Hi,
I'm a Spanish cook working in Finland.
I was working in Helsinki for a while until I got almost burned out, then moved to a smaller city for several reasons, not all of them of a professional character, even before moving I applied to work in nearly 15 places (pretty much every place open at the time), after a month being here a friend helped me to land a temporal job (0 hours contract, meaning that neither company nor I would promise a minimum amount of hours to be worked, but without a end date in the contract), and I got in line for getting into a Finnish course from the Finnish work ministry.
Now, they really liked me in the new workplace, and have been working around 30 hours a week with them, but I'm not excited at all about it, the education needed is way below mine, the kitchen is quite old, don't like the work schedules, and they pay the base minimum, anyways, after a month working here I was offered a manager position but feeling that I was not yet recovered from my last work place and I wasn't excited about this one I declined, co-workers are generally ok, I really do my best to make work easy for my mates so I've been quite decent with them working some unwanted shifts and going on close notice to work if someone has gotten sick or the account of work was surprisingly high, but the manager took already the liberty to ask me to make some extra work without the extra payment and I'm growing wary of it.
The Finnish course is really interesting because there was at least two good work positions that contacted me (with one I went as far as the interview) but my lack of language skills were deal breakers, and during the Finnish course I'm looking forward to have a "normal schedule" after working all my adult life in gastronomy, on the other hand, the course would take 8 months, and during that time I'd have a quite limited income, I was hoping on it to start on the first week of January but it starts the 1.3 and even if I'm in the waiting line is not sure that I'll get into it.
I feel in a cross road, I really don't want to work more than I'm doing now in my current work place, but if I keep this ratio of earnings/(basic) expenses my savings will be meager when I start the course, and probably inexistent when I finish it, finding another work place with similar contract but better salary is unlikely, and starting a full time contract anywhere feels pointless if I'm to start the Finnish course one month afterwards, I also ignore if finding a full time job would take me out of the line for the Finnish course.
I was the one ending my last contract, so that month I moved and was between jobs came out of my pocket and since then I haven't my had any decent income.
I've been showing clear signs of burn out until last month, I took the opportunity with this 0 contract and took a few days off to visit family, which was needed, and planned before this situation, and I feel better nowadays, but sometimes I don't feel entirely same at our after work, and I'm starting to think about a change of career, the hostelery industry is really ******up, even in the fairest place I've worked I've been doing 12 hours shifts without breaks in a regular basis; was hoping that the Finnish course would give me time to think about it.
It looks like whatever I do it's going to be really tiresome and a big economic set back and honestly seen it coming has become quite stressful.
Is there some insight I'm missing? Would it be wise to apply to other work places and see what happens? Or should I suck it up and take the position I don't want anyways and wait until I grow fond of it or take a burn out leave? At this point I feel that either in missing something or got myself in quite a pickle.
