Job Interviews
Job interviews in European Portuguese are a great opportunity to expand your vocabulary. Even if you’re not planning on having one anytime soon, read through, pick up what you can, and focus on what’s most relevant to you. 😊
Getting Started: Setting the Scene
First impressions matter. In Portugal, it is common to greet with a polite ‘Bom dia’ (good morning) or ‘Boa tarde’ (good afternoon), followed by a handshake or a friendly nod.
You might also hear ‘Como está?’ (How are you?) as a warm greeting before diving into the interview.
