New for you: Smart job search expands your opportunities
Does job hunting feel repetitive: the same job titles, the same CV, the same questions in your mind? YTK Spark’s new, surprisingly smart job search helps you find jobs based on your skills – not just job titles. You can find jobs and roles that suit you but that you might not have thought of yourself. This is particularly important now that working life and job descriptions are changing at an ever-increasing pace.
Effective job hunting is not just about fitting into a ready-made box, but about learning to see your own skills in a new light. We also call our new service surprising job hunting. With its help, you may discover that your career path is not as narrow as you thought. The same skills that you have associated with only one profession may open doors to many others.

“The best thing about reading is that it helps me relax. I usually wake up before everyone else in the morning, so I have time to read in peace. If the book has a good plot, it’s even more fun to read.”
Kalle, 4th grade
At YTK, we have highlighted the importance of reading and literacy in working life through our Side Effects campaign. YTK is based in Loimaa, which is also home to Finland’s most avid young readers!

Did you ask AI about unemployment benefits?
More and more people are turning to AI for answers about unemployment benefits. However, these answers do not always reflect reality. For example, the processing times and payment dates for daily allowance applications are subject to change, and legislative amendments can make interpretations complex. Even if the AI’s answer seems clear, it may be wrong. So always check our website for the latest information.
