Consulate General of Brazil

On a typical work day, I would be tending to over 200 people in a very high paced environment. Dealing with confidential internal and external information. I would provide Brazilian government issued documents.
Management is very different for the Brazilian government than it is for a private sector, where you would have a supervisor. The hardest part of my job is having to turn people down on documents that aren't authorized to be expedited. Also the unfortunate part that there is no room for growth. The most enjoyable part of my job is seeing my ideas evolve and being able to help people with their problems.

No comments to be made. It's was a job performed under braziliam goverment administration and brazilian law. Even to contribute to Social Security we had to do us we were self employed, and them pay the taxes this way, because they sent everything to Brazil and we suppose to get retirement in Brazil not here. It was just not good for me. Many of the employees had to open a saving account only to put same amount of money on side to be able to pay the taxes for the IRS at the end or beginning the year, what was a big take out of our salary that, by the way, under the braziliam law, was paid once a month, making our life very difficult too.

Helping hundreds of people daily renew/replace their Brazilian documents in a friendly positive manner. The work wasn't hard but could get tiresome and repetitive during the dog hours of the day. The key was to keep an upbeat attitude and understand that these people are relying on you to help them get their affairs in order.

we can help the public with extremely important documents, co-workers are pretty much a family. the hardest part is to deal with the rules changing all the time and not having promotion or raise. 
con fraternization is the best part of the job.

Help the public with questions regarding consular services and brazilian citizendhip
legal research on immigration, civil and family law

Work has good flexibility and good vacation benefits but salary is on the floor for the amount of work and no chance for growth. Management don't do anything for the improvement of the company.

I was responsible to drive de Brazilian Ambassador for meetings, restaurants, etc, around NY and out State. And drive Politicians from Brazil.

I learned to be responsible, very responsible.

Place is very nice, with cool workers.
Hardest part is on public relations, people sometimes are very stressed out and don't have any patience.
Overall you learn about a lot of things related with public documentation.

Its a good job, but no room for growth unless you want to become a diplomat, which is not my case since i don't really like dealing with politics.

Free health insurance, paid vacation time, holidays, but low pay. No career advancement at all. No permanent management. They change every 2-5 years. No retirement plan.
