Question
Hi Paula, I live in Brazil as well and I'm trying to find my boyfriend a job in Rio where I live but I have some doubts you might know how to answer better than me:

--> Is it possible to find him a job in hotels, tourism or anything related if he doesn't speak any Portuguese yet(English is his first language and he's got a degree in hotel management and experience in South Africa and Dubai)?
--> If so, do you have any clue where I should look for a job or do you know any website or company that would help finding an expat a job?

Thank you in advance.

Answer
Camila,

I´d look for the major hotel chains and also for expats websites. The chains are OTHON, PESTANA, HILTON, CLARION, IBIS, ACCOR, etc. They might be interested in his experience. I don´t know legal expectation for hiring but it´s worth to try and contact them.

Expats websites are :
