One-to-one

Talk it through with someone who has done the hiring

Most of what you need is in the guides and the playbook, and both are free or cheap on purpose. This is for when you want a specific read on your own situation, from someone who has screened these applications from the other side of the table.

Forty-five minutes, focused entirely on your case. You get a candid assessment and a short written summary afterward, so you are not trying to take notes and think at the same time.

What you get

One call, one honest read, and a written summary you can act on.

The call

45 minutes over video. We go straight to your situation: your CV, the sectors you are targeting, a specific decision you are stuck on.

The summary

A short written follow-up within two days. What stood out, what to fix first, and the order to do it in.

An honest read

Where your profile actually stands for the Norwegian market you are aiming at, including the parts that are inconvenient.

The playbook

The Norway Job Playbook is included. You get it the moment you book, so you can read it before we talk and we spend the call on you, not the basics.

The playbook

Included with every session

Every consultation comes with the Norway Job Playbook, the same one sold on its own. Read it before we talk and we cover far more in the 45 minutes.

Reality check
Will one call get me a job?

No. A call gets you an honest read on where you stand and what to fix first. The work is still yours to do.

If you want someone to promise a shortcut or a referral into a role, this is not that, and I would rather you kept your money.

Who this is for

Worth booking for some people, a waste of money for others.

A good fit

You have a real situation and want a straight answer

You are a skilled professional considering or pursuing a move to Norway. You want a candid read on your CV, your sector's appetite for non-Norwegian speakers, or one specific decision you are weighing. You have a real situation, not a hypothetical.

Not a fit

You want inspiration or a guarantee

You have not started yet and want general inspiration. The free guides are the better place to begin. Or you are looking for a guarantee, or for me to hand you a job, which I cannot sell you honestly.

Before you book

A few things worth knowing first.

What should I prepare?

Send your CV and the role or sector you are targeting when you book. The more specific, the more useful the 45 minutes.

What language?

English or Norwegian.

Can I reschedule?

Yes, up to 24 hours before through the booking link. Full refund if something is wrong on my end.

I'm an employer, not a candidate.

Then this is the wrong page. The employers page is the right place to start.
