    7 Tips to find an internship or a job in Brazil!

    How would you like to live and work in Brazil? Here are 7 tips that will help you search for a job, either from your home country or directly in Brazil. 

     

     

    1) Look for pertinent information about Brazil (websites, blogs and forums): 

     

    Speak Portuguese Brazil is here to answer your questions! We have plenty of articles on our website to help you come to Brazil.

    Do not hesitate to comment and give your opinion on our articles, we will be more than happy to receive your feedback.

     

     

    2) Learn Portuguese as soon as possible:

     

    Portuguese is a Latin language so if you speak Spanish, French or Italian it should be quite easy for you to learn it.

    However taking courses is mandatory to be able to express yourself in a work environment. As only a few Brazilians are able to speak another language, thus the more you can speak the better it is.

     

    Don’t worry; it is easily achievable to speak Portuguese at an intermediate level in a few week’s time. Start with the basics online and try to get used to the accent at home before coming to Brazil.

     

    Once you’re in Brazil, we offer an immersion program that will give you the keys to master Portuguese in just 6 weeks! Know more about our Portuguese courses and professional coachings on our website.

     

     

    3) Ask for advice and speak to anybody who could help you:

     

    Did you know that 80% of job offers are never open to the public? Most of the jobs in Brazil are found through network thus if you know anyone from your family, a friend of your family, a friend of a friend, contact them and ask for tips, see if they can help you with your project and ask to meet them when you will be in Brazil. You have nothing to loose.

     

     

    4) Use social networks:

     

    In Brazil social media are very popular for networking, and networking is the basis in any job research in Brazil, thus you can guess LinkedIn is the king of social media to find a job.

    If you are looking for an opportunity, you must have a LinkedIn profile, well organised with as much information as possible regarding your professional and academic life. Follow and join groups linked to your professional area, like and comment posts to gain visibility.

     

     

    Use Linkedin to widen your professional networking before arriving:

    • Search for contacts in your professional area

    • Analyse your contacts’ contacts and ask to be introduced

    • Join all active alumni groups linked to your home country and University/Schools.

    Know more about our Linkedin workshop.

     

     

    5) Share your CV:

     

    We advice you to:

    • Share publicly you CV on social networks and job agencies

    • Target institutions and associations from your professional area and contact them. You can do the same with the chamber of commerce.

     

    6) Take one of our coachings to find a job:

     

    We offer several Portuguese courses and professional coachings to help you find a job in Brazil.

     

    Our Coachings can:

    • Provide you with personnal and professional orientation

    • Help you widen your network (networking events and Linkedin workshops)

    • Show you how to make a Brazilian style resume and cover letter

    • Prepare for job interviews


    7) Be in Brazil:

     

     

    Like we said, networking is the best way to find a job as 80% of offers are hidden, you need to speak Portuguese to find a good job. We therefore strongly recommend you to be in Brazil to learn Portuguese, understand how to local job market works, meet people and finally find a job!

     

     

    Don´t hesitate to contact us at contact@mylittlebrasil.com.br for more information about moving and finding a job in Brazil.

     

     

     

    We wish you good luck in your job research!
