Hidden vacancies

Sending speculative applications is a common method of applying for jobs in Norway. Details on where to find lists of companies for speculative applications can be found in job market. Remember to make a follow-up call to the company after you have sent your application.

In some sectors it is not unusual to visit a company unannounced to enquire about a job. Remember to take your CV with references and transcripts and ask to speak to someone in personnel or management.
