Going up again

I havent been writing lately since I have been a bit down and working and out all day long.
I have been looking for a job here since I arrived or we can say before, because I was sending CV's and all before landing hehe.

Well, at least 20 interviews, 50 cv and more than a dozen of exams sessions and Im still waiting for one good job offer.

Unfortunately Mexico is not open to anything that is related to China, people often asked me before leaving and now too, why did you go? why there? Why so far?.

Why dont they ask why not?What can we learn from china, what can we teach them, how can we good partners and make good business? They have lots to improve and we can lead them the way and we have things to be corrected too.

If people could only see further than their noses... Mexico will be better and compete and win and...

I would have a job by now! hehe.

Looking for a job (the whole adventure!!!!)

The situation in Mexico is more interesting and complicated than I thought!

Just arriving I had already sent about 15 CV and registered in the most famous job seeking websites, well my dears... The search has been not easy at all!

In the first week I only got one phone call and later turned out to be a sales job, where they offer a short training-evaluation and then, they give you a database so you can look for your clients by yourself! And the clients should be more than 30,000 dlls each at minimum! And you sign every responsability paper, no welfare...

Sorry! was i complaining for the chinese situation just a couple of days ago? I cant believe this and of course the salaries are quite low, these days!

You may think I'm complaining because of my problem only... No, no! Indeed, I had learnt a lot from this chance. Before I used to change from one job to another, maybe later I could be lucky and find a great job or something, but I have to say that at least, now I have a parttime job that allows me to practice my Chinese language and also I'm enjoying it a lot! I have a family that even when my dad and I are just so so, well I'm staying with them and feeling their support.
And a wonderful partner who always understands me and I have his comfort, love and everything I could ever need...

Why should I cry?

Well, my fight for the rights, not only mine, but I think this situation is not ok, and let´s talk later about the long journeys, where they are offering me midday, that literally is from 8 to 8pm (and this is just normal time!!!)...

How can a Mexican normal person survive from a mean pay and having wife, children and not a house??? With the same salary or worse than a Chinese but prices higher than sometimes even US or closer?

Ufff! Don't ask me....

This is not acceptable!!!!!!

What is your situation? Pls expose it =)
