Default Hi I am introducing myself

Hello to all of you, my name is Salvatore La Grasta, I am Italian residing in the island of Malta. I am 41 years old. I have decided to join this forum for I would like to look for a job in Mexico and actually move there too. I have been a Policeman for 21 years and thus I am looking for something in this line like a PSO (personal security officer) or in the security section. I speak three languages, Italian, English and Maltese (very fluently) and Arabic (but not so fluent as it needs to be polished and practiced). I hope that people in this forum could be of help and thus I thank you in advance.

My ex wife spoke manly Spanish when were were first married and once when my next door neighbors had visitors from Italy who only spoke Italian she could communicate very well with this couple for the 6 weeks they were in San Diego. This was very interesting.

True...Spanish and Italian are very similar. The avenue of the Italian embassy may be a good one.

Thanks for the advice. Yes I do not speak Spanish but I have a flair with languages and I am sure that it would not take long for me to speak spanish too. Apart from the Italian embassy do you think it is possible to find a job as PSO....PSO is like body guard. This is my line of experience being in the Police for the past 21 years in which two of them were in the special Police.

Yes you are right infact. We get many Spanish tourists here in Malta and have seen that I can communicate with them by speaking in Italian.

Yes the advice given in regards to the Italian Embassy is a good one, however due my line of work I was hoping for something more into the security services, personal body guards etc etc....I have made reasearch in this line however as yet I am still empty handed.

You also have to get passed the work visa requirements as a foreigner as well so, just as with Americans, it's not so easy to find work here.
