Sammen om en jobb

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫? Quite a lot! Especially when you bring people together who are curious, open, and eager to share. ✨ Thank you to the team at PA Consulting in Oslo for welcoming us for One Hour Mentoring during Global Volunteer Week. ✨A special thank you to Marie Nustad for organizing and to Ali Rana for your presentation. ✅ Sammen om en jobb members shared their stories, experiences, and perspectives on entering the Norwegian job market. ✅ The PA consultants, in turn, shared insights from the consulting industry, how recruitment processes work, what skills they look for, and how to stand out as a candidate.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬? Last week, we hosted Cecilie M. in Stavanger. We wanted to learn what a recruiting process should ideally look like, and what participants' real-life experiences are. 🔵I didn't love to hear how many people feel discriminated against as job-seekers. 🔵At the same time, it's important to share these experiences. When there is a disconnect between best practice and lived experience, there is also a significant room for improvement. 🔵Check the slides below to learn how workshops participants experience the recruiting process, how individuals can navigate challenges, and what we in Sammen om en jobb think companies could consider. ❓We would love to hear YOUR experiences as a job-seeker. Do you recognize the challenges we discussed in our workshop? 🌻Thanks, Cecilie, for sharing your time and expertise with us: welcome back 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴 2 𝘢𝘯𝘥 3 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘊𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘦 𝘔𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘦.  𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴.

𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬: 𝐚𝐧 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐥 Dual career couples need career opportunities for two, not one, to thrive in a new location. Nevertheless, studies and reports point in the same direction: relocating for a partner's career often means your own takes a (temporary) hit. 💻 The Permits Foundation's 2022 global partner survey collected feedback from 730 partners and spouses across 103 host countries. Over 70% were women, almost 90% held a bachelor's degree or higher, and around 90% were employed before relocating. Almost all respondents wanted to work, yet only 53% worked (salaried employees and self-employment included). 74% would consider leaving because of restrictions on access to work in the host country. ❓ What about Norway? The Permits Foundation numbers were collected primarily from partners in countries where work permits for expat partners are not readily available. This is not the case in Norway, so things should be different here. Or? ✅ The figures shared above are reflected in Sammen om en jobb datasets from Rogaland: the majority of members are female, on a family visa with a partner who works here, and highly skilled. They worked before relocation and struggled to join the workforce in Norway. ✅ We are eagerly awaiting the publication of Şahizer Samuk (Carignani)'s ongoing research on highly skilled partners' inclusion in the Norwegian workforce for more formal Norwegian insights into this. Meanwhile, I encourage you to read about Laura Buchan's experiences in the carousel. If you want to share your own stories as partners moving to Norway, in the comments or directly with me, I'd be delighted!
