Hi, I'm mexican, and I just wanted to say thanks to the makers of this video, recently I had a PhD-job interview in Oslo (via Skype). I can say that I follwed some of these advices, and it went really well, I won the position!!!. Is easy to watch, funny, and really usefull, thanks a lot!!!
Ronald and Mads, what can I say........always giving us education in the most enjoyable way! Mads I love your commentary, let’s see more of you! Love you both 🥰
Best job interview advice ever. Lol. I don't know how interviews go in my country, but I will graduate in July so I'm looking forward to have a successful job interview. Wish me luck guys 😂
First, very good and entertaining video as usual. Congatulations. You are very creative. Anyway your advice will work for any country. I've had job interviews in Portugal and in UK (different cultures) and I was successful cause I paid attention. No need to brag anywhere I think.
Wonderful advice no matter what country you're applying for a job in. You should be interested in the company you're hoping to work for. Bragging about your accomplishments is always a no no. You can let them know what you hope to bring to the table without tooting your own horn. I began a new job in January. During my interview they asked what I was looking for. I replied, "I want to find work I love until I retire or die, whichever comes first. If you hire me and I'm happy here," I looked at the HR man, "You may have to pry my cold, dead hands off of the freezer door!" Without skipping a beat he answered, "Oh no, that's Louise's job!" Knew I wanted to work there immediately. We laughed and the outcome was, I got the job and am very happy. I love my job and poor Louise may have a very unpleasant task to perform some day!
@@blanchekonieczka9935 Your welcome! O hope you and Louise become long life friends and you go climb the corporate ladder in your job, Good Luck, your friend in Texas, Linda, Helt Texas
This is good advice. It applies in the US as well. I suggest you share this with your young adult children because we all know advice from parents is rarely welcome but they might listen to a couple of friendly Norwegians. 😂
I've just had a job interview in Oslo and have got the job, and looking forward to moving to Oslo at the end of Feb 2020! I found your video really helpful to prep, so thankyou! I just wanted to also add something that might come in handy to everyone that was not mentioned in your interview. The strong Norwegian handshake! It was mentioned to me by the recruiter, who was involved in this job search. A firm handshake plays a big part in how you are perceived. Your video was spot on about how Personality is key, and the advice on choosing something smart casual to wear was excellent. So thank you and I've subscribed! :)
Wow, congrats Madi!!! And yes, the handshake is a thing here - so thanks for adding. Its very motivating to read your story :) :) Hope to see you around here - please say hello if you see us in the streets. Welcome to Norway and good luck Madi Vithana. Cheers from Ronald & Mads
I love the effort you went to to create this little scene. It's great to hear that Norwegian workplaces care about work/life balance. We don't have that healthy focus here in New Zealand.
Good video. Make them laugh by being self-deprecating, not by telling funny jokes. It shows you are humble enough to laugh at yourself. Norwegian love humility.
yeah, ive noticed that polite socializing with everyone is very important in norway. although often it feels like pointless chatter, but i guess its to show that everyone matters, which is a good thing. i love the non hierarchical work system in here. everyone is equal kind of. very informational clip this one for foreigners
You can not imagine how much this video help me , before my first jobb interview in Norway. Thank you so much for the content, and for making it in a fun way.
It’s a bad sign, in my experience, if a company expects you to hang out with your coworkers after work or on weekends. I would run NOT WALK. Here in the US such a company culture means that your life belongs to us and you’re never “off” work. If you make friends with your coworkers and hang out with them AFTER you were hired, that’s different.
Yes, agree with you. Luckily you are not expected to hang a lot, just for mid years parties and team stuff. But many norwegians are friends with their co-workers, so the culture get influenced by this
I found that (back in the day when did job interviews) if I made the interviewer laugh I generally got the job. So that holds true even here in the States. Now I'm retired and I'll never have to go through that again (hopefully). Enjoyed the video! I love that it made me laugh!
I retired here in the States as well. Then actually *did* have to go back to work (long story). Twice. It had been a zillion years since I'd interviewed anywhere, but I did get hired. (No one was more surprised than I was.) Twice. Now I'm really, really *done*.
Love this, I think my country (Australia) is an interesting mix of both things you guys describe. Boasting is a no no, showing what you can offer the company and your research on the job is most important and being humble and modest. What you can offer them is the main thing & showing you know the company and what they do/stand for & how you'll fit in perfectly to their culture. Making them laugh is a winner too. However, we work way too long and hard, often for no money, unpaid overtime is way too big, a bit like Japan, so saying you'd work 12 hours a day would be loved. It's a crazy country here, way crazier than Norway I think......you two are so much fun!
I was watching this, with my 4 year old granddaughter sitting next to me. When she saw the dolls, she said grandma they play with legos. Was a funny moment, love your videos and Mads little quips.
LOL, every job I got, where I wasn't hired on the spot, I called them and MADE them hire me! I had two daughters to raise alone, and I wasn't taking any excuses!
Hi, Ronald and Mads, Loved this video, as it was very enlightening, showing how far employment in the U.S. needs to advance... Engaging with a boss outside of work is usually viewed negatively, as it interferes with employer/employee relationship. Some employers here will secretely check on the applicants' social media pages and if they find something they dislike, it can negatively affect the interview outcome. Work hours in the U.S. can be brutal for salaried personnel. 80-100 hours a week (including weekends) is not unusual. To turn down the work can mean loss of job. I've known employers who've expected employees to answer e-mails and calls while on vacations. Speaking of which, you two should do a grand tour of the U.S. Your subscribers would most likely house you, and you could introduce yourself to all of our foods, home made and otherwise! Keep the videos coming. We need more screen time for Mads. Your videos have certainly entertained us, to the extreme, even on more serious topics. Ronald's explanations are informative and hilarious. When will you put out a feature length film? We love you two!
