Question
Hi Sandra

I'm from the UK and considering applying for a teaching position at an international school in Rio.  Do you have any idea of salaries for qualified teaching jobs? All I can find is information on English teaching.
Also if I have a job before I enter the country can my Cuban husband join me and if so would he be able to work in brazil?

Thanks

Answer
Generally, the international schools have hiring fairs or a contact person who screens prospective hirees. You should address your salary questions to someone in that role. The school would apply for a working visa for a person they want to hire. The spouse of a foreigner with a working visa is not allowed to work legally in Brazil.

Expertise

Drawing on my personal travel experience in Brazil (more than a decade's worth), as well as time spent living in Brazil (especially Salvador, Bahia) and knowledge of the Brazilian community in the U.S., I can help with most questions concerning travel, specific destinations, paperwork for moving, marriage or business, and more. I enjoy helping people get the most from their stay in Brazil. I'd be happy to hear from you.

Experience

I have spent considerable time in Brazil, living and travelling, over more than a decade. I have travelled widely throughout much of Brazil, sometimes solo and sometimes with Brazilian friends and relatives, and am familiar with many destinations. I have done translation and interpretation, and also have taught ESL.

Publications
I write for a number of travel forums, blogs and publications concerning Brazil.
