In order to help you on your journey of starting a new life by moving to Portugal, I've put together a list of some of the best places on the web to find work:
2. Iefp jobs
The portal of the Public Employment Service is now called Empregos Iefp . It was launched in 2006 and here you will find the same functions as those available in job centers. You can register and post your CV, as well as consult the job vacancies available in Portugal and abroad.
See the IEFP's help page for candidates.
(You can save the Iefponline CV on your computer and send it to employers or, if you respond to a job offer, the CV will automatically be sent to the employer).
You can also receive a newsletter with the main daily highlights. The NETempregos database contains job offers from the Institute for Employment and Vocational Training(IEFP).
3. Sapo Employment
Sapo Emprego has thousands of job offers in Portugal and other countries around the world, such as Germany, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Angola, Belgium and Ireland.

This job search site has offers for practically all professions.
4. Employment Express
It's a very comprehensive site. Expresso Emprego also has thousands of job offers. To do your search and find the job you're looking for, you must indicate the position, the location, in Portugal or abroad (46 possible countries), type of contract, functions and sectors, among other criteria.

6. LinkedIn
Connecting professionals from all over the world. This is LinkedIn's mission. On this platform you can establish contacts and share knowledge, ideas and projects. The fact that it is professional in nature makes it the perfect way to find the best jobs. To gain visibility on the world's largest professional network, all you need to do is create a professional profile - preferably with a photo - that stands out from other users and attracts the interest of recruiters. LinkedIn is the social network most used by companies to recruit. It is therefore the ideal "shop window" for "selling" your professional image.
7. Indeed.co.uk
