PART ONE of this guide is written to explain the job market and landscape in Mexico, how to go about seeking employment, and what to expect from the working environment here, as the culture and working ways are different to, for example, the U.S. and Europe, even if you are working for an American or European company.

PART TWO of this guide gives you a complete overview about being self-employed or starting your own business in Mexico.
