Hi mate!

I don't know what kind of education you have but to get a job in Norway without knowing the language is going to be tough.
I guess you can forget jobs with customer contact, but some jobs that I think you will have a fair chance to get, is jobs like; stock employee, production worker, etc. In Norway you don't need a degree to work in those occupations and still they pay well and as an employee, you have many rights.

If you do decide to move to Norway I wouldn't choose Oslo. The rent there is much higher than the rest of the country. I will suggest you to google cities like; Drammen, Bergen, Kristiansand, Stavanger etc. These are big cities, but far less expensive than Oslo. In small towns near Drammen such as Lier, Mjøndalen, Krokstadelva and Solbergelva you will get a nice apartment to less then half the price of what you get in Oslo and it would be 10 min with car/buss to Drammen who has everything. 40 min from Oslo.

(finn.no haven't an English version so you will need to use the Google translate, because this is the only site to look for apartments in Norway. Everything is there.)
