Multi National Companies Norway Job Recruitment ?

jam: I have heard of foreigners (English) working in the oil industry in Norway - so if you are a petroleum engineer you have a chance in Stavanger or somewhere.

Your best bet is to try www.finn.no (Go to the job section), this is perhaps the largest job site in Norway

It is not that there are no jobs for graduates in Norway - there are many, but there is often a language barrier - however in the oil industry they have relaxed this, and in the IT professions also.

Moreover, Norway is an egalitarian society so when you stroll the streets you can often not tell who is a professional and who is not.

thanks for link.
It seems all the jobs offers are for senior positions with 10+ years experience. I was hoping to move earlier.

OK that makes sense - because they would often look to hire people from abroad only if they can't find locals with those skills - and therefore they have hired people in the Oil & Gas industry from the UK, software professionals from India etc.

There is another site although I doubt it would be anymore helpful

https://tjenester.nav.no/stillinger/forside

The above site is the official site for unemployed people in Norway although finn.no could easily be better.

with the second site you can get an English version with some info on working life in Norway.
