How to Get Hired When Everyone Else Is Applying Too
As of February 2026, Finland has the highest unemployment rate in the EU, at 10.4%. On LinkedIn, a single job posting in Helsinki can get 100 to 600 applications, and typically only one candidate walks away with an offer.
So the real question isn’t “how do I apply for more jobs”. It’s “how do I stand out when everyone else is applying too”.
On November 24, we’re hosting a session with Lidiia Salo, career coach and founder of Get Hired in Finland. In this webinar, we’ll unpack how to stand out when every job posting gets hundreds of applications, from targeting the right roles to building a LinkedIn presence recruiters actually trust.
📅 November 24, 2026 | 12:00 EET (Helsinki time)
📍 Online | Live Q&A | Live Networking
During this session, we’ll talk about:
🔹 Why mass-applying stopped working, and what targeted applying looks like instead
🔹 How to tailor your CV to a job description without rewriting it from scratch
🔹 How to actually prepare for an interview instead of just hoping it goes well
🔹 What “networking with intention” means, and how it connects to the hidden job market
🔹 How to build a LinkedIn presence that builds trust instead of looking like everyone else’s
🔹 How to protect your mental health through a long job search
This session is for you if:
✨ You’re job searching in Finland right now and it’s taking longer than expected
✨ You feel like your CV and LinkedIn are “fine” but nothing is converting into interviews or offers
✨ You’re tired of mass-applying and want a more targeted approach
✨ You want practical tips, not just general advice
