what work experience do you have to offer? It is difficult to move here if you require a visa, unless you've got in-demand skills.

Well i have nearly 3 years experience as a manager for fast food. And while I have no degree for it I am good at carpentry. Really I suppose I would have to get lucky wouldnt I?

one thing to be aware of is that as we approach July, many places are very busy and then closed, unless they're directly related to serving tourists. July is "fellesferie", which is when many people take vacations.
but Finn and Linkedin are the best places to look for jobs. You're just at a disadvantage if you're not looking for specialty work because an employer will be hiring a European citizen over someone that requires a visa.

I use to work in Norway. I'm American living in UK. I lived in Norway (Stavanger) for 5 years. Most companies do not sponsor you. You need to apply through Agencies. Also check out Finn.com or better Google Agencies in Norway. I worked within both Shell and Statoil. But they too, only use agencies. It doesn't hurt to try sending out your resume/CV ( called here in Europe.
I wish you good luck. If you're persistent, you'll find something. Warm regards, Nancy
