Crie um CV Profissional

Passo 1:

Contacto Esta é a fase mais simples, onde você indica os seus dados pessoais. A dica mais importante é nunca se esquecer de actualizar as suas informações de contacto, nomeadamente e-mail e telefone. Coloque a data de nascimento e, em países como Angola, a nacionalidade. Em relação à foto, é muito importante evitar aquelas cortadas de outras fotos ou fotos de festa. Pense que a foto é a imagem que terá de si o empregador. Portanto, coloque uma foto elegante, profissional e agradável. É melhor não colocar foto que colocar uma má foto.

Passo 2:

Informação Básica Descrever de maneira abreviada quais são as suas principais qualidades e por que o empregador deveria estar interessado em lhe contratar. Neste ponto é importante ser muito sucinto para não aparecer como uma pessoa arrogante aos olhos do empregador. Os passos 3 e 4 são intercambiáveis em função da importância que para você têm cada um deles. Que estiver mais orgulhoso da experiência de trabalho, deve colocar esta secção em primeiro lugar. Quem não tiver muita experiência profissional, deve colocar a formação acadêmica acima.

Passo 3:

Experiência de Trabalho Indique a empresa, o sector da empresa, a sua função e as datas nas que trabalhou na empresa. Posteriormente, descreva a suas responsabilidades, em infinitivo. Ao escrever as suas responsabilidades devem sempre manter a coerência com a função. Por exemplo, se você é um Gerente de Filial minhas tarefas devem ser combinados e não poderia colocar arquivo de documentos. Da mesma maneira, se você é estagiário de uma empresa, é improvável que seja responsável da orientação estratégica da empresa.

Passo 4:

Formação Acadêmica É aconselhável usar uma ordem cronológica inversa, começando com o seu último título adquirido, indicando sempre a data de inicio e fim. Por exemplo, coloque primeiro um título de post-grado, depois o título universitário e depois a escola. Evite incluir infinidade de títulos. Se ainda está a realizar um curso, pode indica-lo como formação em curso. E finalmente, se você tem algum mérito acadêmico ou uma média alta, não duvide em colocá-lo, porque isso vai destaca-lo dos outros candidatos. Se tiver realizado cursos de curta duração relevantes para o emprego em questão, é preferível indica-los em uma secção separada: Formação Complementar

Passo 5:

Informática e Idiomas Neste ponto, é importante ser completamente honesto por uma razão simples, é muito fácil de verificar a veracidade do que está escrito, através de testes ou uma simples conversa telefônica.

Passo 6:

Aptidões complementares Utilize este espaço para indicar aspectos de interesse sobre si, como por exemplo ter empreendido um pequeno negócio, ou ter feito parte de uma equipa desportiva, etc.

Top 5 Keys to start a business in Angola

Angola has become one of the most interesting countries to do business in sub-Saharan Africa. Only 12 years ago, on February 22, 2002 , the assassination of Jonas Savimbi (Leader of UNITA, main opposition party) put an end to 27 years of civil war in Angola , ensuring the long-awaited peace and leaving a country in need (and desire) of everything. Key infrastructure had been destroyed, and so was the industrial sector, except for the oil sector. Since then, it began a process of rebuilding the country and unparalleled economic growth, mainly driven by the vast natural wealth of the country (mainly oil, but also diamonds, minerals, timber and other natural resources)..

High costs in money and time

Barriers to free trade and speculation have led Luanda to be named the most expensive city in the world to live. Foreign entrepreneurs who decide to visit the country should be aware that hotel rooms cost around $400 USD per night, renting a car with a driver (must) will be $140 USD a day, and a business dinner will not cost less than $70 USD per person. Costs will not only be monetary, but also in time. As you leave the airport towards the hotel, you will find the infamous “engarrafamento ” (traffic jam) all over the city , which slows down dramatically all daily commuting.

Attention to safety

As in any country where there is social inequality, security is a matter of utmost importance. We must try not to look like a typical newcomer, avoid sensitive areas, exercise caution at night, always try to be accompanied, have a trusted driver to take you from door to door, do not seem ostentatious, etc. Also, make sure to comply at all times with the rules, and carry a certified photocopy of your passport as well as your visa, to avoid problems with the police.

Difficulties in obtaining high-level interviews

Keep in mind that local businessmen are mostly informal, and it is not easy to set up meetings with people who have the ability to make the final decision. This point is even more complicated if the client is the government or when going after public tenders. Bureaucracy is extremely complicated (but getting better every day) and often lengthen the negotiation, contracting, implementation and payment processes.

Logistics and customs barriers

You will always work with FOB and CIF prices, and unless you know a good shipper (who will charge around 2% of the CIF value of the goods), never run the risk of customs formalities and delivery at customer’s warehouse. Customs in Angola are a completely opaque world, full of obstacles, and endless documentation requirements to provide that if it contains a minor error further delays the process a fair deal. Once past customs clearance, and especially if the customer’s warehouse is located outside Luanda, the whole series of difficulties for safe deliveries arises: bad roads, traffic, damage to goods in transport, theft, etc.

Getting paid

Getting paid for your work is also subject to surprises, and we must always demand the best guarantees and use secure payment instruments. It is common practice in the implementation of projects (not product sales) to receive a down payment to start its implementation, and it is essential to use irrevocable and confirmed letters of credit to ensure the reception of promised amounts. Large importers and distributors, although depending on the sector, often work with payment at the reception of shipping documents or with 30 – 60 days credit.

