Teemu Pitkäkoski
Hey!
I don’t show up pretending I know everything. I want to learn how core HR functions work so we can improve them. I’m looking for an HR Assistant or HR-coordinator role that offers hands-on experience across the field and allows growth on multiple parts of the employee journey. That’s the kind of role I’m looking for.
