There is a job-seeker permit, but it is mainly for people who have recently completed studies or research in Norway, not for those who studied abroad.
Norway has a residence permit for job seekers, but it is targeted: it is principally for people who have recently completed a degree or research in Norway and who apply before their existing student or researcher permit expires, and for certain skilled workers. You must meet the skilled-worker qualification level and show funds to support yourself while you search. The permit is time-limited, is not renewable, and time spent on it does not count towards permanent residence. Check the UDI job-seeker page for the conditions that apply to your situation.
