Tips for filtering open positions
In addition to searching based on the task area, type of employment, the language of the listing and job location, you can also search by using your own search terms. For example, if you want to save a search for the jobs of a specific unit or service point, you can use the name of the unit as your search term. However, please make sure that you do not use common words such as “daycare”, “school”, “hospital” or similar as search terms. For example, if you are searching for jobs at Daycare Kesäheinä, please use “Kesäheinä” as your search term without the word “daycare”.
