Important notes

2- Please ask as many questions as you like before applying and be sure to consult our Frequently Asked Questions section to ensure that you have all the answers you need.
3- While we encourage candidates to indicate their position of interest in their application emails, it is easiest to get placed if you are flexible on the specific position, duties and location of the jobs.
4- Wherever possible, documents should be presented in English. The references may be presented in Spanish.
5- Professional references are ideal and go a long way to helping your future employer make a hiring decision about you. Character references, for people with less professional experience, should be from current or former professors or other people that have known you in a professional/educational context and can speak from authority about your abilities. References must be sent directly to info@internationaljobsmexico.com and should remain confidential. Applicants should not see the references. The email that is sent by the people referring you should contain your name and the word reference in the subject line.
