Hi everyone, hope you're doing well.
My name is Ibrahim and I'm from Saudi Arabia. I'm currently a student in one of the top engineering universities in the Middle East (KFUPM, Saudi Arabia). My major is Electrical Engineering and Automation. I want to know how viable is it to seek a job in Norway in terms of my nationality and where I come from. I'm fluent in English, but I don't know any Norwegian. However, I have time to learn since I'm just 21. Looking forward to your answers and valuable opinions. Ta-ra

Learning the language would be your first goal. You would need work experience in your field of expertise plus qualifications.
