My name is Eva, 18 and I'm from Romania.
I speak fluent English and a little Japanese (basics). I am looking for a part time or full time job in a restaurant, like dish washing, cook help, disposal, etc, things that don't require me to speak Norwegian.
I am also a good at traditional art like drawing and if I could find a job on that it would be great.
I am currently learning Norwegian language by myself. I wanted to ask, after I manage to speak Norwegian on a medium level, will it be easier for me to find a job ?
Also, is it possible for me to sign up for school (high school grade 12) if my parent doesn't have a norwegian personal number?
thanks

Hi spinturri,

Welcome to expat-blog!

As a job seeker i would suggest you to post in the Hotel, catering, bar, restaurant and tourism jobs in Oslo, this might be helpful.

I would advise you to read topics on the Oslo forum, you might get some useful information.

Thank you,

David.

Hey,

No you cannot join the school system here without your parents being legal residents and paying taxes in Norway (if we speak of high school - vidergående skole). For university, the residence status of your parents have not influence. you can apply as any foreigner from the EU.
