You don't say where you are from, if it's the EU you have a wider choice of possibilities since you can move to the Nordic countries to look for work. If you are from outside the EU, you'll need specialised, in-demand skills to find work here. It's very difficult to get a work permit for general labor or unskilled work. There is a lot of offshore/petroleum work available, especially in Norway, so that would be a good choice. Here are some possibilities, the more education and experience you have in that field, the better: -Engineering (petroleum/offshore, mechanical, chemical, electrical/electronic would probably be the best choices). -Some sciences (chemistry, geology). -Some technology, although you'll need extensive education/experience because there are many lower-level tech workers. -Healthcare professions (nurses, doctors, etc) are in high demand. -Qualified teaching, a graduate degree is best. If you want to work in the Nordic countries long term, it would make things much easier for you to learn a local language. While it's possible to get oil/gas work with only English, this usually means working for a British company in Norway. If you speak a Scandinavian language, you have more chance to be hired directly.
