How does a future employer view a candidate that learns Finnish in Finland?
I am going into the visual effects field. I graduated in December of 2006 and have not been able to get a job in creating visual effects. I haven't been able to complete the requirement of 2 years industry level experience since that's what all companies require. I have 4 years school experience with visual effects/ animation. I was interning at a production company, hoping to get a job from it. (I was only able to create animated titles for them in After Effects.) The company took some budget cuts and I knew that I would not get hired. I decided to take a break from interning and go abroad to Finland to learn Finnish. While in Finland, I am planing to look for internships and entry level jobs while learning the language. Does it look bad to a future employer that I decided to take a break from interning and working in Texas and escape to Finland to become fluent at the language?
Yes it does, for this reason.
Learning Finnish whether it is in the US or abroad serves what purpose in your career field?
The employer will see it as you wasting time not doing things career related. I would have stayed in the internship until they released me, then asked for a reference or an employment/intern opportunity with a partnering company.
You seriously screwed yourself on this one. Companies idealy want Employees with both experience and schooling but do realize that if you do one of them you lack the other one. As a result they are more likely to hire a candidate that has the experience and little to no schooling as he can for the most part hit the ground running with what he knows and pick up the rest as he goes along. You needed that internship, see if you can get it back
