pesonen (Communications Manager at Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment of North Savo, ELY-keskus in Finnish) will talk about the secrets of networking in LinkedIn which is a business and employment-oriented online service platform. The lecture will cover, for example, how LinkedIn works as well as why you should create a LinkedIn profile and how to create one for yourself. In addition, Roham Malekzadeh.B (an intern at the ELY Centre) will share his experiences with LinkedIn from the student perspective.

ISYY’s working life event is divided into four different days throughout the year 2022. The days will cover different topics from job hunting to skills needed in working life and we will have speakers as well as organise workshops. Some of the programme is in Finnish, but part of the days’ programme is aimed specifically at international students and is completely in English. You are of course welcome to join the Finnish lectures too!
