  I would be in big trouble trying to speak to any one there.
  At my age i think it would be harder to learn also. nice post.

  You always have the best information! Some day, should I ever get to traveling, all this will come in very handy :)

• 3 Gift Baskets // Jul 30, 2008 at 6:16 am

  I would think these would be normal issues as an expat about anywhere. All too scary for me, that is for sure!

  Hi my husband is from Norway Bergen but we live in Florida, USA now we have 2 beautiful girls ages 12 and 14 and with all the changes and no guarantees about life insurance and job security and our children’s future, my husband wants us to move to Bergen to live which I am willing to do it. Now considering that I speak german, english and spanish, and I am very broad. Our kids are more american than both of us , not too confuse them we taught them a neutral language. How it will affect them a life change as their peers, i am confused, do you think they will miss their friends from school??my husband says in a long run, our kids having dual nationality as american and norwegian will benefit better over there although I know the weather is rainy and cold most of the time.Please, reply.

• 7 Kristie // Oct 16, 2008 at 5:06 pm

  @moni: The girls at that age is what makes a move like that so tricky. I would (if you can) take them on a vacation there and ask them what they think. I think it would be most important to involve them in the decision making process so they dont feel like helpless victims being yanked out of their lives unwillingly. I dont personally know how much they will benefit from a dual nationality… I dont think that alone is a very good reason to make a move like that.
  My advice is to ask your kids what they think. I think parents underestimate the intelligence and understanding teenagers have…. and in making a move like that, I would want them to agree - or else you might be up against very hostile teenagers who feel like victims to their parents decisions. I would ask them!
  I hope this helps, maybe someone else reading this might also have some advice!

  I understand that it is not easy because our children have their own mind but realistically, there is a huge unemployment, also there is no health care available if you get fired or laid off and jobs are scarce and we cannot live on medicare and social security only. There is a recession right now , and we are getting old and scared if something happens to my husband i will be working until i drop dead. Our kids will get almost 300 dollars being norwegians . It is a tremendous experience and we can always come back to USA at least once a year.

  Please, reply.

• 9 Tom // Oct 19, 2008 at 8:27 am

  Moni, what the hell is wrong with you? Where is the tragedy of living in US that you have to run for your life? Your arguments are irrational at best. You wanna move, move but without creating fony arguments. And your kids gonna hate you for it. Norway is for eating berries, walking fiords, and taking advantage of socialist mentality of peasants and fishermen that hit a jackpot in form of oil. Use your head woman, since your husband is losing it.

• 10 Eric // Oct 21, 2008 at 5:43 pm

  Hello,

  My wife is Norwegian and I am American. I have lived in the States my whole life except when I was in the Military.
  Basically in a nutshell, I have a bachelors degree, I hated my job so much in the States that the stress was killing me and I couldnt find anything else. That led me to worry for the past 5 years about job security and our lives so we decided to foreclose on our house, cash in our 401K plans to live on and ship all our stuff to Norway. Now we are renting a 2 bedroom house on a farm in the middle of nowhere. My wife cant find a job and neither can I due to the language issue. We have been here since May and have been miserable ever since as we have to live off the Govt here which gives you money, but too little too late most of the time. We wanted to move to a larger city, but without jobs it is just too expensive. There is absolutely nothing here to do in this town and no jobs unless you speak Norwegian. I have walked to places and asked and jobs are few.
  This is effecting our children and our marriage life. If we were to move back to the States, we would have to sell everything we shipped here and send back the important stuff such as pics of the kids, wedding dress etc. We have nowhere to live if we go back to the States except with my parents who basically turned their house into a cat rescue center. It is truly aweful to be in this situation. My wife is seeing if she can get her old job back in the States and I can work at Walmart or something until I get something better. I actually spoke with someone from Eures who is an American that has lived here for 20 years. She cant find anything for me job wise and I went to a temp agency here today and they basically said we will keep your resume and let you know.
  We consider the States to be our home and want to go back, but dont know if we should continue to try it here or go back while we still can and at least live where we want to be even though we have to start all over again with our lives. We think if we go back we need to as soon as possible so companies will not think we lost our skill-sets for working again.
  Basically we are stuck and dont know what to do.
  Advice??

