【挪威】找工作心歷路程

剛剛離開一場面試,這場面試不禁讓我回想起在Tromso的這一年半,找工作的種種經歷,感觸很深。

2017年9月,我搬到Tromso。
2018年4月,我拿到居留證。
到現在2019年4月,我共經歷了5個階段。

A. 無頭蒼蠅

簽證不論在哪個國家,都很花時間。每一天、每一個禮拜、每一個月,都是漫長的等待。每天盼著收到政府的同意,讓我可以繼續我的人生(沒居留證不能工作、上學或離開挪威旅遊),但又害怕挪威政府不同意我留在這,幾個月的青春年華就這樣浪費了。

最後,我等了7個月才拿到我的那張居民小卡,一收到小卡賦予我的工作權,我就繼續那漫長的Job Hunt。孰不知,等待的時間還沒結束。
