Networking that actually works in Finland
Many professionals send dozens of applications and hear nothing back. Others build conversations, and find opportunities without formally applying at all.
On April 2, we’re hosting a session about networking in Finland, not the “collect business cards” version, but the kind that leads to real work.
Our guest, Roham (Ro Malek) Malekzadehbagheri, is a media and video producer who has worked with ELY-keskus, TE-toimisto, and the City of Helsinki. Roham has already held 7 professional roles in Finland, so he has plenty of real experience to share🔥
During this session, we’ll talk about:
• How networking actually works in the Finnish context
• Why many international professionals misunderstand it
• How to build long-term professional trust, not just contacts
• How LinkedIn can become a real career tool, not just a CV
• How Roham built and maintains a strong professional network
• Practical examples of conversations that turned into jobs
Roham is a mid-level producer working inside high-accountability public institutions, where communication carries legal and reputational weight. His career is built on trust, consistency and relationships, not mass applications.
This session is for you if:
• You feel stuck sending applications
• You want to understand how hiring really happens in Finland
• You want to build meaningful professional connections
• You are ready to approach networking more strategically