• 11 Kristie // Oct 24, 2008 at 4:05 pm

  @Eric: Hi Eric. I am so sorry to hear about your situation. I know a few people in similar situations and I dont really know what to tell you. I will leave your comment here and hope someone will have some advice for you! I wish you the best of luck.

• 12 Kristie // Oct 24, 2008 at 4:28 pm

  @moni: I understand, and those are very realistic fears. It is hard for me to say too, because I do not have children. One thing is for sure though…that it is good to have options. :) It doesn’t mean you have to do it or not, you are more fortunate than many people in the US to know that you have options :) I wish I had more good advice for you than I do…believe me. I am sure whatever decision you make, you will make it work! Good luck!

• 13 Moni // Oct 25, 2008 at 5:45 pm

  Tom,
  This is for you, I don’t know how old are you but i already been in Norway, we have family from our husband’s side, my husband went in May to see his father for a terminal illness and worked there for 2 months, at the same time he is Norwegian 100%. We reside in Florida because we decided to, but the economy right now there is no guarantees unless you study a career and join the govermment if you want your retirement secure.This is for Eric, Does your wife has contact in Norway?? why did you move to a middle of a farm??? you seclude yourself, now my husband is from the second biggest city of Norway which is Bergen, try to relocate near Oslo or contact that your wife has, can she get a job right away, try kelly services, monster.com,etc. also you have to do at least 1000 hours of norwegian language for free but you have to move out of the farm, you won’t find a job like that, now i am not against United States, there is no job security right now, only doctors, nurses, in the medical field but i am trying to finish my bachelors on arts and get certification for a teacher in esol endorsement in german and spanish, minor biology, with that i will continue back to the state of florida retirement system.
  Eric, this is for you if you have a trip to Oslo or call first to the american base in Oslo, they can probably hook you up to work there as a veterenan or continue with the US govermment, don’t give up, your wife needs to network, does she have education??? now i forgot to tell you guys I am peruvian born, i hold 2 passports american and peruvian, so i lived overseas, now married to a norwegian i can get my citizenship in norway in 2 years but living there, because i married him 16 years ago.
  The only thing i like about norway is that it is difficult for them to lay you off and you have access to a good retirement system, my husband’s family is in Bergen, his mother is widowed now and she is getting at least 3000 dollars per month from the husband, which is a pension, now he never worked for the govermment in Norway, they are norwegian viking 100%.
  Tom, this is for you, i don’t know if you ever lived in Norway or have two nationalities but one thing it seems that either you are patriotic or you are not broad at all or Norway treat you bad, because yes the weather is horrible coming from Florida, but in Florida there is no jobs, and if i move to Norway and decide to work for 7 years i will be entitle to be on vacation for 5 weeks which works for me, i already pay my dues, I worked 10 years for the florida retirement system and 13 more years for private industry in the states, what kind of experience you have, i don’t know. Good Luck for your endeavors.

• 14 moni // Oct 25, 2008 at 5:47 pm

  Kristie,
  Thanks for your opinion, and continue with your endeavors.

• 15 Eric // Oct 25, 2008 at 10:57 pm

  Thanks for the comments Moni.

  Our goal is to move off this farm and to a bigger city such as Oslo or Trondheim. It is really too expensive to just pick up and move before we get a job. My wife has been applying for jobs on NAV, but I think her secondary education is keeping her from getting anything. I will tell her to try more Temp agencies as she is the key to us getting off this farm and into civilization. If we can do that, I might actually like it here. Once in a bigger city there will be more job opportunities for me - dont care what I do, just want to work. Hopefully the Govt will move us to the city where she gets a job and will help us until we can start making house payments on our own. Where I come from it is a no no to take money from anyone but yourself so this really sucks. We have 300,kr to our name for the rest of this month. That is not good.

• 16 moni // Oct 30, 2008 at 11:17 pm

  hi,
  Eric but the way it sounds is that you don’t have no connection from your wife’s side at all??? Doesn’t she know people in Norway??? another thing i forgot to tell you, Norwegians know each other since they were growing up and they tend to help each other and even do connections. What i didn’t get it is that the govermment will move you, what do you mean, Norwegian govermment??? either your wife or you have to work??? on my understanding you have to learn norwegian so far, another thing even if you hate it, if you are greedy and you think that Norway will change for you, it is not going to happen. You need to learn their language and learn their way of living which is completely different than here, life is more relax but you have to learn the language to be accepted in their culture.
  Just a tip, i know in USA anyone gets use to it because it is capitalism, and as long as you are useful you find a job>>> do you understand>> jobs that many american wouldn’t do it, but in Norway because it is not so big, they pick and you have to be competent, and maybe know several languages but it doesn’t mean that you won’t have chances in life. Don’t give up, be positive…. The best of luck to you and your family.