Very helpful. I am thinking about looking for a part-time job when I start college in Oslo. Good to know the workplace attire is smart casual. Good to know that I don't have to brag. I don't have anything to brag about. I LOVE WORK-LIFE BALANCE! :D Here in the Philippines, the interview is very much like US job interviews. You have to dress nicely, you have to tell about your achievements, etc.
In Canada during the olden days, a person could be hired on the spot based solely upon first impressions and résumé. Nowadays it is a 2 or 3 interview process with one or 2 individuals doing the asking. To be honest, I am trained with 30+ years experience in the restaurant & hospitality industry and i f I am seeking a job it means that I NEED it Now, and not 2 weeks from now! In All my years, I have never had an initial interview that hasn't resulted in either being hired on the spot or me arriving home to a message on my answering machine! I believe that I have perfected the Art Of The Job Interview 😋
Just when I think you two guys can't get any better and wham! This informative and hilarious video appears. I love everything about your vlog. Keep teaching and entertaining us.💕
Lol I think it's Rob green trousers and his grabby hands that did it. In the U.S., it doesn't hurt to be over-dressed, especially when you work with the public. This doesn't include jobs like waiting tables, construction work, cook, etc. Even jobs that doesn't pay much may require a jacket or a suit. I love that Norwegians put effort in trying to get a good fit for the job and the company. It's not about just technical skills.
You nailed how the USA does interviews. Its truly amazing how much more advanced socially your country is, compared to ours. Soo, does Rob start off speaking Norwegian? Or can he speak English? Great video as always, hilarious! You guys certainly have a unique channel!
Thank you for this. I'm currently trying to apply for jobs in Norway. So a brilliant video. Here in the UK I work for the HMG (Her Majesties Government). I also am an interviewer. We have a panel of three and interviews are very formal and structured. All questions are competence based and you have to answer them demonstrating what you have done in the situation we have asked about. All three will ask questions and the chair (me) will cover off anything missed we may also delve deeper if we are interested or to help you answer better 👍. So jobs you will also have to sit an assessment centre, so a presentation of a subject you get 15 mins before hand, interview on that, a written of maths test. Like writing a paper of building a spreadsheet to solve a problem. Then another formal interview and sometimes a group exercise. How the hell I got a job and to were I am today I'll never know. Fingers crossed I can get a job in Norway 🤔
I am from India 🇮🇳 and I got the job agreement without Face to Face interview. But I appreciate my norwigian employer not because thay believe my skills but the way of thay Treat me and the way of asking questions. As my experience with Norwegian company is 10/10. Thay are asking some casual questions thay are not looking for the skills but thay are looking for the chereøctor which actually suitable for company environment. I got a lot of help from the company during immigration in Norway.. really norwigian are very good.. In the other hand I have experience in gulf and the work environment which was totally wrose.. I am recommended not to move in gulf country it is totally explonation.
I am a retired engineer in America. During the 70's and 80's the way you got a job was either 1) Know somebody on the inside or 2) Send your resume to Human Relations (along with thousands of other resumes). 1) was a sure thing while 2) was a long shot. For 1) the manager of the person you knew on the inside would interview you and if your insider was well respected you got hired. For 2) you would be contacted if a hiring manager liked your resume. Also, male engineers wore ties until the mid 80's and then suddenly NOBODY wore a tie except the old guys. It quickly morphed from "Hawaiian Shirt Friday" to "whatever" 5 days a week. Exceptions were you still wore a tie to job interviews or if giving a presentation to non-company personnel. By the 2000's knowing somebody on the inside was less of a sure thing as you were no longer interviewed by a single person but by a "team" similar to what you have described. Back in the 80's one manager who hired me asked me if I was a smoker. I told him I thought smoking was awful, he smiled, and hired me. 20 years later he could have been fired for asking a question like that. I have no problem with it but I am not PC. By 2000 companies had websites where they list what they are looking for and you could apply online. A lot easier than mail or physically dropping off your resume.
So funny! 😂 I’ve talked to many locals and it’s basically like that.. the most important thing is chemistry. Work life balance is so important and I love that! People are way happier because of it, everything is at slower pace. Working from 8 am to 7 pm.. what?? Nei nei! 😂 There’s so much more work offers in Norway, the Netherlands is overpopulated and getting a job is hard and you’ll need to brag your way into even getting an interview, though in Norway you’ll need the language in most cases, there’s a lot more question for employees in many professions. I’m looking into moving to Norway, I absolutely love it there, it feels more at home than my own country 😍. Trying to move my creative business that way... which is another challenge, but let’s see! 😘❤️🇳🇴
I think all people from Netherlands are potential candiadtes in Norway - if you dont need to talk Norwegian all the time (public work, healthcare etc)You would fit right in! Norwegian would not be a problem for you to learn!! Sorry we did not have time to meet up - its been a busy spring.
YOURWAY2NORWAY I blended right in with the folk 😂.. Norwegians are the laid back Steiner version of the Dutch. Learning Norwegian as we speak! But indeed.. not everything needs the language, but it’ll make life much easier! 🤗
I didn't think I would ever stop laughing when I saw the little characters sitting at the little table and the cardboard wall! "Three weeks later". Oh no, started laughing again. Where on Earth did you get that little song at the end? Sounds like it came from a 70's TV show. Thanks for the laughs.
Loved this, pretty funny! In the southwestern US (New Mexico, where I live, but also Arizona and California) the level of formality in dress is generally "casual business" unless you're going for upper-level business or management which would be suits and a tie or a nice dress for women. Generally there's also only one interviewer and directly in charge of the position you're applying for. You'll be asked about general experiences you've had, anything that stands out on your resume, and almost always they'll ask silly things like, "what's your greatest weakness?" (and you're meant to say something vaguely not that bad while turning it around into a positive). In upper management and business, they want to know how good you are at schmoozing and if you're a team player (generally, will you work late without being paid overtime, or help people with things outside your main job description).
