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 get work as a foreigner? Thank you

Answer is quite simple; learn the language! This is a major factor in most any country. Expecting otherwise is simply delusional. Of course English is enough as a tourist - but to reside long term one really needs to learn the local language.
