Hi guys! Welcome to a new video. I'm Miguel and I'm going to be telling you what it's like to work in the US.
Right now I am working at a greenhouse.
I am realizing that working here is much different than in guatemala
They expect you to mess up - I already have!
In my job I drive a golf cart with 2 or 3 trailers filled with flowers.
It took getting used to, because you have to turn really wide with all the trailers behind you.
With this cart I messed up 10 plants!
I was driving along nicely when I heard something behind me.
When I looked back, the car turned one way and 6 plants fell off!
When I turned back to the other side, I turned really quickly and 4 more plants fell off!
But if you mess up they only say, "just... try to mess up a little less ok?"
And they say it too you so nicely, it's like they're inviting you to keep messing up!
Let's go!
Almost everything here is done with a machine - it's like the job does itself!
There's a machine for everything - so the work isn't too hard. Of course that depends on your job.
In most jobs, there are people from all over the world! In my job most of them are latinos.
But there's also white people, asians, europeans, and african-americans.
It's incredible how many people from around the world you can meet working here!
I personally like working with people from all different countries. It's interesting to learn different cultures.
... their foods, their languages, and their hobbies.
Here it's very common they pay you every week.
In Guatemala, I was used to only being payed twice a month.
But I'm happy I get paid every week!
It's really nice, because I'm not crawling to get by at the end of every 2 weeks.
At work here, you are always being watched. It's not easy to slack off.
But a true slacker knows how to find a way to not have to do anything.
Everything here isn't easy like most people think, especially since I don't know much english.
It's sometimes hard for me to understand what they want me to do. So yeah... I feel kinda dumb sometimes...
sometimes....
And like in any job, there's always that one person you don't get along with.
There's one person in my work who doesn't speak or understand spanish.
So when he tells me something that makes me mad, I say a funny word in spanish.
I told her this was a Guatemalan way of way of saying thank you.
And everytime I say this, he laughs, and sometimes even says thank you!
Another not so great thing.... I had to wait 8 months to get my work permit.
I was so desperate to start working.
When I finally got my green card, I had to wait another month to get a job!
I went to 5 interviews, but since I have no experience working in the US, it's hard to get a first job.
And another thing, I don't have my drivers license yet
Most jobs require you to have reliable transportation.
So yeah, it was hard to find a job!
I got my job because I know someone who works at this greenhouse.
The most likely way to get your first job here is knowing someone who can connect you to a job.
Well guys, this was my first week working in the US!
I'm still learning, so I do make mistakes!
