    Does anyone know where I might find work in Mexico DF?
    I don't speak any Spanish and I don't really want to teach English or work in a call-centre, although I have done some teaching and am considering working in a call-centre. I'm trained in industrial electronics and have done bench-technician work, including testing, soldering, fault-finding and repair, and PCB population etc. I have done other work in electronics departments, but am not a desk person.
    I like any job to do with electronics, electrics and mechanics. I can do related assembly work, and am good at fixing domestic appliances of all kinds. One of my interests is in Home-automation.
    I cannot speak Spanish, so I need a job where being bilingual isn't necessary.

    Can you help please?

    Well, teaching is the obvious job, but anyway you don't want it and it requires at least a bit of Spanish to deal with the day to day things at the school.
    You might find some jobs were they specifically require an English speaker but I doubt that in electronic you will find a 100% English speaking environment.
    You should have a look at our guide for expatriates in Mexico, there are several sections about jobs/work.

    Thanks for that - Cyril. I will take a look at the guide, but I may have already looked!

    You can also put your CV on the site with your search.
    And have a look at job ads with the sites we link in our article to get ideas...

    I've now uploaded my CV.
    Why is there only one job on offer out of the whole 19 categories? for Mexico.

    Good :)
    Ads are only displayed for 3 months (no point on keeping the job post for 2 years, position will have been filled by then). Currently nobody has posted more ads for Mexico but hopefully we will have more in 2013 :)

    You can also read the experience of other expats in Mexico with our directory of expat blogs in Mexico.
