Hi everyone! I am a recent graduate from a hotel school in Australia, and I am no looking for work in Portugal. I am hoping to get a job in Lisbon or the Algarve, preferrably withn hotels or acounts. I do not speak fluent portuguese and I am unsure what comanies there are that would accecpt that.

Does anyone know of good web sites I can visit, or perhaps companies that do recruit foreigners? I am open for most employments to start with, just in order to learn better portuguese.

All help is much apprecated.

Thanks!

The summer is definately the best time for temporary work. I had a hard time finding anything online. Once I showed up in Lisboa, I discovered that there are lots and lots of temp work agencies. The economy is down and competition is tough and even harder when you don't speak portuguese. I had better luck just going from bar to bar in the more turisty areas. Everyone told me to come back in three months (closer to summer).

One other thing I remember, a friend of mine told me that she meet people working in hotels in the Algarve who spoke more english than portuguese. Turist central.
