Job Hunt Advice for internationals
We'll be at the event with our stand all day and evening to answer your questions about looking for work in the North.
If you prefer face-to-face support in your job hunting journey, this is a great way to find us!
Come find us and we'll be happy to give you all possible tips and tricks! 💚
At StartFest, you’ll be able to recognize the companies that hire internationals by the “Make it in the North” flag on their table, so you can navigate the event by yourself. But if you'd like some help, you can come by our stand for a chat or some advice.
When we have a list of companies in attendance that are open to hiring internationals, we will put it right here!
While not all companies at the event have jobs in English right now, it's a great idea to chat with them so you can expand your professional network. Meet people, add them to your LinkedIn, and you increase your opportunities to find a job in the North!
