Agos Tanquia is an Argentine who lives in Miami and has a large following on TikTok, where she receives hundreds of inquiries about the Florida lifestyle. Therefore, in the same social network explained that working in the United States can be as good or as bad according to the status of foreigner before the authorities. As she is also a migrant, she told from her experience what the process of getting a job in the North American country is like. In that sense, gave a harsh warning about the negative points to be aware of.
“I regret to inform you that here the professions are worthless”, was the phrase with which he introduced @Augustanquia on TikTok an explanatory video about the employment situation in the city where he lives. She mentioned that one of the things she is asked the most after moving is how to get a job with the profession that a person studied in their country of originbut the answer he gave did not like many.
