Hi everyone!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After almost one year since I decided to apply to Architect-US<\/strong>\u00a0I am finally starting my trainee program in San Diego<\/strong>. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My name is Juan Arredondo, a Spanish Architect graduated in 2019 from \u201cUniversidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid\u201d. During the last years, I have been jumping from one office to other; mainly small offices located in different countries as Chile, Portugal or Madrid. I wanted a change in my professional life and found in Architect-us a great opportunity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I met them some years ago through their advertisements posted in the walls of my university. Although I always dreamed with the possibility to move to the United States, I never venture to become a member of their talent pool. Finally, in July 2022, I decided to start the process\u00a0and, after some months, I got the offer from HMC Architects I finally accepted.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since then, the Architect-US<\/strong> team has made really easy all the process to get my visa, they have helped me with everything. In fact, nearly my only task was to go to the USA<\/strong> embassy for an interview to get the visa approved; there they only asked me a few questions about personal information and my previous background. A few days later I already had my visa at home!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Right now, I find myself preparing everything for my departure; as excite about discovering California<\/strong>, and specially the Sunshine City<\/strong>, as frightened about such a huge change in my life. However, I am convinced, it is going to be a great opportunity to grow personal and professionally and expose myself and learn from\u00a0a new culture, meet new people and improve my skills.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In some days I will start my adventure. See you in San Diego<\/strong>!\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
