Norway - any work at all?

[sloth]

Hi all, copied below from the employment forum, in case anyone else sees it here or wants to reply:

 

On behalf of my brother, does anyone know of any job vacancies in Norway, any job, anywhere?

He's been trying for so long now to find a job over there so he can stay with his girlfriend and one year old son, but can't find anything. His language held him back at first, now he can't find a preferred job near his family, so any job anywhere will do! He keeps having to come back here, work then go back, but that isn't sustainable as it's a pita and living costs are so much over there.

He can speak reasonable Norwegian after living there a couple of years plus several courses etc.

He's a good, qualified welder and steel erector, diving instructor, and has some qualification or other combining the two. I'll confirm exactly what and repost it...

To be honest he's desperate and will take just about any job anywhere in Norway, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Feel free to pm me or email [email protected] if you can help, many thanks, Kev...

If the situation is looking that bad, he might consider field and farm work, fruit picking and that. I know a few guys who went strawberry picking in Norway and they didn't have any Norwegian. From there, he can chat with his employer and get a foot in - offer a bit of free welding around the farm, that sort of thing. Hopefully one thing will lead to another....

Certainly an option. Do they grow strawberries over there? I'd have thought it was too cold!

They have Strawberries over here. Next to my house in fact.

 

I work in Stavanger so if I can help in anyway let me know. I dont speak Norgie though.
