Language skills wanted by Finnish employers

Post by ppelk »

Thinking of finding a job in Finland?

2014 review of Finnish employers asked what language skills do they need in their companies.

Top of the list (% of companies):
Finnish 97 %
English 76 %
Swedish 47 %
Russian 29 %
German 14 %
Estonian 5 %
Chinese 4 %
French 2 %
Spanish 2 %
Italian 1 %
Portugese 1 %

Growth projected especially for Russian, Chinese and Estonian.

Funny, I can cover almost all of them, however, except for Finnish :-D

it's not actually what they need but what they use (i.e. 97% of companies use Finnish)

and there are plenty of jobs that don't require knowing Finnish (or knowing at a very basic level), like for most jobs which do not require interaction with customers you don't need it
