Hello, my name is James and I need your help.
I've been living in Niteroi for the last 3 1/2 years with my Brazilian wife, working for an local Oil & Gas services company in a commercial role. I have a permanent visa and want to remain in Brazil but I am looking for a new work direction and a fresh start.
I have some basic Portuguese and am learning more all the time. I get by day to day and can follow most stuff on the TV, but I still find it difficult to speak with confidence.
My background is in Electronic Media (Web, Digital image manipulation, digital audio & video, interactivity)& Acoustic Engineering but I have been out of the loop for some time. I would love to get back into this area and able to pick up new skills and programs with ease.
I am looking for some pointers of where to start looking for work, preferably in a multinational. I know a lot of the Oil & Gas companies in Macae and would love to live in Rio das Ostras, but the role I see advertised are for Offshore or Engineering roles.
Any advice?
