Energy itself is a winning strategy. It translates to an initiative in an employers eyes, which is something that cannot be taught.


Can confirm. Energy is about the only way I could rely on myself to crack open a totally foreign job market with less than a year of experience under my belt when I was starting out. I set myself the goal of 10 applications a day, every day, anywhere in Finland was acceptable -and within 3 months I had my first offer.


Applying to Finland from where?


Technically still from Finland, I was already physically there. But legally, from the US.
