Jobs in Guatemala

If you want to work in Guatemala, you either check the job postings section in the local paper, or if there is a sign posted on the place you want to work at.

The monthly pay is very low compared to our standards. I saw an ad for a junior engineer.....salary scale Q2,000 to Q3,500 (less than $400 a month). The highest salary I saw was up to $1,500 USD a month (which is extremely good). In all these jobs you also had to speak and write english.

What I find interesting is that the job posting is very specific to what they want. It actually lists if they want a female or male, and also what age.

They rarely hire anyone over 35 years old.

Can you believe that?

I will never be able to work in this country.
