How to find a job in Norway

Need help to find a job in Norway, read this article;
Just arrived in Norway and in need of a job? This is how you do it.
Research shows that as much as 60 % of all available jobs are never advertised through the regular channels. This number may be slightly exaggerated, but the fact remains that many vacancies are never published.

How do you find jobs that are not advertised?
Be creative and use as many different channels as possible! Make contact directly with possible employers and send open applications or presentations of your qualifications. If you already have friends or business contacts in Norway, ask them for tips about available positions – most jobs will be found through your existing network.

Often there will be many applicants for jobs that have been advertised. You will find many of these advertisements in Norwegian newspapers, but it is becoming increasingly common to use the Internet as the sole advertising channel. Many vacancies are now only published via company web sites, and some companies will only accept applications submitted through their own electronic application system.

Trade unions can also be good sources of information. Use Internet search engines and branch registers such as the Norwegian Yellow Pages, to find relevant company web sites and contact information.

The largest Norwegian vacancy databases are nav.no and finn.no. You can also call the NAV Service Centre EURES on tel.: +47 800 33 166 to ask about vacancies. It is a good idea to prepare your questions about what kinds of jobs you are looking for and where in Norway you would like to live.
