As I mentioned before, students have the right to work legally during the period provided by the Work and Travel USA program. Based on the program, there are two scenarios for a student:
- They look for a job on their own.
- They buy a ready-made Job Offer from the International Exchange Center for about $300.
Naturally, we chose the first option.
It was tough, but believe me, it was worth it.
First, you look for a job in the place YOU want.
Second, you save money, of course (sorry, but $300 doesn't grow on trees). Third, you gain experience in writing a resume and official correspondence with an employer.
But it's not as easy as it seems (as it seemed to us).
Finding a job is a lot of hard work; you need to send not 50, but over 500 resumes to get at least one positive response. And I'm not exaggerating; the three of us applied for this program, but only two of us found a job, as our friend gave up around the 70th one.
It takes a lot of time and effort, but it's worth it :)
Well, if you decide to buy a Job Offer, the agency will give you a couple of vacancies to choose from. So easy!
