Why is Finding jobs in Norway difficult by skatellyn15
Hi everyone, why is it hard to find jobs in norway. Even the cleaning jobs they require language. As a foreigner im getting lost hope here and its really depressing. I feel like im regret moving here. Is there someone can give me advice on how you ...
Yeah, only way to get a job without the language is if you have skills that are in very high demand. From and employer's point of view it just doesn't make sense to hire someone that doesn't speak Norwegian if there's other people that speak it ... Read More
Would being an autistic woman prevent me from moving to Norway? by porcelainqueen
Per the post tile, it can be assumed that I'm a mildly autistic woman and I'm high functioning. Is it possible that my condition may prevent me from moving to Norway in the future? I know it may prevent me from moving to NZ and the like.
As long as you can get a job, being autistic or not is not relevant to the process. Not sure about NZ, that seems unusual. Read More
Being convincing to an employer in Norway by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Finding a job in Norway is no easy feat. From applying for a job all the way to job interviews, the etiquette can be different abroad. Specially job interviews, that can already be pretty daunting, can feel even worse when set in ...
Interviews are normally done with lunch or dinner. Bringing a parent is common and very accepted. A small gift is often expected, like a flower, some eatable like cheese, or perhaps a book.Ok, I usually do not post, but this is just going to get you ... Read More
Hello everyone by Aseel9
Could anyone please give me some information about norway
I am still quite sure the oil industry induced gdp is not 60% of the country's economy :) Read More

The oil fund is called oil fund because the money in it came from the oil industry, not because its value is based on oil :) Currently it's valued over 1 Trillion USD. I'd say it's healthy. Currently the state is curbing spending, which ... Read More

Religion, how big a part of it is it? by LoreleiLee
Hiya, I recently saw on wiki that Norway is something like 70% Evangelical. I am not religious. How much does religion effect everyday life? I noticed that most shops are shut in Sunday. Is there a stigma against people who aren't religious? ...
Don't publicly swear, don't publicly preach, don't go full burzum. You'll be fine then :P Read More
Hello everyone by Aseel9
Could anyone please give me some information about norway
I would not be so negative about the situation in general. The government is definitely more strict now and unskilled jobs are more difficult to find. This is mainly to the oil industry having let go a number of people and most jobs being taken by ... Read More
In retrospect, would you move again to Norway? by Christine
Hi all, If you had to look back on your expat experience in Norway, would you heartily say "letÂ’s do it again"? From the preparation stage to your actual everyday life in your new country, what did you enjoy the most? Would you do certain ...
I would not mind the tax if they actually spend it on better healthcare, infrastructure, education and nursing. Instead they want to spend in on giving it away to other countries or sports!!!!Better than how it is? :| Read More

Gary you are the one who said "ugh...come on" and then proceeded to make out those who oppose high taxation are somehow "unreasonable." I personally oppose all taxation and have realised that taxation at any level is theft ... Read More

Personally I would move again, I have been here 3 years and I feel more at home here than I have ever been in my home country. Norway is a social democracy with little to no religious influence. If that is the kind of environment one likes then it ... Read More
