What Brazil recruiters expect

Brazilian CVs (Currículo / CV) follow Latin American convention with strong Brazilian-specific patterns. 1-2 pages reverse-chronological. SINE (Sistema Nacional de Emprego / sine.com.br) + Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego (gov.br/trabalho) run public employment intermediation. Brazilian Portuguese native; English required for multinationals, finance, tech (São Paulo + Rio + Belo Horizonte tech clusters); Spanish valuable for Mercosur-corridor roles. Photo + DOB + estado civil + nacionalidade conventional in traditional sectors but Lei 9.029/1995 (anti-discrimination in hiring) + Lei 7.716/1989 (racism) + Lei Maria da Penha + LGPD all constrain adverse use. CPF (tax ID) + RG (national ID) NEVER on a public CV. Date format DD/MM/YYYY. Phone +55. Strong outbound corridor to Portugal, US (especially FL / MA / NJ), Canada, UK, Japan (Japanese-Brazilian diaspora).