As long as it isn't too impressive🤣 Maybe go with this one? ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1T992SXXXXXaxaXXXq6xXFXXXv/New-Stylish-Children-Infant-Handmade-casual-Crochet-Winter-Hat-Viking-Horns-cotton-Hat-Knitted-Hat-one.jpg_640x640.jpg
Great video. I learned something more about Norwegian culture. Thank you again. Oh and I can’t believe anyone would expect to get a job in another country without speaking at least a high intermediate level of the language. I would like to say I’ve had panel interviews and it’s kind of common sense to make eye contact and speak to each person in the group equally. They are there for a reason. And someone might be very quiet and not ask you any questions so you ignore him/her and then when you leave they won’t like you or have positive things to say about you. You should treat each person equally and respectfully. And you should make complete eye contact and listen quietly when someone else is speaking. Just my cross cultural thoughts. 🙂 I like that Norway hires mice. Saves a lot on salaries and overhead. Short lifespan and no whining about vacations. 👍🏼
You fun guys what family's kids toys did you borrow?????🤣😂😁🤣or are these your favorite childhood toys???🤣😂🤣your creativity is out of bounds!!! Poor rob he fretted for days on what to wear to the interview!! Maybe took a spot and shine at the spa!! He really dresses in sandals or loafers in khaki pants and hipster shirts! rob needs the job! Love and summer sunshine in your lemony norway!🤗🍋🍋
Hei Ronald and Mads. This is great- so funny, I love the 'workplace' setting and love Rob in 'casual clothes' lol! Things have changed, I remember an interview in Oslo in the early 1980's, as I shook the interviewer's hand he clicked his heels together, you would never see Norwegian male do that now! Very old fashioned. In the U.K. you are generally expected to wear a business suit and are often quite formal. The difference here is that you are expected to sell yourself. A long running joke is that you may be asked 'Where do you see yourself in ten years?' Ha! Another entertaining vid. Tusen Takk. Johnny. Northwest England. U.K.
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY Thanks Ronald and Mads. I'm glad you liked the story, I forgot to say that I got the job! Thanks for thinking of Mor. Maine Takk. Johnny. Northwest England. U.K.
Ronald and Mads, Norway sounds and looks like a nice place to live. It's almost like the government and employers are aware a proper work/life balance makes for a more productive and happier worker! The gov't. and employers here in the US don't care about happy productive workers, really. Every once in a while we'll hear about a company that cares about it's workers, but it's rare! P.S. I love you guys, you always make me laugh. Keep up the great work. Also, just for fun, I made my husband a mattpake to bring to lunch, and he didn't even divorce me!
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY I am sorry, but not caring about their employees is not true at all in my opinion. I am 55 and have been working since I was 16 years old and I have never had an employer in the US who did not care about their employees. Not too sure where you are working, April. I am sorry you don't have employers that care about you and your fellow coworkers.
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY YASSSSSSSSSS! Cannot resist a comment about our beloved #GrumpyMads! But the HSP in me can't leave it like that with one person being "loved less" (I KNOW it's not a freakin' competition but I'm just *made* that way ;) ;) ) so I'm going to say love you both, but I love Ronald most of all because I am quirky too. :*
thank you for great tips! in the interview there was my sjef and the nestleder. i would say it is important also to participate in the activities with other colleagues (trip, felles lunch, julebord)
Very cool and motivating to hear Alina Furdui. Thanks for sharing. We are sure you will be a hit in the interview. Good luck! Cheers from Ronald and Mads :):)
As a programmer for most of my life, I've had an opportunity to interview many candidates. One thing I would always do, is to ask the candidate an obscure technical question they were unlikely to know. My fellow employees never understood why I did it, but the reason wasn't because I expected the correct answer, it was to see if the person was honest enough to simply say "I don't know" or if there would try to bs or invent an answer when they clearly had no idea. Is this a technique that might be used in Norway?
Hihi. good for Rob. In my job interviews they always asked what I want to learn in the job. And they mostly ask what kind of person I am??? And how I act in stress situations.
I love you guys! Interviews are very similar here, though the way to dress will be different depending on the job and the region you live in. Here in California near San Francisco, it's a very casual culture, so it's not so necessary to get dressed up for most interviews. I agree that the first meeting is definitely about chemistry! I'm curious: when is it appropriate for a Norwegian to wear more formal clothes? Thanks for the great video!
Funerals, weddings or going to court trying not to look like a guilty criminal, that or celebrating 17th of may or other important occasions where showing some respect is in order. That or going to a fancy nightclub with overpriced drinks and immature gold diggers armed with greed, STD and mental problems.
In the US I always had job interviews with one person at a time in the room with me, though in might have to talk to as many as three people, sequentially. Often between interviews they made me wait in a waiting room, where other people would pass by and peek in. I'm naturally friendly, so I would smile at them, and I always got the job. Interestingly the one job I didn't get was when I let someone pass without smiling at them -- I must have been tired or something that day. So yes, while US companies certainly want someone competent, they also want someone who will get along with others.
Lolz. I love your depictions of all the people! You guys are sooooo cute and funny. Very truthful advice, you have to acknowledge all the people in the room, it's like that in the USA too, don't ignore any of the people, give them all equal attention. And no, bragging isn't good here either, neither is lying on a resume, they always find out. It sounds like job interviews are the same here as in Norway. Except for the work life balance, that doesn't exist in the USA!
This is funny and yet SO true at the same time. My son recently landed an incredible job with a major global tech company (think one of the FANG biggies) and he did (1) dress neatly, but casually, (2) refuse to brag (3) make them laugh. So you were absolutely on the money! (And the money -- even though he didn't ask about it in interview #1 -- was amazing.) Thanks for another great video!
