    So your learning the language! "Hvordan har du det i dag?"
    If you learn the basics of teh language its much easier to get a job.

    Have you got experience with anything in print besides wide format?

    Jeg er bra, tusen takk :)
    For more then 5 years I have worked in some of the largest printing companies in my country on machines such as: Vutek, HP, Mimaki, Roland, Xeikon, Durst, i've even worked on board CNC machines and I've worked as a finisher (cutting, applying printing materials). Right now i'm working as a designer and photograph. I said to my self if i wasn't gonna have a collage i will learn to be a professional at what i do, and i chose Printing - that's the reason why i learned all the steps from design to the finalization of the printed product.

    Sounds like you got the experience you need!
    Im not shure about imigration related issues with working permits and stuff, but NAV (goverment agency) should be able to help you. www.nav.no

    You asked for big printers:
    - www.allkopi.no
    - www.copycat.no
    The two biggest copy-chains

    Besides that there are offset and print shops in every town.
    Do you have a working permit?

    well the working permit is the same as a living permit now in Norway - the rule is - you need a offer of employment and then you can apply for a living/working permit. So i need to find a employer that will hire me before i can do any thing.

    Well, its tricky to get a job without the usual interviewing etc.
    One thing that could work whould be to plan several interviews within a 2-3 day period, and visit the companies.

    When the employer has met you face to face, its much easier.
    What kind of salery are you looking for?

    That would be great but its a little hard to get an opportunity for interviews, im really good when it comes to communication at interviews (im opend and social so that helps)
    My visa was rejected because my salary was to low, and it was i think about 290 000nok
    I dont care what my start salary is, i know i got to prove my self, i just want to have a approved visa this time.
