Could anyone help out with CV -> Jobs Applied for // non-skilled worker

frii

Ok. In short. I'm working as croupier for almost 8 years. I'm fed up with working nights and gambling in any form.
I'm moving to Norway and I made a decent CV not only with my work experience, but skills gained as well. CV is all about my personal skills and other skills gained in different casinos. As non of my future employers wouldn't care about my game dealing skills and casino game knowledge.

In CV I want to add paragraph Job applied for
In general I could write 1 word - ANYTHING, just give me job, i will do anything and i will do it right. Well.. that would sound very desperate but i would like to sound like serious candidate just without any skills. Somebody who only needs a chance to prove himself to become a part of team or valuable employee.

Would be there any helpful person who could help me out with few sentences that says that i would be willing to do anything you have to offer and i will do it as good as i'm able to. But I still would like to have a chance of growth opportunities.

The main problem of it all is that i don't have any qualification nor proper specialized skills.

Literally I'm willing to do anything. I'm hard working man without any bad habits.

I would like to use this as an important part of my cover letters if such is necessary.
As I don't speak Norwegian, yet! This will play a big role in my job seeking adventures so I can't leave it for a chance. I need to get the most out of it.
Thanks for any advice and help in advance.

In your shoes I'd go to Australia or New Zealand.

Norway, and all of Scandinavia are extremely expensive regards cost of living, and by your own admission you'll be looking for entry level/low paid jobs. Add that to the fact that you don't speak the local dialect means you're going to 've in for a struggle.

I'm well aware of that. In this situation I don't care as I have my reasons. That's why trying increase my chances as much as possible. And language is not a problem, already learning the basics.

I would encourage you to use a different tactic.

I believe you will have more success if you gain a skill and target a particular job type.

For example, you could do an accounts receivable course and get a job in credit control. Companies always need credit control people.

Or you could do a sales course and get your foot in the door doing a ****ty (but temporary) cold calling job.

The key to this is getting a skill. It's a little bit of effort for a lot of return.

Cheers Mr. Loverman I will keep this in mind. But at begging as I don't have any language or skills I will just need any type of job just to get things going. Savings which are not huge will go fast in Norway. I'll just need to get anything to cover the bills and I'll be grand. I like your idea about courses but I still need language first.

It seems like you are rushing things.

What's the hurry?

To me it makes more sense to get your qualification in Ireland before leaving. Otherwise you may end up stuck in a low paying, dead end job.

Think about it: in Norway you will be an unskilled foreigner who doesn't speak the language. That means working as a cleaner or some other job you will get sick of very quickly.

You seem to write well, so how about Teaching English or working with kids in an English daycare. In other parts of Scandinavia professionals will pay to meet up with native speakers just to have a good chat.
