What Norway recruiters expect

Norwegian CVs follow Nordic + EU Europass conventions. 1-2 pages reverse-chronological. NAV (Arbeids- og velferdsetaten / nav.no) is the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration and runs Arbeidsplassen.no — the national jobseeker portal. Photo + DOB + marital status are LEGALLY discouraged under Likestillings- og diskrimineringsloven 2017. Most modern Norwegian CVs omit them entirely. Norwegian Bokmål for default; Nynorsk for specific public-sector or regional roles. English-only CVs are normal for tech / oil & gas / shipping / Equinor / Hydro. EU language framework. Date format DD.MM.YYYY. Fødselsnummer (national ID) NEVER on a public CV. Strong outbound corridor to Sweden, Denmark, UK, US.
