Un po ‘di contesto:

    Mi sono trasferito a Oslo nel novembre dello scorso anno e finora è stato fantastico. Ho lavorato per una piccola startup per un po ‘come ingegnere del software, che è stato di nuovo fantastico. Sfortunatamente hanno affrontato alcune difulze finanziarie (piuttosto gravi) e hanno dovuto licenziare alcune persone, una.

    Quindi da quando è successo – Fine di maggio, ho fatto domanda per un lavoro. Quanti ne ho trovato opportuno, come ingegnere del software. Ma sono stato chiamato a poche interviste e la maggior parte di loro mi richiede di conoscere Norsk, cosa che faccio, ma non ancora di alto livello – A2 -B1 al massimo. E per chiarire, voglio dire, sono stato chiamato a pochissime interviste – 2-3, nonostante abbia cercato di applicare a tutto ciò che ho trovato è nel mio dominio di competenza.

    Ho ottenuto circa 4 anni di mani sull’esperienza alcuni dei quali in aziende piuttosto interessanti (secondo me) – ad esempio Adobe e Bachelors + 2x Masters of Engineering + Industrial Management. Sono un ingegnere back -end specializzato per lo più su Java, ma vieni con molte tecnologie …

    Stavo pensando che forse sto facendo qualcosa di sbagliato. Vedo così tante persone che non parlano norvegese che funzionano come ingegneri del software qui, e ci deve essere qualcosa che non conosco.

    COSÌ: Mi chiedevo, potevi darmi un consiglio sola cosa potevo fare per essere chiamato alle interviste? Dove devo fare domanda?

    Ho provato tramite Nav, Finn.noKode24 e offerte di lavoro oportunistica.

    Sarei davvero grato per qualsiasi aiuto!

    MODIFICARE: Non ero abbastanza chiaro: per intervista non intendo interviste complete, ma non si rendevano conto di non parlare abbastanza bene Norsk, e mi dissero "Devo parlare Norsk a un livello migliore per essere considerato adatto alla posizione"

      I mean you’re getting interviews which is a good sign?

      So besides the Norwegian (which they should be aware of before the interview anyway – so it mightn’t be that), do you know what might be the reason?

    2. I mean, you have to accept that you are at a disavantage. You don’t talk Norwegian, you will almost always be the seconde choice. If you got called so few times, with all the offers I see for software engineer on Finn almost daily, I guess something is wrong on your part.

      In addition to job market being slow for IT in general, summer is the worst time to be looking for a job here. Everything slows down to a stand-still, including recruiting efforts. It should pick up a bit the next few weeks. But it’s dtill a difficult market right now, so you may want to broaden your search a bit.

      The market is tough, and has been for some time. I’m British, have been here for almost three years now, and changed jobs in January. I began that search in September ‘24, and applied to a total of 82 jobs — all varying shades of relevant, and varying shades of interesting. I received (immediate) rejections from 33 of them. There were 7 offers to interview, of which I walked away from 4 during the processes, and the remaining 3 I received offers from. Incredibly, all 3 offers were from places I actually had an interest in working. This is _probably_ a pretty damn good run.

      I’m in a similar boat to you. My written Norwegian is excellent, as is my reading, but my speaking and listening suffers where it’s a struggle to practice at “my level”. I exclusively applied to organisations that had a strong international presence (though in my case they had to be headquartered in Norway to satisfy my visa) since, on balance of probability, the operating language would be likely to be English. At no point did I pretend I could speak Norwegian well. My CV is in English, my applications were in English, and I only spoke or wrote Norwegian when asked.

      I think the main thing you’re doing genuinely wrong is putting your CV and applications in Norwegian, despite not really talking it. That will be perceived as dishonest at best, and actively misleading at worst. You’re shooting yourself in the foot by misrepresenting yourself on paper.

      Unfortunately, it’s also just a slog. I got quite lucky with the role I’ve landed in (and I’m happier than I’ve ever been, honestly) but it took work. Stick with it.
