No it's not Facebook related or a bad pick-up line...I really mean it!
What is Your Status?
The reason for me finding out what my status meant, is because I recently had an offer for a potential job with Arnold's as a franchisee.
How in the world did I get this offer? Remember that review I did awhile ago, of Arnold's in Turku and in Jyv�skyl�? (Click the above link to read it again if you wish!)
Well, I was requested to contact someone, who turned out to be one of the co-founders of Arnold's and is the current Managing Director.
After a meeting and several discussions via phone and email, I was offered a potential position as a franchisee of the Arnold's location downtown Jyv�skyl�.
Nothing is official or has been signed.
So after all these discussions, we realized one important factor: "Can I even work here in Finland?"
Off to the Finnish Police station I go! There's the Police station and there's the separate building across from it that's for licensing...and they have foreign assistance.
After a quick review of my current residence permit - there was confirmation that yes, I CAN work in Finland! AND there's no restrictions.
Why? Because my residence permit status starts with an "A". If my status started with a "B" - then it would've been a no go. (It was "B" status my first year here and is now an "A" status).
So by "no restrictions" - I was advised that I can work as many hours as I'd like and make as much money as I wanted....
I'll keep y'all updated on everything! Thanks for the support!
