Question
Hello!
I am leaving for Brazil soon and will be staying in Goiania with family for six months. I'm taking some time off of school because I need a break, but I have no intention of coming to a complete halt. I really want something to occupy my time while I'm down there, and I believe getting a job is the best option. I have dual citizenship (USA/Brazil); I can speak Portuguese, but I'm not quite fluent (yet). What kind of jobs should I look for that would even consider me?
Teaching English would be your best bet and where you, as an American AND Brazilian, would be in most demand. Of course, if you have family and friends in Goaiana then maybe they can get you a job in a restaurant or in retail, elsewhere. English will be a no-brainer at this point.