I really like the way the videos are made !!! for a long time i think of coming to norway now .... uaaalllll !!! end of the month I'm there !! continue with this disposition and this team that displays these videos. my congratulations very cool. 👍🏼
Thank God I nearly always worked for myself... I did have one job interview... the Boss, who was a tall man, just took one look at my four & a half foot height and decided (mentally) I would be useless... I was smart and offered to work for two weeks trial, for FREE & he agreed... In the end he was blown away with my skills and hired me full-time with a raise immediately... When I left after three years to travel to Europe for an undetermined time (when I went to Norway)... he paid me a huge bonus to be sure I would come back to work for him again. I came back nine years later and he immediately offered me a big amount of money to work for him again...
Awesome video :) Here in NZ is pretty much the same. If you apply for a technical role, people would expect you to come in t-shirt and jean. If you come in a suit, then people would tend to think that your technical skill is not that good and you are trying to hide your weakness behind your suit. Chemistry is definitely very important and to get that probably the candidate would need to understand the local culture. A little bit of humor and smile/laugh won't hurt as well here. Not sure if humor can be accepted in Scandinavian countries, since the people tend to look very serious :)
Very cool to learn about worklife in NZ and how similar it is to our way and norms. Hehe, the clue is to bring forward smiles, a loose and chatty atmosphere, not trying to do a stand uo act. Too much laughter would of course not be accepted ;) Thanks for sharing your story with us aik1. Cheers from Ronald and Mads
I am literally CRYING with laughter! And it hurts b/c I have a chest infection and sound like Bumley (from the cartoon characters Råttesen og Bumley - Dastardly and Muttley in English) when I laugh. How you managed to make this video really useful AND just SO SO funny is incredible. I mean when "Rob" offered to do squats I almost needed oxygen I was laughing so hard. You guys are the best thing about you tube and this was the Best. EVER. YWTN. video. #LOVE
How timely! I have a job interview in the morning. I just moved here, but I'm not sure how Norwegian sensibilities will play here in the American south, but if I get stuck, I will definitely try to work in a little humor. Thanks, guys!
We dress up in the U.S. for job interviews. How much depends on where you are applying. We send a resume so they know what you are qualified for. If they weren't interested they wouldn't have called for an interview. I agree you shouldn't brag. I personally find bragging distasteful. Your resume tells them about your qualifications. You should be interested in learning about the company. Great advice. Love y'all too.
Fantastic video! How is smoking viewed among employers and Co-workers in Norway? I’m just really curious. A lot of our employers here no longer even have areas to smoke outside any longer. Thank you and keep up the awesome videos! :)
The same is happening here. Especially in public work places. But people who smoke would stillnot be discriminated. But I think they dont mention it in the first interview..
My experience in the US has been a 30 minute "screening" phone call by the recruiter or HR to see if you have the skills and their salary request is in alignment with their budget. If you pass the screener, you get an hour with the potential manager over Skype. If you pass that, you get 2-4 hours in person with 3-4 people and you have to present examples of your work like they were potential clients. Then you wait for the call. Your only follow up is a thank you email to each person. If you get an offer, you can negotiate salary. You do dress casual. Nice slacks and blouse or button down shirt. Tell them how you feel you can fit with the team and organization. Research the people who are interviewing them and talk about what you have in common. Tell them how you can hit the ground running because you have experience doing the job responsibilities. No one has ever asked about my hobbies until after I get the job. You only talk about money with the recruiter/HR. NEVER with the manager or other people who interview you. If HR is in the interview, you only talk about money when it's just the two of you.
Why is the project manager wondering what's for lunch? She didn't make her matpakke before work? (Maybe she made it before she had her coffee, so she didn't remember which tube she squeezed). Hahaha - doing pushups on the table. :D And, yes, I heard the background sound effects as he was waiting in the cafe for his job offer. Brilliant video. I loved the dialog, the 'lessons', the humor and the props. Thank you for this - it was completely delightful.
We have a group, also 2-3 people, you dress business casual and they ask you about 10 questions on how you have previously handled typical work problems. Each person takes a turn asking a question. They rate your answers. You know you have it if they chat you up after the interview. You always research the company and ask questions even if you already know the answers to show interest.
These days in the U.S. you don’t need to wear a suit mostly but you should look “smart”. You also need to “brag”‘about yourself some - not too much but they want to see confidence - and KNOW about the company before the interview. PLEASE create more videos!!! In the U.S. right now our country is a MESS and we need things that make us laugh 🤪
Thanks for your engagement N. D. I, Ronald, work with research and marketing strategy. Mads is director and producer within TV. Both of us are sometimes tired of clients telling us what to do and we needed to learn more about digital media, so we created this channel :)
I really like your movies! It's quite interesting to hear about norwegian work culture. It's look quite different in my country - Poland. Here they look for your experience and formality and culture.

It’s a bad sign, in my experience, if a company expects you to hang out with your coworkers after work or on weekends. I would run NOT WALK. Here in the US such a company culture means that your life belongs to us and you’re never “off” work.
If you make friends with your coworkers and hang out with them AFTER you were hired, that’s different.
Yes, agree with you. Luckily you are not expected to hang a lot, just for mid years parties and team stuff. But many norwegians are friends with their co-workers, so the culture get influenced by this
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY yeah I would say it's the same here in the US.
I found that (back in the day when did job interviews) if I made the interviewer laugh I generally got the job. So that holds true even here in the States. Now I'm retired and I'll never have to go through that again (hopefully). Enjoyed the video! I love that it made me laugh!
I retired here in the States as well. Then actually *did* have to go back to work (long story). Twice. It had been a zillion years since I'd interviewed anywhere, but I did get hired. (No one was more surprised than I was.) Twice. Now I'm really, really *done*.
