One of the best ways to find jobs in Brazil is through referrals
and personal leads. People generally prefer to hire someone they
have worked with before, or who is known by someone else they trust,
rather than take a risk on an individual for whom they have no
experiential reference. Apart from the element of trust, the wish to
help out friends or acquaintances is another important factor,
especially given the intense competition for each job vacancy that
arises. It is therefore important that professionals entering the
Brazilian market understand that building personal networks is an
essential feature of business life and will prove just as important
as having a good résumé/CV.

Job advertisements that are published in newspapers are also
available online, at no cost for companies and jobseekers, on the
website of the National Jobs Bank (Banco Nacional de Empregos). Job
vacancies can be searched by job title, expected salary, age,
keyword and location. A free Job Alert service sends emails about
new job postings to the jobseeker. Résumés/CVs can also be posted at
no charge.
