How to get a job in Oslo: Everything you need to know

Knowing how to navigate Oslo’s job market can become a significant challenge if you’re not from another Scandinavian country. But fear not; we’re here to help. This article will tell you everything you need to know about working in Oslo. 

Oslo is one of Europe’s fastest-growing cities, and living standards are incredibly high. But it’s also notoriously expensive, and knowing how to get a job in Oslo is wise if you want to move to the Norwegian capital. 

Norway’s largest city has low crime rates, beautiful nature nearby, and a well-run airport that makes getting to other parts of the country — and Europe — a breeze. You will also enjoy a better work-life balance than in most countries. 

Understanding the job market in Oslo 

Oslo is Norway’s main cultural, political, and business hub. It has a pretty mixed economy, and several Norwegian companies have offices in the capital. You will also find numerous major international businesses with regional offices in Oslo, including Deloitte and IBM. 

The job market in Oslo focuses on several core industries. You won’t find the same tech startup scene as in Stockholm and Helsinki, but various IT roles exist. You will also find many companies focusing on the energy sector; this is unsurprising, as Norway is one of the world’s leaders in renewable energy.

Oslo, like the rest of Norway, has a close relationship with the sea. The maritime sector is still essential to the city’s economy, and you will find various businesses in this field. 

Education is another important sector in Oslo. The city has several institutions, including the University of Oslo and Oslo Met. As such, you will find several researchers and lecturers living in the city. 

How To Find A Job In Oslo

Business districts in Oslo 

Jobs in Oslo are scattered across the city, but many companies are concentrated within specific corners. Fornebu is the main base for Oslo’s IT companies, and you will find a large business park located in this part of the city. 

It’s around 20 minutes from the city center by bus, with regular connections available. 

Bjørvika is another key business district in Oslo, and you will find numerous offices side-by-side with residential apartments. The neighborhood is right behind the Oslo Opera House and close to Oslo Central Station. 

How can a foreigner get a job in Oslo? 

You can use several job portals to find a job in Oslo, such as FINN.no and The Local’s job openings section. LinkedIn is another helpful place to find openings; you can also end speculative emails and cover letters. 

Getting a job in Oslo probably doesn’t differ too much from where you live. You will typically have a couple of interviews before receiving a job offer if you’re deemed the right candidate. 

While being physically based in Oslo makes it much easier to find a job, you don’t have to be. Sometimes, companies will host calls remotely before deciding whether to offer you the role. 

When looking for jobs in Oslo, it’s important to remember that immigration rules differ depending on your citizenship. While Norway is not in the EU, it is a member of the EEA and adopts the same freedom of movement rules as EU member states. 

If you’re an EU or EEA citizen, you can live and work in Norway without needing a visa. However, you will need to register your residence with the local authorities after moving. 

Norway is also part of the Nordic Passport Union, which enables citizens of the Nordic countries to live in each other’s countries without needing a residence permit. 

Citizens of countries not mentioned above, including the UK, Canada, the US, and Australia, will have to deal with more bureaucracy. You will typically need a job offer before moving to Norway, with several categories available. 

Norway also offers a job-seeker visa, allowing you to move to Oslo and find employment. You can select this option if you’ve recently graduated from a Norwegian university, and it’s also possible to apply if you simply want to try your luck. 

If you’re in the latter category, you must have at least 23,224 Norwegian Kroner per month ($2,313.71) saved up. Moreover, your funds should be in a Norwegian bank account in most cases. 

You can find out more about job-related residence permits on the UDI website . 

How To Find A Job In Oslo

Is it easy to find a job in Oslo? 

Whether you find getting a job in Oslo easy or not will largely depend on your personal situation. If you have a skill that is in high demand, you will likely land a job offer at some point. 

Similarly, having qualifications from a Norwegian institution will significantly increase your chances of finding employment in the capital. 

Your language skills might also play a significant role in whether you find work in Oslo quickly or not. Almost all Norwegians speak excellent English, so — unless your role specifically requires you to be a native English speaker — you will not stand out in that respect. 

You will significantly increase your chances of landing a job if you can speak a high level of Norwegian. Having other languages will also help; if your mother tongue is something that isn’t Norwegian or English, you can try to use that to your advantage. 

Useful tips for finding a job in Oslo 

You can do several things to increase your chances of finding a job in Oslo. Our first tip is to finetune your application for the Norwegian market. 