• 17 Eric // Oct 31, 2008 at 5:58 pm

  I dont expect anyone to change for me. I thought we were coming to a place that actually had jobs and not a farm in the middle of nowhere.
  This was not planned as we were just going to stay with my wife’s sister for a short time and move to the city we wanted to move to. We ended up staying here since it was so cheap which I was against as it is settling and that means difficult to get out.
  I will learn Norsk eventually, but I thought I could at least get a crappy job doing of course what Norwegians dont want to do and overtime learn Norwegian.
  Its not like I am a child and can pick up Norwegian overnight and I really dont want to. Nobody wants to be forced to do anything, but I do start classes in Nov.
  I would much rather move to somewhere like Spain if I have to learn a new language. Girls are much much better looking there and it is a great place to be. Also I have taught myself Spanish. Wait I am married, nevermind.

  My wife has very few connection here as she is from small towns and is actually more American than I am figuratively speaking. She realizes that this place is somewhere to visit but not to live.
  I think the people are greedy, biased, racist - pretty much like we are in the States.
  Dont get me wrong, I get alot of attention being American here and everyone is really nice to me, but I am in a bad situation because of where we located ourselves, the lack of Norwegian language which I dont think would change a thing.
  I do think things would be better if we moved to a City here or back to the States.
  I am way too overqualified and over-educated to do crap jobs here.
  What I meant by the moving is if we get a job the Govt is responsible to move us to the other city as we dont have enough to move.
  So until we can get out of this small town and into a city where there are more jobs available and not farms everywhere we are stuck sucking money from the Govt. I would think they would be a little more intelligent and say, hey, we need to help these people get jobs instead of giving us tax payers money every month to watch t.v.
  Dont get me wrong, I have done everything I can in this town to get a job, but like I said, its too small and there are no jobs available at this time.
  It is very easy from someone on your side who is married to someone who has a job and is Norwegian to say what you are saying. It is very different for the Norwegian person to have limited education and the career field they picked in school they cant do anymore because of their back.
  Love the snow though!

• 18 MS // Nov 16, 2008 at 10:18 am

  Learn the language, people! They offer many classes all over the country. You are going to have to learn it anyway, if you are allowed to stay there with a visa.

• 19 tasta // Dec 29, 2008 at 10:31 am

  Hi
  I come from a third-world country. I came to Norway (to marry my Norwegian) with a bachelor’s degree and teaching experience. I cleaned some houses while doing Norwegian language course. My mother-in-law took care of my child from a previous marriage. After 10 months in Norway, I found a job through someone I met socially. After 6 years, I now earn a lot so I have to pay “topp skatt”. My friends all have the same experience. Even my friends with MBA’s did not hesitate at cleaning or babysitting jobs. These jobs also widen your social network.

• 20 Kristie // Jan 4, 2009 at 10:21 pm

  @tasta: I agree..it does widen your network. I am babysitting right now and I actually love it (although the pay is not so so great).

• 21 Si // Jan 30, 2009 at 3:04 pm

  Heya,

  Thanks for your tips on finding a job in Norway. I’m looking for a summer job there, or any job to be perfectly honest, sick of UK syndrome lol!

  Viel Gluck!

• 22 Brittany Aasheim // Feb 3, 2009 at 12:52 pm

  Hei, i moved here a couple months ago from Orlando with my Norsk hubby who is a pilot, im having trouble finding a job in Fredrikstad due to my limited Norsk skills. So i am now looking in Oslo, i do not mind cleaning and such for the first 6 months or so until i find a job as a skintherapist. Any advice on companies for cleaning that do not mind english speakers, you would be surprised how many do mind even if you dont say a word all day and just clean!

• 23 Jeannie // Feb 5, 2009 at 8:01 pm

  Hi everyone, I’m new here. My husband inherited a house on the Fjord 3 miles outside of Flekkefford, Norway. Flekkefjord is a nice oceanside town with shops & a mall. The ships pull into the port there, so there’s always lots of tourists. We are considering renting the house out- if we don’t go there ourselves. If anyone is interested, reply to this posting and I’ll send photos.

