How did you obtain your work permit? What advice would you have for others about work permits?
The company has arranged my work permit and would do so for anyone taking on a role as a consultant.
Have you taken language and cross-cultural training courses to prepare for your assignment? If so, how have they helped you on the job?
I already spoke around 80% Spanish so that helped me, although it is easy to find language classes and schools here at a very low cost. I have had full training and support from my company which is the normal approach for anyone.
If you were transferred abroad by your employer, were you guaranteed a job upon repatriation? What type of mentoring programs does your employer offer?
My employer is able to guarantee employment to newcomers in Mexico however roles are commission based and so you will need to be highly self motivated.
