Greenland Travel Forum

As my search for a new challenge abroad continues, I am considering several countries and try to gain as much info as possible on the employment chances in each of them. I will see which one it will eventually become.

My big dream is to go living and working above the polar circle. Greenland or North Norway preferably (and the latter includes Svalbard).

Does anyone know a bit on the economic situation in Grønland? I would mainly like to know what type of jobs are available to foreigners, if there is any specific recruitment organisation/agency/website that helps foreign people in finding a job in the area. Very handy would be a sort of overview of job for which no knowledge of the local language is required...

I have so far worked in callcentres and administration. I speak 4 languages (Dutch, English, French and German - I would of course enrole in a Danish/Greenlandic language course immediately upon arrival) and am quite computer literate. I am also good in writing reports, people always say I have good writing skills.

I have already written to a few services in Greenland, but they usually don't reply or reply the standard "check this and this site and good luck", which is disencouraging in some way, but luckily I can be quite determined!

please let me know if you found any contact, I'd like to spend over there just one month next summer... and now is May...

PS masfina@tiscali.it I'll probably won't go back to look at every site I'm visiting :)
