Ways to find work
You have several options when you are looking for a job in Norway:
- use your network
- internet: nav.no and finn.no
- temping agencies
Many employers think that references are important. They can then ask previous employers about how the applicant performs at work. A former boss or colleague can give good references.
Finding a job for the first time in Norway can be difficult because people may not have references or an extensive network. It may therefore be a good idea to do practical training in a workplace for a period, take some courses etc. Practical training and various odd jobs enable you to develop your network and obtain references.
It is said that between 60 and 80 per cent of jobs in Norway are not advertised, but are filled through people’s networks. Your network is all the people you know, meet and are in contact with. Your network can include family, relations, friends, acquaintances, colleagues, neighbours, teachers and case officers.
