All the best,

Hi Sam.

Finding a job as an English speaker in Trondheim is not so easy, it should be, as English is the second national language, which people have had a lifetime of exposure to, but in many companies there is still a strong insistence on speaking norsk. (largely depends upon who the boss is and how nationalistic he / she is)

With your experience, you should be able to get a job in one of the many restaurants scattered all over the city and it's outskirts. There are many people working in those places who are only able to speak basic Norwegian.

As a tip, don't send your CV out but rather go along and deliver it in person, let them see you, have a chat etc, that's the best way to get a foot in the door here.

It took me almost 5 years to get a job, so being both resilient and determined are qualities you will need to develop.

Hope it goes well.

Usually for people who doesn't speak the language yet there are many hotels who hires english speakers, specially summer is here.

Try handing out your cv to them personally. This worked really well for me as it shows how interested you are in the job you are applying for.
