New members of the Angola forum, introduce yourselves here - 2019

greetings,
My name is Mulenga Kabombo , a graduate in Civil Engineering . i need help finding viable opportunities in Angola as an intern or permanent . i am ready to start work as soon as possible

Greetings all!  I'll be moving to Luanda around December.  I've heard a lot of negative and very little positive.  I hope this is just "fake news" from people who haven't been there.

Hello everyone, I am Panos, a 44yo Greek language teacher from Greece. I have taught the language all over the country but also around Europe. For the past 3 years I closely work supporting refugees in the country, providing information on language classes, job hunting, healthcare and anything to do with tax and administration. More particularly, for the past year I have been working as Educational Coordinator in the largest refugee camp in the capital Athens. I also have been a regional coordinator for a Swedish grassroots organisation supporting refugee families.
I have been an advocate for refugee rights in Greece and Europe.
I speak Greek, English, German, Swedish and I am currently learning Arabic.
Eager for new experiences, I am considering relocating to Angola and ideally work in the humanitarian field. I have just started out my research, so any info and pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Watch out for companies asking for cash.  Scammers commonly steal a real company name to use for Visa scams

I haven't found any company website with that name

That's what made me suspicious in the first place but I only had my phone with me so searching wasn't that easy.
The big scam is asking for visa or medical certificate money, often both - If you get that sort of request, you can guarantee it's a scam.

Ya I understand I will be careful Thankyou for info

Hi,
I am Louis Verde. I lived for a while in Dubai but now I want to relocate to Luanda.

Hello, I am Uapereiteka Muharukua, knows as Methodology, I am from Namibia and I am teaching English as second or foreign language, I am looking for English job in Angola in any place in Angola.

Hi,
Greeting,
before answering this I would clear that I don't know your background , nature of duties , and other competitive/optional  opportunities in hand . 
Local currency devaluation impacted negatively in gray market . 1 USD is equal to 700 Kwanza now a days . This much salary & facility only will allow you to breath , eat , work  and live life like a slave .
2 years work and being back to home will drastically change your opinions towards life .
12 hours a day working will not allow you to do anything other than work .
Its worth to ask , will company provide you weekly tour for refreshment / family accommodation after working few years with them .
Its up to you by considering your personal situation to deny if you have some better opportunities in hand or accept it to live what you get .

Hi Greeting ,
what purpose you are moving , I mean to work or as a dependent . Welcome in advance .

Hey!

Im travelling to Luanda every few months for work. Looking for friends and sailing opportunities while I visit for business.
