Posted: 27.10.2007 23:34 Post subject: What city in Scandinavia... |
|
|
... has the largest number of bars and hotels?
I am once again going to try to get a job but rather than focussing on only Norway I thought it may be wise to ask for cities like Copenhagen or Stockholm as well. Once I know one nordic language it's only a small step to find employment in Norway more easily anyway.
What Scandinavian city is the best one to go jobhunting in the hotels and bars? Stockholm, Oslo, or Copenhagen? I have a spare weekend soon and want to spend it walking around with my CV begging for a job, just not sure what city's the best one to try. _________________ Rosenborg, forever pride of the North!

I've read somewhere that Tromsø has the largest percentage of bars compared to the population. _________________ Du och vi, Alfred - du och vi |

There shouldn't be a problem getting a bartenderjob in Copenhagen. Plenty of bars there. When I lived there, I met more than one that had just moved to the town and taken a bartenderjob to get started. It's also a fantastic town to live in.  |

It's the home of Carlsberg so you'd expect plenty of bars. The mermaid is a big dissapointment though, i thought it would be bigger.
I also went to Rosenborg castle interestingly enough. |

The mermaid is not bigger than my dog and my dog is a chihuahua so that says it all
Is there a lot of bars needing people in this time of the year, or is this a bad time of the year to go applying? I know in the spring they all seek new staff for the summer season, but are there enough bars needing people right now as well? _________________ Rosenborg, forever pride of the North!

That may well be true, but as the population of Tromsø is slightly smaller than those of Stockolm and Copenhagen it is a point which amounts to precious little.
Oslo-Copenhagen-Stockholm-Gothenburg aren't that far apart. How about coming over during early spring and see what yo find ? Try to study some lingo meanwhile  |

I think bars need people all the time. Hotels too but if you don't speak Norwegian I think you can just forget about getting a job there. |
