How does the Finnish job market function? What is the role of the trade unions? What is essential for finding a job in Finland? What do you need to take into account when starting your own business in Finland? How have international Aalto alumni found their ways into Finnish work life and what is the Finnish working culture like through their eyes?
Come to Aalto University Student Union’s career evening “My Career in Finland” 1 Dec 2015 at 5pm-9pm in Otaniementie 17 (TUAS-building) to hear the essentials of working in Finland and to meet and mingle with potential employers.

4. Torchlight procession of the Independence Day on 6 Dec
University students in the metropolitan area traditionally celebrate the Finnish Independence Day with a torchlight procession on 6 Dec. All are welcome to join the procession, torchlights are provided at the beginning of the procession. Associations can participate in the procession with their own flags.
The event instructions and schedule are available at http://itsenaisyyspaiva.ayy.fi/en/.
The schedule will be updated as soon as possible.
AYY traditionally provides the following services to its members:
Transport of flags:
Association flags must be delivered to the service point (Otakaari 11) by 4pm on Thursday, 3 Dec 2015 AND recorded in the transport list. Please make sure that you record your flag in the list, as we only bring the flags mentioned in the list. Flags are returned to the same place from where you can collect them by Wednesday, 9 Dec.
Flag carrying belts and sashes in the colours of the Finnish flag:
The Student Union can borrow a limited number of flag carrying belts and the blue and white sashes suitable for all flags. Reservations for the fastest ones to arkisto@ayy.fi. Equipment can be found next to the flags at the beginning of the procession.
During the procession, flag-bearers and heralds can leave their bags to the vehicle which drives to the Senate Square. When you leave your flag for the return transport, you can get your items back. Flag-bearers and heralds are not allowed to wear bags in the procession.
5. Aava’s shadow Independence Day reception
Did you not receive an invitation to the President’s Independence Day Reception even though you think you would have certainly deserved one? Don’t worry, AYY’s Community Section Aava invites all AYY’s members to the traditional Shadow Independence Day Reception at Yläkertsi in KY Building on 6 Dec 2015! We provide a delicious three-course menu, incredible company and certainly more drinks than what is offered at the real Independence Day reception. In order to guarantee a genuine Independence Day atmosphere, you can follow the Independence Day reception on the screen while having dinner! So find your suit or cocktail dress and come to celebrate the 98-year-old Finland! The link to the web store will be published in Facebook event https://www.facebook.com/events/1658227507795174/ at 12noon on 23 Nov. Be fast, as this party is at least as popular as the original!
Ps. It is easy to come to the event directly from the torchlight procession of university students 😉
6. OUBS training sessions: Basics of lighting, Wed, 18 Nov and documentary TV work Tue, 24 Nov
Basics of lighting training session covers the basics of lighting from the perspective of studio lighting. You learn how to use lights in different situations, such as interviews, panel discussions or when shooting a short film. We also go through the related terminology, electricity safety and the connecting of different light sources.

Documentary TV work is a workshop particularly aimed at cameramen and editors interested in work in the field. How can I make an interesting documentary production of the event X? What should I do in a filming situation? How do I film material that is easy to edit? Documentarist Vesa Rajala answers this and many other questions. Rajala has worked in different positions in more than 15 documentary TV productions.

Both training sessions are free of charge to all and they are organised starting at 6pm at Jämeräntaival 1 studio. Welcome!
