CONSULATE GENERAL OF MEXICO

Working for a Government Office that serves one particular country while in another is a great opportunity to learn different ways of "doing business", to compare, take the best, apply best practices and thus improve what I could call "customer service" for Mexican nationals abroad, in all senses. From the very basic services, to the most complex interactions. I've had the opportunity to be in different areas, in such a way that I have been exposed to all situations, from acts of service in simple processes, to interaction with US Federal Government officials at Protocol acts, as well as businessmen and high-profiled customers, clients, and providers.

It was a great experience working there at the Consulate General of Mexico. The culture and people were polite and helpful when i first started working, and made my experience just that more exciting. I learned more about the job; as far as buffing and waxing the floor, office cleaning and grounds keeping. A typical day at work in the Consulate would go like; me arriving and setting up my cart and supplies, office cleaning, sweeping/mopping there 1st floor, vacuuming the 2nd floor, and taking out the trash at the end of it all. Then i would help the other employees there. We worked as a team and finished as a team, and everyone was very easy to work with. The boss was a fair man, not to strict but not to nice. He was somebody that would help me with any thing if he could. I'd say the best part of the job was doing it with the people i worked with.

Productive and fun workplace. Have a small lunch area and employees can have lunch and talk about their day.

Many different types of people with wonderful ideas for work and family ties, since most of us are away from our country (Mexico)

The diplomatic officers are the ones that direct all of our duties and we report on a daily basis.

Different people have different needs. Whole families come to the Consulate for different purposes.

We get together on a irregular basis when there is something to celebrate.

Almost all of us get together on the annual Christmas party.

The hardest part of the job is in the afternoon. We have to prepare everything needed to start the next day.

The enjoyable part of the job is pay day!!

At the Mexican Consulate General in New York local employees are exploited and underpaid. There are no opportunities for promotion. But I did learn a lot. I learned how to write formally in Spanish and how to improve my speech writing skills. I learned how to make agenda for high profile politicians. But I have decided to leave due to the terrible workplace culture fostered by members of the Mexican Foreign Service who refuse to collaborate with non members. But I am glad I worked here for a year as it gave me solid skills in public policy analysis and it helped broaden my view of the US-Mexico relationship.

Being part of a Consulate was extremely rewarding, it gave me a wonderful opportunity to learn about the diplomatic process between two countries. 
I was able to be in contact with the most vulnerable part of an immigrant community and that changed my life and my view and prospective of it. 
The management (Consul General of Mexico and other Consuls for different departments) for which I had the honor to work for, were and still are incredible mentors for me.

It is great to work for a company that is open to new ideas and suggestions. We have the ability to manage our desks, create our daily schedules. The Executive Team has an open door policy, so you have support whenever you need it. Recruiters and Account Managers are constantly learning about people, technologies, companies and different industries. It is very satisfying helping people find jobs and helping companies find employees that they need. We are sales people so we are wheeling and dealing which is exciting and are rewarded by helping people find employment that suits their needs

This place is not a good place to work. You don't have any benefits, they are giving you tasks from other areas just because they want it. No human resources. They classified workers in two types, the government guys and the local staff. The local staff has no benefits, they earn a little and they have to work as a machine with more than 8 hours and they never pay overtime. The US law does not apply here because Mexico is paying.

The Mexican consulates are an elite organizations where only the consuls are able to receive good benefits. The local workers do not receive any  benefits and they work in 3rd world conditions with no job security or future in these places. 

This is what happens when the 3rd world expands to another civilize countries.

Very active
Be diplomat with everybody 
Manage the Administration Department of 2 Consular Missions and the Consuls agenda, events, trips and communications
Be multitask all the time
Meeting different people

typical day would consist of keeping up with all the headlines in the newspapers between the United States and Mexico. Keeping the Consul General of Mexico up to date on all of those headlines. coordinating and setting up interviews, i was able to work with city newspapers and companies like Univision and Telemundo.
