المعنى
Learning by doing something.
خلفية ثقافية
Finns value 'tekemällä oppiminen' (learning by doing). Saying you are 'hakemassa kokemusta' is often seen as more honest and respectable than claiming to be an expert too early. In job ads, you will often see 'mahdollisuus hakea kokemusta' (opportunity to seek experience), which is a polite way of saying the job is entry-level but offers growth. University students are expected to 'hakea kokemusta' through 'kiltojen' (student guilds) and other extracurriculars, not just through books. Finns living abroad often use this phrase to explain their move, framing it as a quest for 'kansainvälistä kokemusta' (international experience).
Use in CVs
Instead of saying 'I have no experience', say 'Olen aktiivisesti hakemassa kokemusta...' It sounds much more positive.
The Partitive Trap
Never say 'hakea kokemus'. It sounds like you are looking for one specific, single experience (like a single ride on a roller coaster).