Love that specific norwegian sense of humor😅
Excellent video! Greatly enjoyed☺
Love this, I think my country (Australia) is an interesting mix of both things you guys describe. Boasting is a no no, showing what you can offer the company and your research on the job is most important and being humble and modest. What you can offer them is the main thing & showing you know the company and what they do/stand for & how you'll fit in perfectly to their culture. Making them laugh is a winner too. However, we work way too long and hard, often for no money, unpaid overtime is way too big, a bit like Japan, so saying you'd work 12 hours a day would be loved. It's a crazy country here, way crazier than Norway I think......you two are so much fun!
Awesome story and insights from Australia 👌 Thanks for taking time and effort sharing with us. Cheers from Ronald and Mads 😃😃
I was watching this, with my 4 year old granddaughter sitting next to me. When she saw the dolls, she said grandma they play with legos. Was a funny moment, love your videos and Mads little quips.
Oh - very touching. We love that this communicate to all ages :) :) Love!
i know what you mean 😁 the are playing with legos 😂😂
I thumbs up right away, but I also know that I will indeed love the new video! Thank you for this facet!
Indeed.. that IS a given.
LOL, every job I got, where I wasn't
hired on the spot, I called them and MADE them hire me! I had two daughters to raise alone, and I wasn't taking any excuses!
Hi, Ronald and Mads,
Loved this video, as it was very enlightening, showing how far employment in the U.S. needs to advance...
Engaging with a boss outside of work is usually viewed negatively, as it interferes with employer/employee relationship.
Some employers here will secretely check on the applicants' social media pages and if they find something they dislike, it can negatively affect the interview outcome. Work hours in the U.S. can be brutal for salaried personnel. 80-100 hours a week (including weekends) is not unusual. To turn down the work can mean loss of job. I've known employers who've expected employees to answer e-mails and calls while on vacations.
Speaking of which, you two should do a grand tour of the U.S. Your subscribers would most likely house you, and you could introduce yourself to all of our foods, home made and otherwise!
Keep the videos coming. We need more screen time for Mads. Your videos have certainly entertained us, to the extreme, even on more serious topics. Ronald's explanations are informative and hilarious. When will you put out a feature length film?
We love you two!
Love you too. What a great comment. Running out of battery here, so I can't text more. Love your input. Best Mads 😊
Very helpful. I am thinking about looking for a part-time job when I start college in Oslo. Good to know the workplace attire is smart casual. Good to know that I don't have to brag. I don't have anything to brag about. I LOVE WORK-LIFE BALANCE! :D
Here in the Philippines, the interview is very much like US job interviews. You have to dress nicely, you have to tell about your achievements, etc.
Your props are always so funny - insane!
In Canada during the olden days, a person could be hired on the spot based solely upon first impressions and résumé. Nowadays it is a 2 or 3 interview process with one or 2 individuals doing the asking. To be honest, I am trained with 30+ years experience in the restaurant & hospitality industry and i f I am seeking a job it means that I NEED it Now, and not 2 weeks from now! In All my years, I have never had an initial interview that hasn't resulted in either being hired on the spot or me arriving home to a message on my answering machine! I believe that I have perfected the Art Of The Job Interview 😋
We think so too!! Congrats :):) And thanks a lot for sharing
Just when I think you two guys can't get any better and wham! This informative and hilarious video appears. I love everything about your vlog. Keep teaching and entertaining us.💕
Thanks for being so nice and awesome roni d :):)
SO GOOD! More on this topic!!!
🤣🤣🙌 your mice! that diorama of a job interview... you are awesomely awesome.
Eskimo Homestead in Alaska I wish so much that they’d get picked up for a TV gig in the states..I wait for every vid to come out cuz they’re epic!😂💗
@@deniseherud They are awesome! America needs this kind of humor!
Lol I think it's Rob green trousers and his grabby hands that did it.
In the U.S., it doesn't hurt to be over-dressed, especially when you work with the public. This doesn't include jobs like waiting tables, construction work, cook, etc.
Even jobs that doesn't pay much may require a jacket or a suit.
I love that Norwegians put effort in trying to get a good fit for the job and the company.
It's not about just technical skills.
The green pants have eliminated poor Rob from the time he walked in the room. And they don't even know about his vinyl collection.
🤣🤣🤣
oh, they knew about the vinyl collection the second they saw those green pants.
Hahahaha. That vinyl collection.
I'm so happy some noticed the vinyl collection. It was quite a struggle to draw that tiny rack with a whiteboard marker 😜 Best Mads 😊
This is excellent advice for anywhere.
You nailed how the USA does interviews. Its truly amazing how much more advanced socially your country is, compared to ours. Soo, does Rob start off speaking Norwegian? Or can he speak English? Great video as always, hilarious! You guys certainly have a unique channel!
Thank you for this. I'm currently trying to apply for jobs in Norway. So a brilliant video. Here in the UK I work for the HMG (Her Majesties Government). I also am an interviewer. We have a panel of three and interviews are very formal and structured. All questions are competence based and you have to answer them demonstrating what you have done in the situation we have asked about. All three will ask questions and the chair (me) will cover off anything missed we may also delve deeper if we are interested or to help you answer better 👍. So jobs you will also have to sit an assessment centre, so a presentation of a subject you get 15 mins before hand, interview on that, a written of maths test. Like writing a paper of building a spreadsheet to solve a problem. Then another formal interview and sometimes a group exercise. How the hell I got a job and to were I am today I'll never know. Fingers crossed I can get a job in Norway 🤔
Thanks a lot for that story. Interesting to hear about how job interviews are done in your country. Especially for HMG :)
I am from India 🇮🇳 and I got the job agreement without Face to Face interview. But I appreciate my norwigian employer not because thay believe my skills but the way of thay Treat me and the way of asking questions. As my experience with Norwegian company is 10/10. Thay are asking some casual questions thay are not looking for the skills but thay are looking for the chereøctor which actually suitable for company environment. I got a lot of help from the company during immigration in Norway.. really norwigian are very good..
