When we asked people about industries and career opportunities in Norway, they reponded...

"I have worked all over Norway from Tromso to Sarpsborg to Kristiansand. Most career opportunities for foreigners are doing the jobs the Norwegians don't want to do, much the same as the UK and many other places. This can make learning the language difficult since a) The Norwegians generally speak good English and b) You are mainly speaking English with non-Norwegians," remarked another expat in Kristiansand, Norway.

"Foreigners often have jobs in Norway in a variety of fields including hospitality and tourism, manufacturing, services, and technology. Additionally, foreigners often find employment opportunities in the medical and health care industries as well as animal care, education, and agriculture. Working in Norway as an English teacher is also a popular choice among foreigners," said a member in Norway.
