saada jalka oven väliin

to get a foot in the door

意思

To gain an initial opportunity.

🌍

文化背景

Finns value 'sisu' and 'näytön paikka'. Getting a foot in the door is seen as a humble but determined way to start a career. It's often achieved through formal education and internships. In the US, 'getting a foot in the door' is often associated with aggressive networking and 'elevator pitches'. It's a key part of the 'American Dream' narrative. In Japan, entering a company (shūshoku) is a very formal process. Getting a 'foot in the door' often happens through specific university-company pipelines. The German 'Fuß in die Tür' is used similarly to the Finnish one, often in the context of the 'Mittelstand' (small/medium companies) where personal trust is key.
