"Brazilian" Curriculum Vitae

Post new topic

Hi!

I would like to know how to make a C.V. that would look normal to a Brazilian employer? In Canada, the shorter the better, but I have been told it is quite the opposite in Brazil and they like to see every detail of trainings, etc. Is it so?

Thanks!

Emilie

Hi Emilie,

No, actually the shorter the better here too provided that you cover the education and work experience completely.

If you message me with your e-mail address I will send you a copy of my CV so you can see what you will need. You will also need a cover letter in impecable Portuguese to go along with it.

Message me with your e-mail address and I will send you a copy of my CV so you can see exactly what you will need.

Hello,
Dear William James Woodward!
      Bom Dia!

     I hope you are enjoying good health this day.

     I have protocol number from Policia Federal and CPF number from Receita Federal. But Yet I don't have RNE Card ( I think that is the ultimate product of protocol, Is it?), and I will apply for Carteira de Trabalho with in next two days.

All information on RNE Card will be same as protocol pages?

I want to make my CV, What information, I should mention in My CV from my Brazilian documents, like VIPER, CPF, Protocolo (RNE), and upcoming Carteira de Trabalho?

Cover letter is Brazil is necessary ?

If I want to apply for Oil, Mining or construction company. (Sometimes companies are international). I think, I should make my CV , both in English as well as in Portuguese. Whether I should translate English to Portuguese in same CV or make both CV's separate?

What about Cover letter? Same Cover letter for both languages or separate?

Would you like to give me your CV and cover letter as model? I would send my email in your inbox upon your positive repose.

      Thank you very much for your extraordinary assistance,

Best Regards,
El Hasan

Traditionally Brazilians include far too much information on their CVs. Certainly much more than laws in most other countries permit employers to know until you are actually hired.

For personal information it is common for them to include their RG (for us RNE), CPF, address, telephone, nationality and marital status, age, e-mail address, and a photo. If you're comfortable with all of that then fine, if not consult a professional in the area of CVs. Don't forget that some of that information can be used to steal your identity.

Cheers,
James

Hello,
Dear James!
BOM DIA
I hope you are well.
Once again, I am here to ask you about rights of the people having VIPER?
I want to know, whether these people are entitled to get scholarships in Brazilian universities for master research like Brazilian citizens?

Brazil announces some scholarships for foreigners including a preparation course of Portuguese language. But as a permanent  resident I can't apply. SO how can I get same scholarship opportunities as a permanent resident ?

Thanks alot
