English-language jobs in Norway

16 years ago

Hi,

I am a 26 year old belgian who has been living in 5 countries during the last years. My big dream however for the near future is to relocate to either Norway or back to the Middle East. As Norway is a Shengen country it may be easier to get in here, if only it wasn't for the language barrier.

Basically I am looking for a job where I could start working in English. I also speak German, French and Dutch but I guess those aren't heavily demanded in Norway. I speak English perfectly though as I lived in Ireland for 3 years before.

It doesn't have to be a highly rated job or so. I would be happy doing dishwashing, bartending or cleaning work in a bar or hotel. I'd see it as a stepstone to get into the country while learning Norwegian for a future office job.

Does anyone know a bar or hotel where I would be welcome? Note that I need a full-time position. Dishwashing, cleaning, bartender, ... I am not that selective, but it has to be full-time as I need to make a living from it.

The city attracting me most is Tromsø, I always had a soft spot for the North of Norway. However, to get into Norway all locations would be OK, from Longyearbyen to Drammen, from Stavanger to Kirkenes :)

So if anyone knows a bar or hotel or resort where multilinguals are being recruited, please do let me know. My CV can be found on my website www.gerritsite.com
