To date, Nesse has been one of almost 300,000 students in Norway. Now he has defended his master’s thesis and is entering working life.

Hopefully.

– I don’t expect to get a job first, anyway, and I think it can be even more difficult now, says Nesse.

He says several of his former fellow students have been waiting up to a year after graduation before coming to work.

Now in the crown crisis, Nesse has experienced a slight decrease in the number of posts being advertised. And the competition is great.

– There are many on the bone.

Among recently graduated colleagues, many are unsure of the path ahead.

– They prefer to look at other types of temporary jobs. Some are considering starting over for new studies to gain a little more weight, he says.

Feel the worry

In 2019, 47,336 students graduated from colleges and universities in Norway.

Many of those who completed the studies this year find the situation difficult.

– We note that students are concerned about the future, says Øystein Hatlestad Hovland. He is the leader of the springboard, which is the Bergen race committee.

MAKE NEW EDUCATORS THINK CREATIVELY: – Now is the time to think a little differently and perhaps go on a little adventure instead of just sitting at home and worrying, Øystein Hatlestad Hovland says.

Hovland’s call is that graduates should think creatively.

“Now is the time to think a little differently and maybe go on a little adventure, instead of just sitting at home and worrying,” he says.

He believes that the opportunities in the current job market are twofold. For those who have studied for critical jobs, most things are normal.

On the other hand, industries are seeing a decline. As in the offshore industry, in travel and other industries that are severely affected by the crown crisis.

“It is those who have thought about these kinds of occupations who face a difficult time,” he says.

I hope there is room for graduates.

In Sam’s career in the student community in Westland, in 2019 they had around 1,500 students in career guidance.

The leader, Rønnaug Tveit, tells NRK that they have not yet noticed an increased need for student advice.

Think it’s getting difficult for students: Rønnaug Tveit in Sam’s career, advising students.

– I think it happened so fast here, it takes time to change and start thinking about the future after completing education, says Tveit.

In order to provide a good offer for students, many courses are digital. In line with the tutoring hours.

– Many of those who now go out and apply for a job will probably find they have to take their first video interview, so exercising will be quite sensible.

In Norway, there are more than 400,000 registered job seekers.

Two hope there will be room for graduates in the job market.

– But I think it will be more difficult than it has been before, at least for a long time.

For graduates, she has the following advice:

– Be on the lookout for substitutes. Taking jobs that initially don’t seem so relevant to education. Go on, not thinking you should have the dream job right away.

Fredrik Nesse has just defended his online master’s thesis. Tomorrow he has another important meeting. But then he turns face to face.

– I got a job interview the first day after graduation. But I have foreseen that I have to go for a good period, he says.