In the other hand I have experience in gulf and the work environment which was totally wrose.. I am recommended not to move in gulf country it is totally explonation.
Love your story and insights from around the world. Thanks a lot for sharing 👌😀
Yes, I am really happy with my Norwegian company. Now I am indonorwigian 🇳🇴🇮🇳
This is hysterical!
You are amazing my friend, love you 😍
Fabulous! Wish it was like that in the U.S.!
I am a retired engineer in America. During the 70's and 80's the way you got a job was either 1) Know somebody on the inside or 2) Send your resume to Human Relations (along with thousands of other resumes). 1) was a sure thing while 2) was a long shot. For 1) the manager of the person you knew on the inside would interview you and if your insider was well respected you got hired. For 2) you would be contacted if a hiring manager liked your resume. Also, male engineers wore ties until the mid 80's and then suddenly NOBODY wore a tie except the old guys. It quickly morphed from "Hawaiian Shirt Friday" to "whatever" 5 days a week. Exceptions were you still wore a tie to job interviews or if giving a presentation to non-company personnel. By the 2000's knowing somebody on the inside was less of a sure thing as you were no longer interviewed by a single person but by a "team" similar to what you have described. Back in the 80's one manager who hired me asked me if I was a smoker. I told him I thought smoking was awful, he smiled, and hired me. 20 years later he could have been fired for asking a question like that. I have no problem with it but I am not PC. By 2000 companies had websites where they list what they are looking for and you could apply online. A lot easier than mail or physically dropping off your resume.
Awesome insights and history lesson 👌👌 Thanks a lot for taking time and effort sharing your story with us
This was actually very helpful, informative,and excellent . Great presentation fellows. As always, thank you very much!
Cool to hear 😃 Good luck 🤞
So funny! 😂 I’ve talked to many locals and it’s basically like that.. the most important thing is chemistry. Work life balance is so important and I love that! People are way happier because of it, everything is at slower pace. Working from 8 am to 7 pm.. what?? Nei nei! 😂 There’s so much more work offers in Norway, the Netherlands is overpopulated and getting a job is hard and you’ll need to brag your way into even getting an interview, though in Norway you’ll need the language in most cases, there’s a lot more question for employees in many professions. I’m looking into moving to Norway, I absolutely love it there, it feels more at home than my own country 😍. Trying to move my creative business that way... which is another challenge, but let’s see! 😘❤️🇳🇴
I think all people from Netherlands are potential candiadtes in Norway - if you dont need to talk Norwegian all the time (public work, healthcare etc)You would fit right in! Norwegian would not be a problem for you to learn!! Sorry we did not have time to meet up - its been a busy spring.
YOURWAY2NORWAY I blended right in with the folk 😂.. Norwegians are the laid back Steiner version of the Dutch. Learning Norwegian as we speak! But indeed.. not everything needs the language, but it’ll make life much easier! 🤗
Hahaha, Steiner version - I love it, hahaha
I was caught between listening to your advice and looking at your adorable toy mice!
Another great video. ❤️❤️❤️
I didn't think I would ever stop laughing when I saw the little characters sitting at the little table and the cardboard wall! "Three weeks later". Oh no, started laughing again.
Where on Earth did you get that little song at the end? Sounds like it came from a 70's TV show. Thanks for the laughs.
You should do a Hiking episode...Cabin culture...you guys are the best
We have been talking about making that video. Thanks for sharing and engaging with us 😃😃
Loved this, pretty funny! In the southwestern US (New Mexico, where I live, but also Arizona and California) the level of formality in dress is generally "casual business" unless you're going for upper-level business or management which would be suits and a tie or a nice dress for women. Generally there's also only one interviewer and directly in charge of the position you're applying for. You'll be asked about general experiences you've had, anything that stands out on your resume, and almost always they'll ask silly things like, "what's your greatest weakness?" (and you're meant to say something vaguely not that bad while turning it around into a positive). In upper management and business, they want to know how good you are at schmoozing and if you're a team player (generally, will you work late without being paid overtime, or help people with things outside your main job description).
So cute, Rob is doing sit ups!😁😆
Is it mandatory to wear a Viking helmet to interviews? It would be my casual helmet.
As long as it isn't too impressive🤣
Maybe go with this one?

Great video. I learned something more about Norwegian culture. Thank you again. Oh and I can’t believe anyone would expect to get a job in another country without speaking at least a high intermediate level of the language.
I would like to say I’ve had panel interviews and it’s kind of common sense to make eye contact and speak to each person in the group equally. They are there for a reason. And someone might be very quiet and not ask you any questions so you ignore him/her and then when you leave they won’t like you or have positive things to say about you. You should treat each person equally and respectfully. And you should make complete eye contact and listen quietly when someone else is speaking. Just my cross cultural thoughts. 🙂 I like that Norway hires mice. Saves a lot on salaries and overhead. Short lifespan and no whining about vacations. 👍🏼
😂🐭😂
You fun guys what family's kids toys did you borrow?????🤣😂😁🤣or are these your favorite childhood toys???🤣😂🤣your creativity is out of bounds!!! Poor rob he fretted for days on what to wear to the interview!! Maybe took a spot and shine at the spa!! He really dresses in sandals or loafers in khaki pants and hipster shirts! rob needs the job! Love and summer sunshine in your lemony norway!🤗🍋🍋
Hei Ronald and Mads. This is great- so funny, I love the 'workplace' setting and love Rob in 'casual clothes' lol! Things have changed, I remember an interview in Oslo in the early 1980's, as I shook the interviewer's hand he clicked his heels together, you would never see Norwegian male do that now! Very old fashioned. In the U.K. you are generally expected to wear a business suit and are often quite formal. The difference here is that you are expected to sell yourself. A long running joke is that you may be asked 'Where do you see yourself in ten years?' Ha!
