Hi! I am from Portugal too and I would love to work in another country but the problem for me is my English is lacking. How good was your English when you lwft?
My first interview in English was over the phone and it was really stressful. It was enough to go to the second round (I didn't get the job though).
The upcoming interviews will get better. If you read HN and comment in English, that's enough to give it a try.
Why don't you try updating your monster account first, or uploading your cv elsewhere? You will eventually get called by agents and convincing them that you up for the job would be a very good test to your language skills.
I'm also an foreign IT professional coming from Portugal, so good luck my friend. If we made it then you can do it as well.
