hakea töitä

to look for work

The process of applying for a job.

🌍

문화적 배경

Finns often use 'avoin hakemus' (open application) to 'hakea töitä' even when no job is advertised. This is a key part of the 'hidden job market'. The 'Jante Law' influence means that when you 'hakea töitä', you should be confident but not arrogant. Focus on facts and skills. Summer jobs (kesätyöt) are a major cultural phenomenon. Almost all teenagers 'hakevat töitä' in early spring. Most job hunting happens on platforms like LinkedIn, Duunitori, or Oikotie. 'Hakea töitä' is now almost synonymous with online activity.

💡

Use the plural

Always default to 'töitä' (plural) when talking about job hunting in general. It sounds more natural to Finnish ears.

⚠️

Consonant Gradation

Remember that the 'k' in 'hakea' disappears in 'haen', 'haet', 'haemme', and 'haette'.

'Hakea' implies a formal application process, while 'etsiä' is just the act of looking. You 'hakea' a job, but you 'etsiä' your lost keys.

It's in the partitive plural because job hunting is an ongoing, indefinite process involving potentially many jobs.

Yes, but it's informal. Use it with friends, not in a job interview.

You say: 'Haen töitä Nokialta' or 'Haen Nokialle töihin'.

It is neutral. It's appropriate for both a casual chat and a formal document.

The past tense is 'hain' (I applied).

No, Finnish uses case endings. You apply 'into' a place (illative case).

Usually no. For volunteering, you would say 'hakeutua vapaaehtoistyöhön'.

The word is 'työnhakija'.

Yes, it covers all types of employment.
