Mexico: Help and advice abroad

Public employment services

The Servicio Nacional de Empleo provides the Portal del Empleo , which includes excellent information on job searching, training opportunities, guidance on courses, advice and guidance on employment rights and labour market statistics.

Higher education careers support

If you are a student at a university, take advantage of their ‘bolsas de trabajo’ (careers and employment services). Some universities only offer these services to their own graduates and students. However, some have websites with useful advice and information that anyone can access, e.g. the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM)  careers service, which includes CV and interview advice.

Help in an emergency

Register your details with the British Embassy in Mexico . This is advised even for short visits. You now do this using their online service, LOCATE . This offers many advantages should you need emergency help or access to consular services, e.g. due to natural catastrophe, acts of terrorism, loss of passport.

During emergencies, contact the British Embassy in Mexico .

Other emergency contact numbers in Mexico are:

• 066 - general emergencies;
• 060 - police;
• 065 - medical/ambulance;
• 068 - fire department.
