KYKY & Co. Podcast: Recent Episodes
Iiris Ranta & Tina Pienkuukka
KYKY & Co. is a podcast about working life in Finland, focusing specifically on the topics of internationalisation, recruitment, and diversity and inclusion in the Finnish labour market. Are you applying for jobs in Finnish labour markets and are tired of 1) receiving no replies, 2) hearing your Finnish is still not fluent enough or 3) being told you should network more? If you’ve experienced it, we want to talk about it.
In the fourth episode of KYKY & Co. we discuss our Master's degree studies in Intercultural Communication (ICC) and Intercultural Management and Communication (IMCO) at the University of Jyväskylä. What is culture?
We would love to hear about your experiences. You can find our Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/147344740468714
In the third (surprise) episode of KYKY & Co. we discuss the recent articles published by Yle News, Helsingin Sanomat, and EVA Think Tank regarding International Talents, Finnish returnees, and the Home Care Allowance which is supposedly keeping immigrant women at home instead of in work.

In the second episode of KYKY & Co. we discuss the role of "networking" as a means of finding a job in the Finnish labour market. We also talk about how each of us prefers to network, who we network with, and the pros and cons of using LinkedIn and Twitter.

In the very first episode of KYKY & Co. we introduce ourselves and discuss our plans for the upcoming year, where we would like to move to if an opportunity arose for an interesting job, and how we feel about the current state of the "brain drain" and "talent attraction" in the context of the Finnish labour market.
