Where to find Portuguese jobs

Portugal is a lovely place to live. Unless you've decided to live there during your retirement, you'll be in need of a job in the country so that you can afford to enjoy yourself out there. Read on for advice on where to find Portuguese jobs and what you need to consider before you move out there.

Moving to Portugal

Before you start looking for work in Portugal you need to consider a few things. The Portuguese language is the first thing. If you can see yourself speaking Portuguese in the future, you need to take this into consideration when looking for jobs. Before applying, make sure that the position you are applying for is an English speaking position.You also need to consider where you are going to live. You could live in a B & B when you first start your new job, but it may not be the best idea financially for you to find somewhere to live before you find a job. It'll be hard for you to keep up more mortgage or rental payments without an income.

Online

The first place to start looking is online. There are a number of websites designed to helped people from the UK find jobs abroad. Try looking on the following sites. Go Abroad - Jobs.goabroad.com Global Choices - Globalchoices.co.uk Reed - Reed.co.uk (Jobs outside UK) Expat Network - Expatnetwork.com All you have to do is put the site where you are looking for work and say what kind of work you are looking for, it's just the same as it would be if you were looking for jobs in the UK.

Agencies

If you don't fancy going online to find your jobs, contact an agency. Many of the high street recruitment agencies have jobs they are looking to fill abroad. Pop into your local shop and let them know all of your details, where you are hoping to work and what sort of work you are looking to do. They can do numerous searches on your behalf and let you know when there are positions you may want to consider.

Other options

Alternatively, you could look into the options your current job provides you with. Does your company have any other offices abroad? If they do, your manager may be interested in helping you to pursue your options within the company abroad. It may seem like a long shot, but this would be the easiest way for you to find yourself a job in Portugal.
