First job for a student in IT

Hi, I'm planning to move to Norway.
I have a B.Sc. in Computer Software Engineering (I started an M.Sc. but then I took a sabbatical) and jeg forstår lille dansk (I was an erasmus student in Denmark, and since then I looked forward to go back to scandinavia)

So: I can understand some pieces of the job offers written in norwegian, but my knowledge is far from being adequate for day-to-day speaking

I already looked on nav.no, ec.europa.eu/eures... I searched gulesider for rekruttering, and found "mercuri urval", "arena personal", "randstad", "visma", "bjorgfjell", "vikarpartner"... but most of these companies don't have a lot of open positions listed, and english offers are almost non-existant

It seems that finn.no is a much better place for such searches (I'm also using no.indeed.com )... in fact I already sent my CV to some companies I found

The problem is that I'm quickly emptying the list of english openings

so, I have a few questions:

1 -If I write in english to a norwegian company that has job offers only in norwegian it's almost surely wasted... do you think it's worth it to ask to their contact a very short 1-line query of "do you accept applications in english?"? At least this way I might get back a reply earlier than 2 weeks... and spend time to fill out data for the application only for those that might actually be interested
2- Is there some other useful site that I missed?
3- A friend suggested that I shouldn't use the same CV for every company (it seems to be also one of the tips from "Cracking the coding interview"), often the online forms require a cover letter, and I read that companies in norway care about the personal presentation, but otoh they prefer a CV that is as terse and objective as possible... so: given that I'm at my first experience, that I cannot really change much between the different companies and that I feel that the most important thing are the technical competences, and if they feel that I match what they need they should just evaluate everything else during the interviews... are these suggestions really useful?

If I won't get a positive outcome after sending my CV, I was thinking that maybe it could be better to just move to norway right away... and find a temporary job in the meantime (picking strawberries, maybe? or I could just try with some savings)

The idea would be that after getting a home address there (and possibly getting more accustomed to the language), it could be easier to get a response from local companies

this post seems to be quite optimistic:

but OTOH, I don't know how much experience ECS has, it's very possible that this approach might not work for finding a junior position

(just to clear it out: I have plenty of experience with Python, Java, and other programming languages, I contributed small patches to several open source projects, so it's not like I'm completely clueless: I'm not one of those students who has never worked on something of their own in their spare time, outside of assignments... but still: no proper work experience)

I'm old enough that I'm starting to feel queasy at the idea of living with my parents for another year or two (even if in Italy, as you might now, it's a common thing for the vast majority of people with my same age), so even if I fail in my job search in Norway, I'm motivated to expat somewhere else.

Maybe, after 1..3 years in another place, I could just move again, and it would be easier for me to get job offers.

That is, just because right now my idea is to move to Norway, I shouldn't complicate my life too much and try to match my ideal... after all I could be happy also in another place, you know: "perfect is the enemy of good"

So: what do you think? If everything fails... Would it be better to try to move to norway just to improve my chances, or should I move to another place in europe in the meanwhile?

Thanks!
