Looking for a job in Norway. Would thank any tips in advance. Not picky if its design related, just need some cash to get life going.

Will deliver CV to whom interessed.

Have you approached the various design agencies?

Where are you based? Where do you want to be based?

Why Norway? What's the appeal?
(I only ask that question as I may be heading out that way myself before too long.)

Motivation personal life, really need to go there to beleive in something.

No i have made no contacts yet, as im only gonna leave my current job tomorow.

So ill start to make stuff from monday, if ur going maybe u can point me some stuff or maybe we can even help eachother.

( edit : dont really care where ill be based, i just want to earn enough so i can survive there and eventually come here to portugal from time to time so i finish my master thesis. Maybe u can send me a pm with ur goals on going there and we get a way to discuss all this

)

things to consider:

- VERY high v.a.t. on alcohol and cigarettes in Norway. so if you're *addicted* you might want to stock up from home.

- wages are considerably higher than the south of Europe (or even UK) - which might attract you - BUT don't get a heart attack when you find out that you'll be paying 50+% tax minimum. I know It's like this in Denmark - the Scandinavian countries are very similar when it comes to those things...

- Beer is cheaper in Denmark.

(not my intention to put you off

)