If you’re from a country like the US, the Norwegian work culture might shock you. While bragging about your achievements might work back home, that is typically frowned upon in Scandinavia. Knowing how to write a cover letter that’s suitable for the market will help.

Another thing to remember is that Norwegian workplaces are pretty laid-back — even in Oslo. You probably won’t need a suit unless you’re going for a leadership position in a major corporation.

As is the case everywhere, building a network in Oslo will significantly increase your chances of getting a job. If you’re not physically present in the city, you can use social media networks and online forums to connect with interesting people. 

But again, you should focus on what you can do for them — and not how much you can take. 

Landmarks In Norway

It’s also worth remembering that the idea of a traditional career isn’t such a huge thing in Norway. Generally speaking, people work to live — and it’s not uncommon to see people in the same company for several years. Norwegian companies usually hire with the long term in mind. 

How To Find A Job In Oslo

What jobs are in high demand in Oslo? 

While Oslo has something for most people, certain jobs are in particularly high demand. If you’re a software engineer, you should have a decent level of luck finding a job in the Norwegian capital. 

Construction workers are also in high demand in Oslo, and you will also find several openings in other engineering fields. 

Generally speaking, you can also find work in the service industry. But in many instances, having a good understanding of Norwegian is essential. 

Can I work in Oslo as an English speaker? 

Yes — as long as you know how to find a job in Oslo, you can work in the city as an English speaker. As mentioned earlier in this article, you may have a trickier time obtaining a residence permit, depending on your nationality. But language is irrelevant in this process.

Stretching things wider, you shouldn’t have any issues getting around Oslo only speaking English. Many signs are signposted in both Norwegian and English, and the majority of residents are fluent in both languages. 

Do you need to learn the language to work in Oslo? 

You don’t necessarily need to learn Norwegian to work in Oslo. If you have an in-demand skill, you should be able to find English-speaking jobs in Oslo without learning the language. Moreover, many larger corporations will use English as their main office language. 

However, knowing Norwegian will give you a huge advantage over other foreigners looking for jobs in Oslo. Even if English is the official corporate language, you will probably be preferred if you speak Norwegian. 

Successfully integrating into Norwegian society is also impossible if you don’t know the language, and — if you later want citizenship — you’ll need to speak it to a good enough level. 

Finding a job in Oslo requires a lot of advance planning 

Knowing how to find a job in Oslo can be tricky, especially if you’ve never worked in Scandinavia before. The Norwegian workplace is dramatically different from what you’ll find in other countries, and the flat structure is tricky to navigate for foreigners. 

However, finding a job in Oslo is by no means impossible. If you finetune your CV, show a willingness to adapt, and focus on your strengths, you will — if you persist — get a lucky break eventually. 

An English CV is a good idea, but a Norwegian version is worth having too. Jobseeker offers CV templates that are easy to customise, especially if you unsure about Norwegian CV standards.

If you plan to live in Oslo for the long run, why not read our article about learning Norwegian as a native English speaker ?

Work and Travel in Norway

Help us grow. share what you know about getting work in norway for travellers., volunteer and paid work opportunities in norway for travellers.

Norway is the undisputed king of expensive travel destinations. If you want to sample the majestic fjords and the towering mountains of the country, you’re going to need some serious cash to do it. In the absence of a large bank account to travel in Norway with, consider one of the hundreds of volunteering opportunities in Norway. They’ll allow you to really get to know the country and to stay as long as you want. It’s a unique opportunity to indulge in one the most beautiful corners of Europe and cover your expenses. Our travel guide to Norway is going to show you just what you should be looking at. Are you ready to take on Norway? 1. Farm Volunteering in Rural Norway Rural Norway is what the country is known for, so get out there and experience it for yourself in the best possible way. A farm volunteering opportunity in Norway will introduce you to the beauty of the country, and you’ll be making a real difference at the same time. You don’t need to have any experience to volunteer on a farm in Norway. Just bring your best work ethic and don’t be afraid to get dirty outside. This is a chance you shouldn’t miss out on. 2. Help with Reindeers and Huskies in Northern Norway For the ambitious and the hard headed, Norway above the Arctic Circle is the place for you. Volunteer with reindeers and huskies in this remote part of the country. Work under the glow of the Northern Lights as you care for these working dogs and aid the reindeer herders in their duties. It’s a difficult job with long hours and hard labour, but if you’re strong enough to do it you’ll unlock the heart of Northern Scandinavia. 3. Teach English in Oslo Oslo is the capital of Norway and one of the few truly urban centres in the country. Most Norwegians already know English, but young people always need some extra help. If you hold a TEFL qualification, or the equivalent of, you can teach English in Norway. In most cases, long-term positions will provide a salary for you to survive within the country. You can also find summer camps and special events for native English speaking volunteers who want to work and travel in Norway.

