Hi there,
             I dont think there's not much chance of any work,

I think most expats who aren't fluent in Portuguese either teach English, or they work for a large multinational corporation, who deal mostly with English speaking populations.

I think in your field, as spanishpete has advised, there's no much chance of work. I don't understand how you can expect to be a social worker, and think that you won't need to speak Portuguese?

Thank You. Of course I will learn Portuguese at the earliest. Being a Social Worker knowing local language is important. But I am versatile and multi talented, so I don't have problem in working in any sector.

Kindly share MNCs in this region.

I'm afraid I'm not very well acquainted with the area, but I'm sure others will come along with some more information. Good luck in Brazil!!

private Buillding work, farm work, washer-uper or potman, all very low skilled and very low Money, and with whats going on in Vanezuela, even hard worker to find

I would suggest that you work in the kitchen as a cook`s aid or dishwasher for now until you hone up your Portuguese and find a better job. Besides, your food will be free and
always by the side.

And if you`re single be on the look-out to marry a Brazilian woman soon for your ˜visto
de permanencia˜ if that`s what you want.

Good luck.

Thank You for your suggestions.

I am married to Brazilian. So stay & Food is not a problem for me.

I am looking for opportunities, when I arrive after few months.

Then if that`s the case, you can indulge yourself and do it in style! Learning Portuguese is now even easier underneath the sheets! Social work is mostly a govt. work in Brazil so
hone up that Portuguese and opt for naturalization ASAP.

I wish you well and good luck.

Thank You. Yes exactly.
I want to do the same. I think for naturalization, I can apply if my stay in Brazil is more than 2 years.
There are many jobs in Government.
I like to work in Systematic Environment. Back in India, less systematic.
