Looking for a bartender job! by tibip20
Hey everyone, just got to Norway from Romania 10 days ago, have a temporary job now, but starting next week i have to look again for something else. I'm a bartender for 9 years now, so if anyone knows anything about bar work, doesn't matter where in ...
Salut Tibi. Incearca sa-ti faci rost de acte, doar cu un job temporar nu poti ramane in Norvegia. In ce zona esti? Sfatul meu e sa strangi cat de multi bani poti si sa mergi in Oslo sau Bergen. Chestia cu "in orice parte a Norvegiei" e relativa. ... Read More

Just ask to the first hospital you met there. Don't worry, you will not give birth in the street. Your husband will have a family doctor, just tell him to ask his doctor. Read More
2 jobs... by Liamwoolley88
I shall be starting a second 50% position as of next week and was wondering if any one knows if i will pay more tax as i have a second job?
Hello! As far as I know, you will pay 36% of what you earn, doesn't matter the sum. But I'm not sure 100%. Better call Skatteetaten +47 22077000 and push the button for English information, and simply ask the person who answer to put you on the line ... Read More

Making friends in Norway by britadiantraveller
Is anyone else finding it incredibly hard to make friends in Norway? I am a bit shy myself but it's to the point of rediculous with people here! I'm at my wit's end... :(
Auswegian is right 100%. Norwegians are extremely cold people and they simply cannot cope with foreigners. I've met nice Norwegians too, but all of them were in relation somehow with foreigners or a foreign country. For instance, I've a ... Read More

Hello! The sallary seems to be pretty good, but you have to be aware about the taxes, which are pretty high. As you were told before, Oslo is the most expensive city in Norway, even an ordinary tram ticket is insane comparing to Berlin or ... Read More

Realistically how likely is it to find a job in Norway prior to moving by Ajscishear!
I'm 19 & would love to get over there, the Norwegian I speak is fairly horrific in the way that it makes native speakers cringe... I can only curse, say yes/no & thanks... I've just started a bit of a job hunt & I am planing on leaving Australia in ...
Hi! It depends on the job you're qualified. For instance, I know cleaning ladies who don't speak Norwegian and they are accepted on lower payment. But usually Norwegians want to speak Norwegian. I've got that chance (1 in a million) to find a job ... Read More