You should also pay attention and even "imitate" other business that have succeeded in this country, here you can find two of the best examples in Angola:

Top 5 Angolan Movies

5. Sambizanga

Sambizanga is a 1972 film by director Sarah Maldoror. Set in 1961 at the onset of the Angolan War of Independence, it follows the struggles of Angolan militants involved with the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), an anti-colonial political movement of which Maldoror's husband, Mário Coelho Pinto de Andrade, was a leader. The film is based on the novella A vida verdadeira de Domingos Xavier ("The Real Life of Domingos Xavier") by Angolan writer José Luandino Vieira.

4. Les Oubliées

Les Oubliées (The forgotten women) is a 1996 documentary film directed by Anne-Laure Folly of Togo and shot in Angola. The film is a documentary about Angola. It tells of the heavy cost of war to women. After ten years of struggle for independence, the war in Angola had continued for another twenty years. The film explores the motives of the combatants, which were linked to the cold war, Cuban intervention and the racist South African regime.In this film, Folly lets women tell their own stories. She shows the women from mid- or close-range, forcing the viewer to focus on their faces rather than their bodies or surroundings, and takes the time to let them say what they have to say, giving a unique women's perspective of the conflict. Folly participates in the film through her voice-over, giving a subjective element. She admits that she is not familiar with Angola, and certainly is not an authority. The film thus becomes a record of Folly's own journey of discovery.

3. The Hero

The Hero (Portuguese: O Herói) is a film about the life of average Angolans after the Angolan Civil War. The film follows the lives of four individuals; Vitório, a war veteran crippled by a landmine who returns to Luanda, Manu, a young boy searching for his soldier father, Joana, a teacher who mentors the boy, and Judite (later known as Maria Barbara), a prostitute who begins a romantic relationship with Vitório. Directed by Zézé Gamboa, The Hero won the 2005 Sundance World Dramatic Cinema Jury Grand Prize. It is a joint Angolan, Portuguese, French production, but was filmed entirely in Angola.

2. Hollow City

Hollow City (Na Cidade Vazia) (2004) is the first full-length movie directed by Angolan-born director Maria João Ganga. The film is one of the first to be produced in Angola since the end of the civil war, and the first film produced by an Angolan woman. Filming was done on location in the capital city of Luanda, Angola. International versions of the film are in the Portuguese language withEnglish subtitles.

1. The Great Kilapy

 The Great Kilapy (Portuguese: O Grande Kilapy) is a 2012 comedy-drama film directed by Zézé Gamboa. The film was aninternational co-production between companies in Angola, Brazil and Portugal. Joao Fraga is a young Angolan, descendant of a rich family from the colonial period. This mestizo boy just wants to live his life, having fun with friends and spending his money. Although he is the Senior Executive of National Bank of Angola, he diverts the institution's own funds, distributing money to colleagues and activists for the liberation of Angola. Joao goes to jail, but when he got out of prison, is upheld by society as a local hero.

10 most famous dishes of Angola

 Angolan cuisine is the cuisine of Angola, a country in south-central Africa. Because Angola was a Portuguese colony for centuries, Portuguese cuisine has significantly influenced Angolan cuisine, with many foods imported into Angola by the Portuguese. Here you have the 10 most famous dishes of this country:

• Cabidela (Portuguese pronunciation: [kɐbiˈðɛɫɐ]), a dish cooked in blood, served with rice and funge. Frequently chicken (galinha de cabidela, galinha à cabidela), served with vinegar, tomatoes, onion and garlic. It was also incorporated to Brazilian cuisine.

• Caldeirada de cabrito ([kaɫde(j)ˈɾaðɐ dɨ kɐˈβɾitu]), goat meat stew served with rice, a traditional dish for Angolan independence day, November 11.

• Fish stews, including caldeirada de peixe ([dɨ ˈpe(j)ʃɨ̥]), made with "whatever is available" and served with rice, and muzongue ([muˈzõɡɨ̥]), made from whole dried and fresh fish cooked with palm oil, sweet potato, onion, tomato, spinach, and spices, and served with rice, spinach, funje, and farofa; some Angolans believe that the stew is a hangover cure if eaten before the onset of the headache.

• Calulu ([kɐɫuˈɫu]), dried fish with vegetables, often onions, tomatoes, okra, sweet potatoes, garlic, palm oil, and gimboa leaves (similar to spinach); often served with rice, funge, palm oil beans, and farofa.

• Caruru ([kɐɾuˈɾu]), a shrimp and okra stew, of Brazilian origin.

• Catatos ([kɐˈtatuɕ]), caterpillar fried with garlic, served with rice; a specialty in Uígeç

• Chikuanga ([ʃikuˈɐ̃ɡɐ]), a bread made from manioc flour, served in a wrap of banana leaves; a specialty of northeast Angola.

• Cocada amarela ([kuˈkaðɐ] or [kɔˈkaðɐ]), yellow coconut pudding made with sugar, grated coconut, egg yolks, and ground cinnamon, a dessert in both Mozambique and Angola. It is very different from what is known as cocada in Brazil.

• Doce de ginguba ([ˈdosɨ̥ dɨ ʒĩˈɡuβɐ]), peanut candy.

• Farofa ([fɐˈɾɔ̞fɐ]), rice and beans with toasted manioc flour on top; a dish of Brazilian origin common in Angola. What is referred to asfarofa in Brazil is quite different – a mix of toasted manioc, savory, sweet and/or sour-and-sweet ingredients, and spices such as garlic, onion, rosemary and/or chives and parsley.
