Expert: Francisco Salas Date: 5/27/2008 Subject: Moving back and confused
Question Hi Francisco, I have asked you a question before but im still a bit confused and i would like for you to give me some advice. Im 19 years old and im currently living in New Jersey. A few months ago i decided to move back to Venezuela and enroll in college there. The college of my choice is La Universidad Arturo Michelena located in Valencia, even though im determined to leave by next year im still a bit scared since i haven't been there in a lot of years. My main concern is my ability to find a job that will let me practice my English...i dont know if you recomend for me to apply at any company you know as soon as i get there...also, do you think i made the right decision? things are not getting sny easier for me here. I wanted to know what you think about my plan.... Im also thinking about Spain as another place to move, in your opinion, which one is better between the two? sorry for such a long email and thank you for your time.
Im looking forward to hear from you!!!
Answer Hello Estefany:
Te respondo en espaņol, porque si vienes a Venezuela debes entender espaņol.....e igual sucede con el ir a Espaņa.
Con 19 aņos es poca experiencia para aplicar en un trabajo formal, como por ejemplo Ford Motor de Venezuela, o General Motors en Valencia.
Siempre es una buena oportunidad si puedes dar clases de ingles en institutos especializados (Berlitz, Rouge, Centro Venezolano Americano, etc...o en programas IN COMPANY en una empresa. Sobre todo conversacion.
La seleccion de venira a Venezuela o ir a Espaņa depende de tus condiciones, tienes Visa para trabajar y/o estudiar en Espaņa ?
Espaņa tiene mas cultura, mas mundo, mas competitivo.....en Venezuela lo mejor es el precio de la gasolina,pero menos libertad, un regimen neo-totalitario y sobre todo INSEGURO....en pocas palabras puedes morir atracada...lo mas probable es que te asalten en algun momento.....pero la gente tiende a ser feliz debido a su ignorancia...no cuantifican el nivel de riesgo !
En igualdad de condiciones: Te recomiendo Espaņa...y si no te gusta Espaņa, puedes siempre venir a Venezuela.....
