C's mom The first thing that you need to do is to get your hands on the best deal for you, and then you can get your hands on the best deal for you. I really, really don't envy (scratch that).
--------------------------
Cheekily, I'll tell you my own:
We required 200 hours of internship and 1,000 hours of work experience for our undergraduate degree, and I applied to a six-month internship program at a resort hotel in Saipan, where I was offered a very low salary, including meals, housing, and round-trip airfare, and I was recruited by a single person. The hotel also has no Chinese staff, so I hesitated to go to that place for a long time because I was so lonely and tired.
The internship is basically about ordering food, but it's worth mentioning that the hotel has a job called "clubmate", which is a very cool name! The company has a number of different types of clubmates, and they can be found in a number of different countries, including the United States, Canada, France, Germany, France, Italy, Italy, Italy, Japan, Korea, and the United States. ...In fact, most of the time, just need a quiet sun play handsome and flirt with guests ......
The above steal from my next-door clubmate, a Korean girl, and her roommate a U.S. girl
Before I started my internship, because clubmate and The hotel had to put in place a policy that once a clubmate was found in a hotel room, he would be fired...
However, I still heard about my American colleague A being pinched on the nipple by a Russian woman with a child at the pool...
This is the first time I've heard of a clubmate being pinched on the nipple by a Russian woman with a child at the hotel. Very handsome indeed
Thanks for the photo ↓
And me ...... being the only Chinese, I live on one floor with about 10 other Korean American Canadian interns. They were catering interns like me, marketing front desk interns, and lively and enthusiastic clubmates.
Throughout the six months, the socially passive me as soon as I got off work was shouted at by the energetic them to go snorkeling on the small island of managaha next to me, shouted at for hiking to the strange mountains, shouted at for picnics on the beaches, shouted at for tree-climbing, shouted at for star-gazing, and shouted at for drinking wine.
With no internet access, our rooms are usually half-open to allow us to hang out and play, so we are often in the room at night when a number of people come in unexpectedly...(the long-haired girl in the picture below is not me, not me) Talking about unsupportive words and playing unsupportive games, drinking beer and eating snacks to get through the difficult night...
These are the things that we do when we are in the room...
This is a great way to make sure that you can enjoy your time in the room.
↑Because of the barrenness of the place, when the party was held, everyone chipped in a few dollars and went downstairs to buy a big box of ice-cream and cookies to eat, and then they smiled happily.
Not to mention the time to go to this restaurant where the lunchtime steak set is only 10 dollars!
While the daily routine is to work in the evening and the Korean girl a bowl of instant noodles to eat and go downstairs to play ping pong and so on ......
In the internship in the bar bartending for a month, but also because the hotel is really very casual, with my staff every time I threw the bar to play with their own, leaving me to face the cupboard of wine and the guests ↓
So that month, I was in the bar, I was in the bar and the guests to play with my own. p>
So that month, I made countless guests drunk, because I mix a Long Island Iced Tea, wait for me to finish pouring ice cubes and base wine ready to pour Coke, found that the cup is already full 0.0 That period of time a few male clubmate is very like to invite the hotel's female guests to drink →_→
On one occasion there was a night a Korean couple, the man asked for a Long Island Iced Tea, and then drank a few mouthfuls of it and weakly asked me if I can not add a little Coke.
While I don't have a lot of work to do compared to clubmate, I often see a lot of fun things, such as children from different countries playing and fighting (mistake), and all kinds of swimsuit beauties~~~ (big mistake)
Because of the English name Hannah, there are always Korean guests who think that I am a Korean, and the guests are very excited to point out that I am a Korean. I'm not a Korean, but I think I'm a local (because I'm black ......), and I'm polite, and I'm careful to speak English, so I thought I was going international with my English, and then I realized I had a Korean accent. A Korean accent =. =
By the way Korea also does not have the habit of tipping, my Korean colleagues are complaining that the Korean guests swing to swing to also do not tip, but many Korean guests in the discovery that I am not Korean will be torn to tip, and then some will be given a couple of dollars, I think it is quite difficult ...... ...... However, sometimes the way to give people laugh and cry, such as very serious pull out a dollar (or rare coins it) in my hand, said "good!" pat my shoulder, immediately let me feel that I was awarded a medal ~ there is also when I left and I Shake hands with me and a dollar bill secretly give me ~ (later Korean colleagues explained that customers feel that the public tip will be taken away by the manager to give me privately so that I can get a tip touched ah!)
Saipan is actually more backward than the countryside except for a few large hotels, the food is very difficult to eat, our interns even only have one hour a day to access the Internet, the island's local people are generally low level of education and outlook on the island is also a little difficult to describe, but no matter how much you think about it after that, you feel that the experience is too interesting. I learned a lot on the job, went to a lot of little-known places on the island, lived with a bunch of fellow interns who were full of chicken blood, and understood a lot of Korean!
