For most jobs in Norway, knowledge of the language is a prerequisite, although there are exceptions within some technical areas and in the tourism industry. One thing to keep in mind, however, is that municipalities offer free Norwegian language classes for those who have received job offers.

Business attire in Norway may be somewhat casual, but you should dress conservatively for the interview. Suits and ties are appropriate for men and tailored suits for women. The meeting generally starts with introductions, handshakes, and perhaps a bit of small talk. Be careful to address each person by title (Dr., Mr., Mrs., or Miss), and by last name.

During the interview, be respectful; avoid bragging and familiarity. The Norwegians are well educated, and they will expect you to be knowledgeable, competent and well-spoken.

This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete guide.
