Who it is for

Time per page: 15 to 30 minutes Whole course: 3 to 4 hours, at your own speed This is for you if: - You just started a job in Finland, Sweden, Norway or Denmark - It is your first Nordic role, possibly your first job after moving here - You are somewhere between week 1 and month 3 and suspect you are meant to be doing something you are not sure about If you are past month 3 but before a promotion, most of it still applies. ---

The situation you work through

Tuan, a product designer who moved from Hanoi to Tampere, spends his first 26 weeks at Vuoksi Software setting up week one, reading the room, learning what his manager Elina tracks, and preparing his trial review.

Your practice task

Write your own first-90-days plan for the job you are in or about to start: where you are and when your trial ends, what you will set up with a date for each action, which red flags apply to you, and how you will ask for your trial review. Submit the plan (500 to 1,500 words) with the one action you will take this week.