Like many restaurant employees, I've made mistakes and been scolded to the point of hiding in the restroom and crying, but I've been comforted by other interns and by the low spirits I've experienced.
Also, I found out that the American internship clubmate secretly saves up his pitiful salary and saves up thousands of dollars to travel around Asian countries after completing half a year of internship.
I have also seen the friction between interns from different countries due to cultural and personality differences, and this experience has become the motivation for studying anthropology.
Korean interns make up the majority of the internship program and are a one-year program. As long as there are interns leaving, they will have a "surprise" the night before they leave, a group of people rushing in with cakes and gifts to hold a farewell party, super sensational QAQ
I'm one of those who didn't like Korea very much, but then I went to Korea to find them to play a trip, and I also got to see them at their favorite Korean girl's house, which was the first time I saw them. I'm not a big fan of Korea, but I went to Korea and had fun with them, and I stayed at my favorite Korean girl's house for two days ~ Although they are so prejudiced against China that they can't help but ask me questions that make me want to vomit blood, the prejudice hasn't affected their attitude towards people, so I hope that the educational media can reduce the prejudice (digression)
The paradox is that the person who chose to do an internship on Saipan from my university after I left was also Chinese, and in the only conversations I had with him, he complained about the hotel, the hotel, the hotel, the hotel, the hotel, the hotel, the hotel, the hotel, the hotel, and the hotel. In the few conversations I had with him, he complained about the hotel environment and the fact that he couldn't understand the English of the Korean interns, not caring about the kindness of the interns or the sandy beaches and the stars that he could enjoy without any effort at all.
While I was totally relieved to be done with my six months of work, thinking that I finally don't have to serve the dishes anymore, Saipan is such a small place that my heart is very warm when I think about it now.
I am familiar with the only movie theater on the island, the only nightclub that opens on weekends, I know where to find the cheapest steak, Japanese food, and pizza, I know how to get to where you can see a starry sky, where to go for a swim and be quiet, I know the Chinese people who rent cars and electric carts from across the street from the hotel, and I know the Chinese ladies who work in the massage parlors, and I know the waiters in the Chinese restaurants. I listened to my Filipino coworkers tell me that Chinese people can save money in the restaurant, listened to her and her American Navy boyfriend's love story in the house of her Nepalese beauty coworker (who later married in the US), listened to my local coworkers tell me the strange stories of their siblings who used to have sex on the island when the island was too small, and was sometimes shocked by their casual attitudes towards sex. ...... so Saipan doesn't feel like a touristy island with ocean and beaches to me, but rather like a small isolated village that looks at the foreign population and tourists with curiosity and confidence.
So the experience is probably that a boring job can be interesting to some, and an interesting job can be boring to others.
And regret how not to learn sailing and surfing for free while you are an employee, and you can also learn scuba diving for half price ah fall!
=================
Many people ask about this kind of job application, put a few links, but the work visa thing is not very clear, itself is studying with a visa will be more convenient, in the country if you ask more also have the opportunity, I have seen a lot of Chinese employees in the Yellowstone National Park is directly from the country, Disney can also. Of course, if you care too much about the salary, you won't usually find it enjoyable...
Everyone has a different standard for what makes a good job interesting, and it can't be the same, it's just that under the influence of society and culture, you think that these standards are uniform, and you have too many concerns.
One of our internship partners, an American boy of 27 years old, is still doing what many Chinese consider to be an "unorthodox and unstable" job. As a double-degree graduate in design and photography from Purdue University, he taught sailing for a year at a spot in the U.S. before coming to Saipan as a clubmate, and then returned to the U.S. and went to another national park. He has taught us to tie solid knots and knows a variety of outdoor sports, all of which makes everyone think his job is cool. My best friend from Korea, who is similar to me, suddenly wanted to change his major when he got back to Korea, so he started studying web design from scratch and is now working at a magazine. I've just finished my Masters in Anthropology, and when I talk to people about this internship, I'm often told that it's a shame that this experience in a hotel won't help you in your studies and work, and that you've wasted another six months. However, for us, this work seems to be very tired and unworthy at the time, and later on, more or less on the work of the school and the mindset to help, just like volunteering, if you think there is no money and do not volunteer, and then there is nothing on the resume and then anxious to be too late ......
But if you are too concerned about how much money there is in a job, and whether there is any direct help to your future career, then you will be able to get the job done, and then you will be able to get it done. If you care too much about how much money a job is and whether it will directly help your career, you'll be bound by that value without realizing it.