• 28 Magda // Feb 27, 2009 at 11:47 pm

  Hey guys,

  I am in a simular situation too. I am engaged with a Norwegian, and looking for a job in Norway for a long time .. :(

• 29 William // Mar 1, 2009 at 2:21 pm

  hello there Magda what part of Norway do you guys live? and are you American like me always good to hear from fellow American,and what kind of work have you been looking for?

• 30 Magda // Mar 1, 2009 at 2:26 pm

  Nope, I am Europian :) I am Economist and I had a great job, but I cant find anything here now :S Its so frustrating :S:S What about You William? :)

• 31 William // Mar 1, 2009 at 3:21 pm

  well it’s hard because all the adds are norwegian and I use the google translator to translate but I’m learning the language so I could communicate better and that way I could find a good job here, but for now I must take whatever comes my way luckily my daughters family here are very nice and are helping me with that right now I’m bearly getting the papers done and I don’t even have a work permit yet but once all that is done I could start working again

• 32 Magda // Mar 1, 2009 at 6:18 pm

  I tried with google translate too, but then they ask if I speak business level Norwegian ? so nothing.. I just apply on English adds. I apply for the most stupid job as well, like work in a hotel, shop, … but nothing ? I was thinking that it wont be difficult to find job in Norway, because there are tons of foriners here. And many dosnt speak Norwegian and English. Like the Polish workers. They do some physical job in Norway just with Polsih language. .. But I cant find anything and I am here for 3 months ?

• 33 WILLIAM // Mar 1, 2009 at 8:13 pm

  wow that’s not good Ive’d been here 3 months too and didn’t know it was that hard , what about those classes they have to teach Norwegian ? so what are your plans ? but don’t give up you cant succeed without failing first , no sacrafice no victory.me I’m going to give it my all! but I know it’s hard and by posting comments here it gives you a sense of hope , well it those for me anyway my motto is “no one gives it to you , you have to take it”

• 34 Eric // Mar 1, 2009 at 8:40 pm

  All I will say if you are married to a Norwegian who has a job here, take your time and learn the language. You will probably not get a job until you do and I highly doubt you will get a job in what you were doing before or what you have an education in. They will always use you for cleaning though. Just being realistic.
  Just be happy one of you has a job as it is hard even for Norwegians to get a job right now.

  For those of you who plan on coming here all I ask is why? There is nothing here unless you are young enough to learn the language and become Norwegian and love this country more than anything.

  Yes this is a beautiful country to visit, but never to live unless you are rich and dont have to worry about employment.

  There are so many better countries out there which might not be and I hate to say it as prejudice as they are here against non-norwegians.

  Go someplace like Spain, South America, the States.

  I have lived here for almost a year and have become a complete vegetable living off the Govt. We are going back to Texas in a little more than a month thank goodness.

  William,

  I am terribly sorry to hear about your situation. I can say I do feel your pain as coming here has only torn apart our relationship more than it already was. It seems like this is a last resort before couples split. All you can do is apply for the family visa and they will grant it to you I am positive as they will not separate kids from their father. NAV will give you money to live on and have a place to live. We just drop off our bills there every month if we dont have enough to pay them.

  I am glad to hear that you are a go- getter as that is how I was until I was turned down by a pig slaughterhouse. Learning a new language may be easy for kids but for us adults it is extremely difficult and takes a long time and than you can enter the job market and have to compete with Norwegians. If my wife left me I would apply for the family visa and continue to live here like you are but we havent gotten to that point yet.

  Everyone, just remember Spain, S. America and the States!!

  Jeannie all I can say is you and your husband are some lucky dogs :) Maybe if we stay we would rent from you as we are looking for a bigger city and more job opportunities, but now going back to States to face that economic horror :o

  Good luck to everyone!

• 35 Magda // Mar 1, 2009 at 10:31 pm

  o God, but its good to know that I am now alone in this silly situation. I am not married, and I really dont plan to do it. I know it will help if I marry my bf, but I never liked the marrige, and I feel to young to marry now. So, without marrige, I learn Norwegian by myself, and I have huge problems with pronansiation :( I plan to stay here just 3 months more, hope to find some job, or (as a advise), there are some good one year classes at the Univeristy, in Marketing … in English. Maybe education in Norway will help, becouse everytime I am applying, the ask if I am I Skandinavian, or have a education in Skandinavia :S I know, not all of them have a good feeling about non norwegian :(
  .. especialy the expresion - import woman- ggg
  But I dont have any bad experience here.. for now. They are all nice and kind..
  I like the sea cost here, but what the hell, there is a good costline and lovely climate in Croatia, so We plan to move there ….

