Hai maam i am an indian working in qatar. How can i find a employer in norway

[@ansleytaylor]

One of the most common places to find work in Norway is through the website Finn.no, I’d start looking for jobs there!

Don't bother unless you go to school there and get fluent, full time over years, do a masters in IT or some really in demand field where they are desperate for warm body/English speaker, it will be really hard, because there are lack of Norwegian language materials to get required proficiency. High taxes, high cost of living, discrimination for having foreign sounding name. She is right that Norwegians barely work, I always wondered how they ever made money in all these places, they are barely open and the staff is always on breaks, they work about 4-5 hours a day, they all seem to have some weird pre-lunch break around 10 where they disappear, they disappear for lunch [like 2 hours] work 2 more hours then run back home. On Fridays you might catch them for 1-2 hours before they run away from work. While that might sound great, think of how inconvenient it is to only be able to get things done for 4 days a week for 4-5 hours in a day. It is a bad idea, it is a closed job market, a country of 5 million, so you understand this means most people know each other in at least some extended manner. Worse off, you are competing against Swedes, Danes and to a lesser extent Finns all of who speak Norwegian better than you because Swedish, Danish and Norwegian are in reality a singular language with minor spelling/pronunciation variations [basically regional dialects] who for nationalistic reasons feign to be "different". Just look on the back of a Norwegian package and see that the Norwegian, Swedish and Danish instructions are the same word but with different spellings ever so slightly. This means that while the unemployment rate for Norwegians is 3-4%, in reality, the unemployment rate IN NORWAY, is closer to 14%, because there are waves of Swedes, Finns, Danes all competing against you the foreigner for the same job, so there are far more applications for jobs than jobs to go around. Go to a country that is more open to immigrants like US, Canada, Australia, NZ, Ireland, or even Germany. PS: Don't even think unless you are of Norwegian heritage that you are going to learn Norwegian online like you can do with German, French, Spanish or some other large language with a bunch of resources like Japanese. You will encounter shortage of Norwegian resources, and massive differences in pronunciations [and Norway has 2 major dialects BTW] between the book version and the real spoken version

14% unemployment rate in Norway? Countries that are more open to immigrants such as the US? wtf! I understand some people might be delusional when moving to a new country but your comment was nonsense. Even harmful for people that dream to move to Norway! Keep dreaming, Norway it's a beautiful place and I am sure you will all gonna get there

[@hernandayolearyallda]

@@matteozecchini9470 Yes, because non-ethnic Norwegians have extreme difficulty gaining employment. US lets in far more immigrants than any other country on average. I already lived there, there are parts that are nice to look at like Mountains, but it is cold and snow covered for so much of the year.

@@hernandayolearyallda all because you didn't like it doesn't mean that you should write nonsense comments discouraging people. Looking for jobs is extremely difficult in general. Also there are little to no Swedes/Danes who move to Norway for the sake of working. Their countries are almost no different from Norway and most of them only move if they have already been offered a job. Also how can you move to a northern scandinavian country and not expect it to be cold? That's literally the most basic thing everybody knows. It snows basically 6 months out of the year. Learning Norwegian also isn't difficult despite what you say, there are tons of content to immerse yourself in as well as grammar and pronunciation books, and Norwegian TV and radio is extremely easy to access even without a VPN and they very often have subtitles in Norwegian and in English. Sounds to me like you just didn't try hard enough and are now upset at a whole country lol

[@hernandayolearyallda]

@@solitairesimp1239 Not at all, sounds like you are just naive and green and trying to push norway as a paradise, it isn't, there is a reason why despite consistently ranking near the top for living standards and high income, and easy labor mobility for EU, why people don't go to Norway and even the immigrants choose Germany or UK. 10% of Norway is Swedes, and they dominate in low wage work, so its not like moving to Germany where you can work a crummy job and learn the local language on the job.

[@solitairesimp1239]

@@hernandayolearyallda there is a difference between seeing a country as paradise and not being a pessimistic dickhead. I literally live in Norway and moved here to work myself and had no issues of the sort
