Advice and guidance on job search

Once you have registered as a job seeker, the Päijät-Häme Employment Services specialists will help you apply for and find work that matches your competence.

The Päijät-Häme Employment Services will arrange an initial interview for you, if possible, within five working days of the start of your job search. The initial interview will analyse your situation and you will receive an employment plan. In the interview, you and the expert will discuss, for example, what kind of jobs you could apply for or whether you need to acquire training or change fields.

The initial interview will also assess your service needs. The assessment of service needs is a key part of supporting your employment and directing you to services. Your service will be selected according to what best helps you find employment.

The Päijät-Häme Employment Services will organise five job search discussion with you every two weeks after the initial interview. However, there will be four job search discussions if the initial interview has been preceded by a supplementary job search discussion.

The Päijät-Häme Employment Services will organise a job search discussion with you every three months after the previous supplementary job search discussion. Between them, you apply for work independently or participate in services promoting employment in accordance with the employment plan.
