👩‍🎓 Where to find part-time jobs for students in Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim

🎯 Who is it for and what is the goal

First-year students, exchange students and part-time students. Below are quick search channels, entry-level roles and a mini set of documents to help you start working this week.

🏫 Campus opportunities

📌 Where to look

• University boards and faculty job pages.
• Student organisations/welfare funds: SiO (capital region), Sammen (‘city of seven hills’), Sit (‘technology capital’).
• Campus services: libraries, sports centres/pools, IT support, cafeterias.

💡 Entry roles

• Library: reception/check-out, evening slots.
• Sports centre: front desk, cloakroom, lifeguard (if access is available).
• Assistants: laboratories/lecture halls, technical support for lectures.
• Campus café: barista/cashier with flexible hours.

Life hack: keep an ‘availability grid’ (Mon–Sun, morning/afternoon/evening) — this will speed up your response time.

🌆 City: evenings/weekends

📌 Where to look

• FINN Jobb / Arbeidsplassen (NAV) — filters for ‘part-time/evenings/weekends’.
• Event venues: arenas, concert halls, museums — look for ‘sesong/tilkalling’.
• Retail chains/supermarkets/cafes — careers on brand websites.

💡 Entry-level roles

• Retail: cashier/floor assistant, weekend and evening shifts.
• Events/catering: steward, host, assembly/disassembly.
• Logistics: sorting/picking, evening shifts.
• Cafes/fast casual: barista, kitchen prep, opening/closing.

Life hack: set a ‘2–4 km radius’ from your campus/accommodation — less time on the road, more sleep before class.

💻 Online part-time jobs

✍️ What is available to students

• Tutoring (EN/math/coding) — online platforms or ads on university boards.
• Content/moderation — short slots of 2–3 hours in the evening.
• Support/QA — chats/tickets with quarterly schedules.

💬 How to apply

• Mini-portfolio: 3–5 examples (screenshots/links).
• Technical assignment simulator: in your response, offer a micro-test (e.g., ‘I will analyse 5 tickets/format 3 cards’).
