Am I delusional wanting to move to Bergen (Norway) ?
Hey guys !
Here's my situation : I'm a french man (27 yo) willing to move to Norway, mainly to Bergen but also Oslo since i know that it's quite difficult to find a job as a foreigner in this country.
Last year was really challenging for me, since i lost all my biggest clients as a freelancer and I didn't find the will power to start over again in this activity. So, as you can guess, it's time for me to "rebrand" my life and to do a fresh start.
One of my friends found a job in Bergen and said that he likes it there, despite bad weather. Since i'm totally free, i would like to move also, and to see if the country suits me.
But i have a big problem : i need a job :D
If you wonder what my qualifications are : Master Degree in Marketing and 5 years of experience as a writer/copywriter specialized in SEO being self-employed (digital nomad). I've been traveling since my 22yo, so i would say that my english might be B2 level with strong potential for me to reach C1 quite fast if I evolve in an english environment.
Notice that i don't necessarily want a job in my corresponding field. I also like nature, outdoor and sport in general. I don't mind to take a "basic" job at first. My only problem is that i'm introvert, so taking a job such as restaurant waiter or receptionist would be quite my nightmare :p
My questions are :
- What would be my chances of success finding a job in Bergen in about a month if I come to my friend's appartment to live at first ?
- What kind of options or strategies could I use locally to improve my chances of finding a job?? Do you consider it much easier to find a job being directly in Bergen/Oslo or do I have low chances anyway ?
- What kind of job can I expect to get with my profile in Norway ? (with good english and willing to learn Norwegian long term)
Thanks
