Finding a job in Norway

-

It's harder then you would think.

Even though I have a diploma in tourism and a certificate in pastry, it is really hard to find a job in your own profession. I am searching for a job for more than 8 month now, and I can't say I was successful so far, and I am not gonna lie it feels horrible, makes me think I am not good enough, and worthless. But maybe now, all my efforts seems to be paying off.

 So how is it working?

 Now let's start with, that I am aware of that some of you who are reading these lines will think "Tell me something new!" But maybe this writing will find some audience who are just about to experience job searching.

It all starts with a big old google search. Google job offering pages, even though they usually offer the same jobs, it is smart to register as much websites as possible. In my case it was Norwegian websites such as Finn.no , Jooble.org or Indeed.com. These websites are going to be your best friends during the search. All of them offers e-mail subscriptions, so you will get an e-mail everyday containing all of the new job advertisements. I can not recommend more to subscribe to all of them, it is one of the best thing they can offer.





Second step is to apply any job advertisement that you find without special education request. Now you may think that you don't want to be a shop assistant or seller or anything that you don't like, but hear me out! You only gonna get feedback like 1%  of the applying that you delivered. And it's sad. Most of the time there is not even a NO or any answer from 99% of the offers. 
So don't be picky, but of course the jobs you like and you have education for should be priorities.

 And then you just have to wait and hope for an answer and follow the instructions, if you get. :) And never give up! Hard work pays off always :) Be positive and don't let them break your mood and excitement.

The last but most important step is to apply for tax card here in Norway, because otherwise you have to pay more tax. About How to apply for tax card I wrote in my previous post called "Moving to Norway - the struggles and joys". You can search back and read more about it and I hope you can find some useful informations.

Working on the blog | Skin pampering day at home

Before I started this blog I didn't even think about how am I gonna make outfit photos, since we live in Norway, and it is the middle of winter here, going out is not so easy and the city in this season doesn't look so promising. Ice and black snow everywhere melting away, leaving a really wet and dirty look. Taking photos inside shouldn't be so hard, at least that is what I thought... Well it is basically dark inside all day, especially when my only help, my dear love comes homes from work. But this can not stop me, I will try to get a reasonably sized mirror, and stop making excuses. I promise. My other plan is to go to the woods, maybe it looks better there. Well wish me luck not to break my neck! But right now, I am having day for myself, in my cozy slippers and robe, doing some skin treatment, what i neglected while I was working in Oslo, so my skin needs a little pampering now. I am using the Jimjam's Beauty facial scrub with rice avocado ...

Favorite beauty products

A few months ago I realized that I need to take care about my skin more, because it started to look like I was a teenage again.  So I asked a professional beauty specialist, my best friend, to help me choose some skincare products. This is how I got to know the brand Solanie. Solanie is a Hungarian professional cosmetic brand with a 80 year history behind them. Their products is used by professional beauticians all over Hungary. And now by me in Norway. My favorite products from them is their Gentle Cleansing foam, Facial peeling cream, Phyto Tonic lotion, Vita-liposome day cream and two of their masks the Antiseborea and Multi- fruits fitomask. These products covers the skincare routine of a girl in their 20's with slightly problematic skin type, with a few other products like the Black soap and a vibrasonic facial cleaner, which helps to clean your skin deeper as you could ever do it with your hands. And I have to say, my skin looks and feels way better ...
