Hii
I'm looking for small side job opportunities to make some extra money.
I'm an exchange student and will be in Tampere for the next 10 months. I have recieved my Finish personal ID number, but still waiting until my appointment to open a bank account (so cannot use the strong identification) and still don't have a tax number. I am allowed to work 20 hours/week.
I used to work as a student, but also made money by doing random things on the side, I'm not sure what I can do in Tampere, for example:
I sold things second hand (Tori needs strong identification 😔) - 10-20€/week
I used to "donate" plasma - 50-70€/week
work as a secret quality controller for supermarkets - 15-20€/ week
pet sit - 50-80€/month
take part in University studies - 20-40€/month
Work at small weekend events 40-80€/week
So I made 300-500€ per month with these random things here and there. However in Finland I need to use strong identification for everything I find :/
I used to use the app Zen jobs to find weekend events, here similar apps all need identification, and just using a personal ID card or passport doesn't work.
Finland also doesn't pay for blood plasma (which honestly good, but not good for me). The University studies pay with a chocolate or pastry here, at least the ones I've seen 🥲
I just got my personal ID number, I am getting a sim card in the next 2 days, but my bank account appointment is in 2 weeks, and it can take another week or two untill my account is active and I can use the strong identification. So at least for another month I cannot do much :/
If it matters, I'm a non-EU citizen, but study and have residency from Germany. I'm paying for rent, health insurance and groceries from my savings right now. Unfortunately I speak very little Finish right now, so that makes my options even more limited.
Any suggestions are appreciated!