Another entertaining vid. Tusen Takk.
Johnny. Northwest England. U.K.
Love your story from Oslo. I can hear the heels clicking 👌😂 Takk for at du deler. Hils Mor
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY Thanks Ronald and Mads. I'm glad you liked the story, I forgot to say that I got the job! Thanks for thinking of Mor. Maine Takk. Johnny.

Ronald and Mads, Norway sounds and looks like a nice place to live. It's almost like the government and employers are aware a proper work/life balance makes for a more productive and happier worker! The gov't. and employers here in the US don't care about happy productive workers, really. Every once in a while we'll hear about a company that cares about it's workers, but it's rare! P.S. I love you guys, you always make me laugh. Keep up the great work. Also, just for fun, I made my husband a mattpake to bring to lunch, and he didn't even divorce me!
😂😂 he must have some hidden Norwegian DNA. Thanks for sharing your story with us
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY I am sorry, but not caring about their employees is not true at all in my opinion. I am 55 and have been working since I was 16 years old and I have never had an employer in the US who did not care about their employees. Not too sure where you are working, April. I am sorry you don't have employers that care about you and your fellow coworkers.
Jeg søker jobber i Norge. Denne er hjelpsom, takk!
So informative on your professional culture.
i love you guys, but i love Mads most of all, cause i am grumpy too.
😘😘
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY YASSSSSSSSSS! Cannot resist a comment about our beloved #GrumpyMads! But the HSP in me can't leave it like that with one person being "loved less" (I KNOW it's not a freakin' competition but I'm just *made* that way ;) ;) ) so I'm going to say love you both, but I love Ronald most of all because I am quirky too. :*
is their much of a coffee culture in Norway? could you make a video on a Coffee Shop in Norway?
Yes it is!! And thanks for the idea :)
thank you for great tips! in the interview there was my sjef and the nestleder. i would say it is important also to participate in the activities with other colleagues (trip, felles lunch, julebord)
Also as we learnt from the #YourWayToNorway Christmas video, Mads' own personal favourite thing - the work Christmas outing! ;)
This actually made me look forward to the interview! :) Thanks for that!
Very cool and motivating to hear Alina Furdui. Thanks for sharing. We are sure you will be a hit in the interview. Good luck! Cheers from Ronald and Mads :):)
As a programmer for most of my life, I've had an opportunity to interview many candidates. One thing I would always do, is to ask the candidate an obscure technical question they were unlikely to know. My fellow employees never understood why I did it, but the reason wasn't because I expected the correct answer, it was to see if the person was honest enough to simply say "I don't know" or if there would try to bs or invent an answer when they clearly had no idea. Is this a technique that might be used in Norway?
Very interesting and useful tool. Some use the same in Norway. Thanks for sharing 👌😀
Hihi. good for Rob.
In my job interviews they always asked what I want to learn in the job.
And they mostly ask what kind of person I am??? And how I act in stress situations.
Thanks for sharing and adding - the stress question is common in many interviews I think.
Can you do a little more detail about the second interview. Love this video, lighthearted but really good information. You guys rock!
Great video. Very interested and important. Tusen takk
Can you recommend place/ school to learn Norwegian,please?
Bravo! 👏🏻💖💕❤️
I love you guys!
Interviews are very similar here, though the way to dress will be different depending on the job and the region you live in. Here in California near San Francisco, it's a very casual culture, so it's not so necessary to get dressed up for most interviews.
I agree that the first meeting is definitely about chemistry!
I'm curious: when is it appropriate for a Norwegian to wear more formal clothes?
Thanks for the great video!
Funerals, weddings or going to court trying not to look like a guilty criminal, that or celebrating 17th of may or other important occasions where showing some respect is in order. That or going to a fancy nightclub with overpriced drinks and immature gold diggers armed with greed, STD and mental problems.
Tusen takk! Great tips! 😀😀 I wanna to watch more work tips video. 😚
Motz and you play off each other perfectly lol I love when he interjects it's perfect ! Keep them up !
In the US I always had job interviews with one person at a time in the room with me, though in might have to talk to as many as three people, sequentially. Often between interviews they made me wait in a waiting room, where other people would pass by and peek in. I'm naturally friendly, so I would smile at them, and I always got the job. Interestingly the one job I didn't get was when I let someone pass without smiling at them -- I must have been tired or something that day. So yes, while US companies certainly want someone competent, they also want someone who will get along with others.
Love your story!! Thanks for sharing 👌😻
Lolz. I love your depictions of all the people! You guys are sooooo cute and funny. Very truthful advice, you have to acknowledge all the people in the room, it's like that in the USA too, don't ignore any of the people, give them all equal attention. And no, bragging isn't good here either, neither is lying on a resume, they always find out. It sounds like job interviews are the same here as in Norway. Except for the work life balance, that doesn't exist in the USA!
Lol. This was great! Marry me for god sake lol 😂
This is funny and yet SO true at the same time. My son recently landed an incredible job with a major global tech company (think one of the FANG biggies) and he did (1) dress neatly, but casually, (2) refuse to brag (3) make them laugh. So you were absolutely on the money! (And the money -- even though he didn't ask about it in interview #1 -- was amazing.) Thanks for another great video!