VOLUNTEER WORK VISA / PERMIT REQUIREMENTS FOR NORWAY

Norway operates a confusing visa policy for many. The main reason is that Norway is not a part of the European Union (EU) but is part of the Schengen Zone. EU citizens are able to enter Norway and stay as long as they want, and they can take on paid work without a work visa. North Americans can enter the Schengen Zone for a maximum of 90 days, but must then leave for 90 days before they can return. The same policy applies to the Japanese, South Koreans, Australians, and Kiwis. The visa is given on arrival for free. For South Africans and Russians, they have to apply for a formal Schengen visa from a European embassy. If accepted, they can enter under the same terms as anyone else.

SEASONAL BACKPACKER SKILLS NEEDED IN NORWAY

Spring work.

The spring season in Norway offers cold, gray, and rainy weather. But that doesn’t mean you won’t find opportunities to work in Norway. The main seasonal work in high demand at this time of year is farming work. Any farming work you take on will usually revolve around planting and cleaning up after the winter season. But the availability of these positions depends on where you travel in Norway. The worst of the winter will always clear in the south of the country first.

SUMMER JOBS

Summer in Norway is the time when the majority of volunteers decide to travel the country. This is by far the best time to sample the various fjords and mountain ranges of the country. In terms of volunteering work, you have a variety of summer camps that take place both in urban areas like Oslo and in more remote areas in the north of the country. These camps may be language learning camps, sports camps, or art camps. Choose the one that best fits your skillset.

Autumn doesn’t offer much in the way of specific seasonal work. At this time of year you may want to consider teaching English in Oslo. The beginning of the school year means that many families employ private tutors. Native English speakers who hold a formal TEFL qualification will be in high demand. You will have the choice as to whether you specialize in teaching teenagers or younger children.

Head to the north of the country to see the reindeers and the huskies the country is famous for. You can join one of the farms and the reindeer herders. It’s a difficult position and it’s not for the faint of heart. Temperatures get extremely cold and you’ll have to work no matter the conditions. But it’s a truly unique experience that you won’t forget or replicate in a hurry. Winter sports are also popular in Norway. Places like Lillehammer and Trysil are all skiing and snowboarding locations with available positions for instructors and lodge workers. Typically, these positions are filled months in advance and do pay a salary.

ATTITUDE TO FOREIGNERS WORKING OR VOLUNTEERING IN NORWAY

The prominence of English should tell you all you need to know about work and travel in Norway. The country is open to the world and welcomes people from all four corners of the globe. You’ll experience no problems with working or volunteering in the country. There are no touts as this is not a traditional tourist destination, due to the high cost of living. If you can afford it, one would say this is the ideal country to challenge yourself in. Whether you’re just looking to travel in Norway or to experience something incredible, foreigners are welcome. Are you ready for your Norwegian adventure?

UCLA Football: Could Redshirt Freshman QB Have A Shot At Starting Job?

  • Author: Alex Kirschenbaum

In this story:

Is there a chance that the UCLA Bruins under freshly-promoted head coach DeShaun Foster will decide not to start incumbent quarterback Ethan Garbers to kick off the 2024 NCAA season next fall?

Following the transfer portal departures of Dante Moore and Collin Schlee earlier this offseason, Garbers is now the only lingering signal caller on the Blue and Gold's roster who started last season. He also finished the year as the team's QB1, and it certainly seems as if Foster is treating him like he's the guy moving forward.

Garbers has exclusively played with the first team on offense. Per Ben Bolch of The Los Angeles Times , Garbers is generally all but guaranteed to start the season in pole position, unless UCLA adds a blue chipper via the transfer portal in the coming weeks.

While Garbers' starting job appears safe for now, Bolch also reveals that Garbers may have "a future star" as his backup this year. Thus far in spring practice, redshirt freshman Justyn Martin appears to have developed by leaps and bounds as a passer and also in terms of the way he moves with the pigskin.

Foster also appreciates Martin's thirst for learning when it comes to film sessions and practices.

“He’s constantly trying to get knowledge,” Foster said. “He’s a very smart kid. He loves the game, that’s why he works so hard at it. So I’m just glad he’s here and playing well.”
