Tittel: Looking for work/jobs in NORWAY - Can anyone out there Help (please!)
Skrevet av: Lee.Capril 13, 2011, 11:35:17 am
Well as the title says guys........

As a few of you on here will already know I have resently moved to NORWAY to be with my Little VW Chic Maria (vwjenta) and now I really really need to find some work/job  :)

I am a FULLY QUALIFIED engineer/mechanic and have been for more than 10 years - I started at Opel/vauxhall in the UK when I was 18 and then moved onto a Ferrari Restoration company (http://www.dkeng.co.uk/index.php) for a few years, before I left the UK I was working for a company MONKFISH PERFORMANCE (http://www.monkfishperformance.co.uk)

I have been to see all the local car dealerships/garages and given them a copy of my CV but as yet I have not heard anything back  :(

So if ANY of you out there think you might be able to help then PLEASE drop me a line - tel: 40067168 email: lee_cooksey@yahoo.co.uk OR monki772003@yahoo.co.uk

I look forward to hearing from you  :)

First off, welcome to Norway Lee.

Getting a job in Norway should be easy if you`re not picky. Getting a job as a mechanic should also be possible with your CV if it was not for the fact that there is a que of people from Poland and Lithuania wanting the same job as you. They are usually qualified, willing to go down quite a bit on their salary and work their asses of to keep their job while their waiting for the situation to improve in their home countries.

I would keep on visiting the garages / shops and do not give up! I will ask one of the guys in my garage if they need help at his work (a BMW / Opel dealer) and let you know.

You need to start your search somewhere like this:
http://www.finn.no/finn/job/fulltime/result?keyword=mekaniker&EXTENT= (http://www.finn.no/finn/job/fulltime/result?keyword=mekaniker&EXTENT=)

If you do not know the language you need to use google translate and start learning the key terms in order to apply for a job, at least so that you can read the ads!

I found a few quickly (I don't have time to list all the hits..)
http://www.finn.no/finn/job/fulltime/object?finnkode=27938842 (http://www.finn.no/finn/job/fulltime/object?finnkode=27938842)
http://www.finn.no/finn/job/fulltime/object?finnkode=27899775 (http://www.finn.no/finn/job/fulltime/object?finnkode=27899775)
http://www.finn.no/finn/job/fulltime/object?finnkode=27897062 (http://www.finn.no/finn/job/fulltime/object?finnkode=27897062)
http://www.finn.no/finn/job/fulltime/object?finnkode=27892060 (http://www.finn.no/finn/job/fulltime/object?finnkode=27892060)
http://www.finn.no/finn/job/fulltime/object?finnkode=27892059 (http://www.finn.no/finn/job/fulltime/object?finnkode=27892059)
http://www.finn.no/finn/job/fulltime/object?finnkode=27892061 (http://www.finn.no/finn/job/fulltime/object?finnkode=27892061)
http://www.finn.no/finn/job/fulltime/object?finnkode=27892055 (http://www.finn.no/finn/job/fulltime/object?finnkode=27892055)
http://www.finn.no/finn/job/fulltime/object?finnkode=27840703 (http://www.finn.no/finn/job/fulltime/object?finnkode=27840703)

If you don't know the language you should make it a priority to start to learn it, as I see in some of the ads it clearly states:
"Language skills: Norwegian spoken and written." as a requirement.

Good luck :D

Welcome to Norway, Lee!
With your experience there should be some options to choose from.

In Bergen we have a couple of "upper class" shops,
Sandven Service http://www.sandven-as.no/service-/ and
Ferdinand Motor http://www.ferdinand-motor.no/index.php?option=com_contact&catid=13&Itemid=78
Anyway I guess it's not that easy if you stay in Fredrikstad?

Hope it works out for you!

Hey "Splitman" I am planning a visit to Hammer works VERY soon  ;)

And Thankyou for the Welcome "Beetlebug" I told you I might move here one day hehehehe I'll give you a call soon  :)

As for the language thing I am in the middle of a Norskkurs as we speak (done approx 12hrs so far) I am starting to get the hang of it  :D

I have been looking around on the net but I thought I'd see if anyone in the "VW community" could help - I am based in Fredrikstad by the way guys  :)
