Finnish job ad explainer: understand any Finnish job ad in plain English
Paste a job ad written in Finnish. You get a short English summary of what the employer actually asks for: the must-haves, the nice-to-haves, the language requirement, the contract and salary details, and how to apply.
- Must-have vs nice-to-have requirements
- Finnish, Swedish and English language requirements
- Contract type, hours, salary and TES hints
- Deadline, contact person and what to send
Free, no account. The ad text is sent to our AI provider only to create the explanation and is not stored by JobFitCV. Limited to a few explanations per hour.
Why Finnish job ads are hard to read
Many jobs in Finland are advertised only in Finnish, even when parts of the work could be done in English. Machine translation helps with single words, but it often hides what matters: whether a requirement is a must-have (edellytämme) or only a plus (eduksi katsotaan), what level of Finnish is expected, and what a phrase like palkkaus TES:n mukaan means for your pay.
The explainer turns the ad into a short checklist so you can decide quickly whether to apply, what to emphasize in your CV, and what to ask the contact person.
From explanation to application
When the ad fits, continue to the CV tailoring tool. JobFitCV rewrites your real experience around the ad using Finnish CV conventions and writes a matching cover letter in English or Finnish. It never adds Finnish skills or experience you do not have. See also the guides on how to write a CV for Finland, Finnish job ad terms explained, and applying for jobs in Finland without Finnish.
FAQ
Is the Finnish job ad explainer free?
Yes. You can explain a few job ads per hour without an account or payment. Tailoring your CV and cover letter to the ad starts with a free preview; full tailorings are paid.
Is this a word-for-word translation?
No. It summarizes what the employer asks for in plain English: required and nice-to-have skills, language requirements, contract type, salary information, and how to apply. Finnish terms that matter are listed with short explanations.
Can it tell me whether I can apply in English?
It reports what the ad says about languages and gives an honest reading of it. If the ad does not say, it tells you so. When in doubt, contact the person named in the ad; asking questions by phone or email is normal in Finland.
Do you store the job ad?
No. The text is sent to our AI provider only to create the explanation and is not saved by JobFitCV. Do not paste personal data.
Can the explanation be wrong?
AI explanations can contain mistakes. Always check the original ad for exact requirements, dates, and contact details before you apply.
