Will I be able to find a job in Norway?
When we asked people about industries and career opportunities in Norway, they reponded...
"It's a University town, so lots of jobs on campus, hospital, fishery, technology. Its a big little city. I could not find a job since I do not speak or read Norwegian," said another expat in Tromso, Norway.
"Fishing, forestry, factory blue collar work and some technology. There are no real opportunities here. People find jobs because they have personal connections," wrote a member who made the move to Kristiansand, Norway.
