työurahistoria

Työurahistoria, often translated as work history or employment history, refers to the documented sequence of an individual's jobs, occupations, and employers over their lifetime. It typically includes details such as the names of companies or organizations, job titles held, dates of employment, and sometimes brief descriptions of responsibilities and accomplishments. This information is crucial for various purposes, including job applications, background checks, and understanding an individual's career progression.

In Finland, the concept of työurahistoria is particularly relevant in the context of employment and social security. Employers often request a detailed work history when considering candidates for new positions, as it provides insight into their experience and skills. Official records of employment, such as those maintained by pension providers, also serve as a form of työurahistoria and are used to calculate retirement benefits and other social entitlements.

The collection and presentation of one's työurahistoria can take various forms. A curriculum vitae (CV) or resume is a common document used by individuals to present their work history to potential employers. More formal documentation may be available through official channels, providing a comprehensive overview of an individual's entire working life. Understanding and managing one's työurahistoria is an important aspect of career management and navigating the Finnish labor market and social welfare system.
