European CHEF looking for a job!!

Hi Jan,

Given your qualifications and experience, if you're here in Brazil, finding a decent job with a hotel or restaurant shouldn't be too difficult. In your particular case "the proof (really) is in the pudding," as they say. Right now, in the run-up to the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio it's probably one of the best times ever to ingress into positions in the hospitality industry.

What you're really going to have to concern yourself with is first the Portuguese language, since it is almost impossible to get along in a working situation without being fluent in Portuguese. While English is helpful it is still far from being widely spoken here in Brazil. Your second most important consideration will be jumping through all the hoops in order to convert your visa to a Temporary Work Visa. Hopefully, if you land a job with a large hotel or restaurant chain maybe they will help you with this. Good luck.

Cheers,
