We have moved away from the franchise system to a more centralized one (you can Google some recent news on that front). If you work hard and are good at what you do, you get noticed. Pretty much the same as with most companies. It helps to express an interest in advancement, as well.

It has always amazed me, in my working life, how some complain about not getting promoted when they don't even take the initiative to put themselves out there for consideration. It is as if they expect the position to come to them. If one does not have the condfidence to say "Hey, consider me because I am pretty damned good at this," he is unlikely to meet any management profile, to begin with. That is, after one has proven that they are pretty damned good at what they do. To do so before might be met with some resistance. Wink


Thanks for the info Wink


Sure. Anytime.

I spent three years in Mexico. I never intended to make it my life, but I did work very hard to become a good teacher and gained as much as I put into the experience. When I returned home two years ago, I lucked into a social work job that fit my career goals exactly. Now I'm in grad school for social work, still working part time, and using the teaching skills I developed in Mexico during class presentations, my TA work and much more. I also find that superior editing skills are helpful in my own schoolwork and when marking my students.

So yes, a person can do well at home after working in Mexico. A lot depends on why the person went to Mexico in the first place.

I really enjoyed the Red Glass it took me back to the Huajuapan I arrived in almost 13 years ago. It certainly has changed since then.
