Instructions
Step 1
Obtain a passport. Before leaving for any country in Europe and not only you must have a foreign passport in your hands. Get it done right away so that you don't waste time on it later. Write a statement at the passport office, take some photos and wait a couple of weeks. You will have it in your arms.
Step 2
Analyze the Norwegian labor market. In general, before trying to get a job in this Scandinavian country, look at what its economy consists of. Basically, it rests on oil and gas production. It also includes many parallel areas: processing, transportation, economic analysis, etc. Although, of course, you can work in the service sector, education or winter sports. There are many possibilities.
Step 3
Now answer your question - what is my specialty and what is the level of my skills and knowledge? Remember that getting a job in this country is rather problematic, since Norwegians invite for employment primarily citizens of their country and neighbors (Denmark, Finland). Your level of experience and training must be high enough to qualify for employment.
Step 4
Search the global network for employer offers. Once you have decided on the area in which you can offer yourself, make a selection of company websites. Now the network contains both advertisements from job seekers and from the employers themselves. You need the latter. Send them an electronic version of your resume and a short letter about why you should be hired. Describe all the benefits of working with you. Be brief and describe everything in the case. The more value you provide, the faster you will be hired.
Step 5
Write to the official service of the labor exchange. If you have any unique skills in the field of culture, medicine, etc., then the following option will be acceptable for you. Visit the official Norwegian Labor Exchange website at nav.no/Forsiden where you can apply for jobs in your field. In this case, the employer will find you himself! And then you will be contacted to discuss the details. This is the most likely way to get a job in Norway.
Step 6
Get a job in a Russian-Norwegian company. You can also do an internship or go on a business trip working in a joint venture between the two countries. Then you will have the opportunity to obtain a special document - a work permit, which is given to foreign citizens after 3 months of living in this country. Then you can stay in this country and work in your specialty!
