Ronel Gebilga, from the Philippines, was looking for chef jobs in Finland and found his dream job as a chef at a well-known chain of service stations in Finland called ABC. Before he moved to Finland, he had worked as a chef in both the Philippines and the USA for a long time.

“I worked for two years in the United States. Hotels, resorts, and cruise ships gave me a lot of different kinds of work experience. Later, I started looking for work in Europe until I found Barona’s partner, EDI-staffbuilders. Ronel Gebilga says, “They helped me get a job in Finland at ABC Lahdesjarvi in Tampere.” The restaurant industry in Finland is constantly looking for new talent, and many chef jobs in Finland are open.

Barona invests in making foreign employees feel at home

Even though the family is far away, the new life in Finland has started to go smoothly. Barona’s professionals helped with authorities and paperwork related to immigration, making it easy to move to a new country.

“There’s no other agency like Barona, and they’ll never let you down. The people working at Barona took great care of me from the start and helped me with all the immigration paperwork. They even met us at the airport and made sure we had a nice place to stay. The hiring process went smoothly, and it was easy for me to move to a different country”, Ronel says, “Everything went as planned. I didn’t have to worry about anything.”

Finns are very friendly and helpful, and Barona has answered all my questions and helped me solve any problems that have come up.” To sum up, Ronel says, “I would definitely recommend Barona to other people who want to work in Europe because the company takes care of its employees’ futures.”