  Good Luck to ALL :)

• 37 Eric // Mar 2, 2009 at 7:34 pm

  Import Woman…

  Thats funny coming from people who often go live in Iceland, a Country with 250,000 people who are all related and end up single mothers to Icelandic or American Men.

  Norwegians go there and end up doing the jobs that Icelandics do not want to do such as working at bakeries, being Au-Pairs and working in Green houses.

  So basically Norwegians are second class to a bunch on inbreaders.

  Dont get me wrong, I had more fun in Iceland than most places I have been. I just thought it was kinda strange how they looked down upon Norwegians and Swedes.

  I have spent a long time living in different countries Internationally and I do love the people here that I know and I am friends with, but I really despise this country.

  It is the last communist country in Russia.

  Magda, you fit the perfect person that comes here to Norway. People from Ukraine, Russia, Croatia looking for a better life.

  If you find a job in 3 months I will freak.

  Leave as soon as possible.

• 38 Magda // Mar 2, 2009 at 10:22 pm

  haha Eric Eric.. thanks.. I am not Croatian, just speak the language fluently :)
  I am also quite international, have been working abroad for a long time, and I can say that Norwegians are not that bad… they accepted me quite well, but you know, There are idiots everywhere …

  I am really tried to find a job here. I can give you advise, I went through all Norwegian companies in Google Finance-around 800. just click on the name, and you will see if they have Employment Opportunity link there. If they do, usually they have adds in English. And there I sent Open Job Applications … tons :S:S still nothing, but you can try :)

  Guys, lets create a company together :P

• 40 Eric // Mar 3, 2009 at 12:58 pm

  There are a million things that are in the States that you just cant get here in Norway.
  I think we should start a store that sells things you cant get here.
  Just a thought.

  I’m moving to Norway this summer with my family, we live in Canada right now. My wife is Norwegian and has lived here in Canada for the past 8 years. I have a job starting in August in Stavanger, as long as you have some post secondary education you also will find work. It’s also a good idea to start learning a little norwegian so you can understand the basics. You must be able to speak english fluently.

• 43 Vasty // May 6, 2009 at 2:41 am

  i visited trondheim norway in february for two weeks, attendign ISFIT 2009 and i wanna go back in the summer, but i am a university student in Nicaragua, i am only nicaraguan and well i was wondering if there is a way i could work there, while also learning the languguage, i will stay with my boyfriend who lives there. i am willing to do anything, by the way i am a biology major student in an american unviersity in nicaragua on my last year and i am also an EFL part time teacher (i have been workign for 3 years now) and right now getting certified as an EFL teacher to work anywhere. any comments, suggestions, i would really appreciate it?

• 44 Jen // May 6, 2009 at 11:29 am

  I am an English teacher in the UK and I am relatively new to it as I am 23. I am planning a move to Norway as my boyfriend is Norwegian and this will obviously help. However, I am struggling on where to start. As he is not a teacher he doesn’t have a clue on what you have to do to teach English in Norway. I would be grateful if anyone can spare some advice. Also, being a novice at the Norwegian language do you think this will hinder me greatly in the classroom?

  hi guys,
  Just to give you a tip, I know people in Norway, my girls will be in summer to visit our relatives in Bergen, there is huge unemployment and i have a friend who has a master as an engineer and his company that he works for is closing for 5 weeks, he will be on vacation or there might be a laid off even in oil companies, he speaks fluent spanish, swedish and norwegian. I don’t know how you can migrate to find a job without not knowing norwegian. Just to give you a tip, remember Norway doesn’t care if you speak english, you have to know Norwegian very well. Good Luck!!!

  If you are from the States, don’t move to Norway. Very few make it here, even if they are married to a Norwegian. People from european countries have a better chance.

  You have to learn Norwegian no matter what, and it’s hard work. So be prepared. Don’t just depend on the classes, get materials and work on your own, and then get out there and use it. Take it from one who knows.
