el rubro

How it is used in Bolivia

A word you'll hear constantly in Bolivian professional talk, your world, your sector. A recognition seed here; it becomes central in chapter 3.

One of the most useful words in Bolivian professional Spanish. '¿De qué rubro sos?' is a completely standard question, and introductions happen 'dentro del rubro' constantly.

The word that keeps recurring across this situation: your professional world. Wanting to 'conocer el rubro' is a completely normal, well-received thing to say when you're new.
