Let Me Finnish: Living International in Finland Antonio Santiago

In this episode, I'm excited to bring a guest from Wolt, Finland's food delivery service, and my favorite app during quarantine. She's here to talk to us about the nitty gritty of hiring for tech roles, some tips and tricks for landing a job as an immigrant in Finland, and how to stand out in the application process.