Wow, what a great story!! Thanks a lot for sharing it with us kes S :):)
I really like the way the videos are made !!! for a long time i think of coming to norway now .... uaaalllll !!! end of the month I'm there !! continue with this disposition and this team that displays these videos. my congratulations very cool. 👍🏼
Thanks a lot for your engagement and very nice comment! Cheers from Ronald and Mads :) :)
Thank God I nearly always worked for myself... I did have one job interview... the Boss, who was a tall man, just took one look at my four & a half foot height and decided (mentally) I would be useless... I was smart and offered to work for two weeks trial, for FREE & he agreed... In the end he was blown away with my skills and hired me full-time with a raise immediately... When I left after three years to travel to Europe for an undetermined time (when I went to Norway)... he paid me a huge bonus to be sure I would come back to work for him again. I came back nine years later and he immediately offered me a big amount of money to work for him again...
WOW, you must be a genius!! After 9 years!!??? Love your story. Thanks a lot for sharing with us 👌😀
Thanks you so much for this video! Can you do another video about the second interview?
Think we will 😊
Awesome video :) Here in NZ is pretty much the same. If you apply for a technical role, people would expect you to come in t-shirt and jean. If you come in a suit, then people would tend to think that your technical skill is not that good and you are trying to hide your weakness behind your suit. Chemistry is definitely very important and to get that probably the candidate would need to understand the local culture. A little bit of humor and smile/laugh won't hurt as well here. Not sure if humor can be accepted in Scandinavian countries, since the people tend to look very serious :)
Very cool to learn about worklife in NZ and how similar it is to our way and norms. Hehe, the clue is to bring forward smiles, a loose and chatty atmosphere, not trying to do a stand uo act. Too much laughter would of course not be accepted ;) Thanks for sharing your story with us aik1. Cheers from Ronald and Mads
I am literally CRYING with laughter! And it hurts b/c I have a chest infection and sound like Bumley (from the cartoon characters Råttesen og Bumley - Dastardly and Muttley in English) when I laugh. How you managed to make this video really useful AND just SO SO funny is incredible. I mean when "Rob" offered to do squats I almost needed oxygen I was laughing so hard. You guys are the best thing about you tube and this was the Best. EVER. YWTN. video. #LOVE
We wish you good and rapid healing 🤞🤞 Thanks for being awesome 😻😻
Very lovely your explanation!! thank you very much :)
Glad it was helpful!
How timely! I have a job interview in the morning. I just moved here, but I'm not sure how Norwegian sensibilities will play here in the American south, but if I get stuck, I will definitely try to work in a little humor. Thanks, guys!
Good luck!!!
We dress up in the U.S. for job interviews. How much depends on where you are applying. We send a resume so they know what you are qualified for. If they weren't interested they wouldn't have called for an interview. I agree you shouldn't brag. I personally find bragging distasteful. Your resume tells them about your qualifications. You should be interested in learning about the company. Great advice. Love y'all too.
Thanks for sharing and engaging with us Patricia Nielsen - we love you right back 🍻😀
Ronald that was very interesting UFFDA !
Fantastic video! How is smoking viewed among employers and Co-workers in Norway? I’m just really curious. A lot of our employers here no longer even have areas to smoke outside any longer. Thank you and keep up the awesome videos! :)
The same is happening here. Especially in public work places. But people who smoke would stillnot be discriminated. But I think they dont mention it in the first interview..
My experience in the US has been a 30 minute "screening" phone call by the recruiter or HR to see if you have the skills and their salary request is in alignment with their budget. If you pass the screener, you get an hour with the potential manager over Skype. If you pass that, you get 2-4 hours in person with 3-4 people and you have to present examples of your work like they were potential clients. Then you wait for the call. Your only follow up is a thank you email to each person. If you get an offer, you can negotiate salary.
You do dress casual. Nice slacks and blouse or button down shirt. Tell them how you feel you can fit with the team and organization. Research the people who are interviewing them and talk about what you have in common. Tell them how you can hit the ground running because you have experience doing the job responsibilities. No one has ever asked about my hobbies until after I get the job.
You only talk about money with the recruiter/HR. NEVER with the manager or other people who interview you. If HR is in the interview, you only talk about money when it's just the two of you.
Interesting story! Thanks for sharing :)
Why is the project manager wondering what's for lunch? She didn't make her matpakke before work? (Maybe she made it before she had her coffee, so she didn't remember which tube she squeezed).
Hahaha - doing pushups on the table. :D And, yes, I heard the background sound effects as he was waiting in the cafe for his job offer. Brilliant video. I loved the dialog, the 'lessons', the humor and the props. Thank you for this - it was completely delightful.
I love all your videos! im a londoner- and I'm in Norway right now.
COOL! Where in Norway are you?
Brilliant! 😂 Can hardly wait for part two!
We have a group, also 2-3 people, you dress business casual and they ask you about 10 questions on how you have previously handled typical work problems. Each person takes a turn asking a question. They rate your answers. You know you have it if they chat you up after the interview. You always research the company and ask questions even if you already know the answers to show interest.
Cool to learn. Thanks for sharing :):)
These days in the U.S. you don’t need to wear a suit mostly but you should look “smart”. You also need to “brag”‘about yourself some - not too much but they want to see confidence - and KNOW about the company before the interview. PLEASE create more videos!!! In the U.S. right now our country is a MESS and we need things that make us laugh 🤪
You, guys, are awesome!! Your tips were very, very helpful, I got the job so I am moving to Norwaaaayyyy 🥳
I'm curious what Ronald and Mads's professional background is, because they are naturally good at this youtube channel. Two really fun, engaging guys.
Thanks for your engagement N. D. I, Ronald, work with research and marketing strategy. Mads is director and producer within TV. Both of us are sometimes tired of clients telling us what to do and we needed to learn more about digital media, so we created this channel :)
I really like your movies! It's quite interesting to hear about norwegian work culture. It's look quite different in my country - Poland. Here they look for your experience and formality and culture.
