Hello Mr. Dos Santos,

I am also a master student, God willing graduating this year in May. I also have a degree in Sociology which is great at times, but sometimes makes me work extra or harder. I have some friends and colleagues that had the bright idea of going to work for private organizations. I have heard nothing but great things from most of my friends, once even got pump and almost motivated enough to follow my friends. After the smoke cleared, I realized something people always say; “The grass is always greener on the other side” which means that people are often tempted by jealousy or fear they are missing out on something that others have. In retrospect, you will never know the true potential of something until you find yourself in the other side, with everyone else may or may not be thriving. In many cases people and young students getting ready to graduate their career programs, can be easily persuaded into pathways that may not be their preferred journey. I do not want to judge your case, that is why I have chosen to mention similar scenarios that only you can fill in the blanks. Furthermore, if you are being recruited by a company recruiter or a staffing agency, I would like to recommend you to conduct a personal SWOT analysis. In SWOT; S: strengths, W: weakness, O: opportunities, and T: Threats. This is only for you, be honest with yourself, find all the great attributes that make you, “You,” also the hard part of the project is to judge all your professional deficiencies, recognize them develop a reconditioning program that will help you change your energy into “All positive energy.” Ok, now we can address your question, “Teacher salary in private institutions in Brazil” if you read and understand everything I said and used to paint you the big picture, if you see what I see then you should see who holds the value of your professional services. If you start asking for salaries, what if you asked someone in the deciding committee, they will think all you need is a job and money. Newly Grads may be raining on that company, use the SWOT analysis to be able to plan how to elevate yourself people need to hear all the attributes a potential candidate can bring to the already successful firm. Private firm have their own set of rules much different than any regular state or federal public service agencies. Do small research with the same question in mind use many websites get all minimum and maximum salaries, used the most popular and some government sites as well. Compute your number and get average low, med, and high, and focus on all three values and tell yourself everyone is competing, yet very few know they all will get compete for LOW. In the beginning do not build castles in the sky do not get that expensive car, or get married. That first year will make you or break you. After your evaluation, they will see your value and the potential you mention at the interview. Mr. Dos Santos, keep all septations low but if you get more because of your record then Praise the Lord my Friend. I could have answered your question in half of paragraph. I love a chance to share any wisdom God gives me. Pass it on my friend.

God Bless, Speak positive,
