From the Workers' Center to the G20
Bilingual driver Carlos José, a resident of Ilha do Governador, would go to the Central do Trabalhador in Moneró to look for opportunities even when he was employed. And it was there that he ended up being referred for an interview at Air De Cuisine, also in Moneró. With his English on the tip of his tongue, thanks to the 16 years he spent living in the United States, he was soon hired to, among other things, welcome foreigners who use the services of the food company.
During the G20, a meeting that brought together the world's largest economic powers in Rio, Carlos José Gonçalves Marinho welcomed several foreigners who arrived in Rio at Tom Jobim or Santos Dumont International Airports. Born in São Cristóvão, the driver completed high school and soon began working.
– I have worked in several companies and in different professions. In an airline company, a feed store, a pharmacy… If you are looking for a job, I recommend going to a Workers’ Center near your home. But it is important to go back after registering. It is that story, if you are not seen, you are not remembered – said Carlos José.
