QUOTE(wenzhenzhen @ Nov 11 2013, 11:11 PM) My trip was awesome. I went to new york,chicago, san diego, san francisco, Las vegas, grand canyon and niagara falls. Anyway when choosing employer dont ever choose Cedar Point(CP) because they overhired people and you wont get enough working hours. I would say working is so-so because working experience is sucks but I managed to meet awesome colleagues. Grad you enjoyed it. Do they always overhire people?Mind sharing your itinerary of your trip after u finish working? You went alone or with friends? I'm currently planning to go alone, so I'm not sure how am I going to travel after I finish working  |

QUOTE(JessieOoi @ Nov 13 2013, 07:19 AM) What make Alaska the best place? Is it because of the work hour ? or the tips ? I got a sample job list and the job details from OOTB, the pay and minimum hour is almost the same as other employer, so this make me wondering I guess they tip higher in Alaska   The sample job list you got from OOTB, is it for summer 2014? Mind sending it to me to have a look at it? |

QUOTE(JessieOoi @ Nov 13 2013, 11:34 AM) Tips bigger? I'm under the impression that Alaska is a less developed place in US? The sample job list is for summer 2013. They just sent it to me so I roughly get an idea about what job the employers are offering. I'll pm u the link. Got it, thanks I applied under Speedwing but so far they only sent me 3 job profiles. Where are you planning to head to? |

Those 3 I've received is Yellowstone, Sheraton Hotel Virginia and Santa Cruz California.
I'm thinking of going to Morey's Pier since its closer to the other tourist spots like NY, Niagara Falls, Liberty Island, Chicago etc. But still planning though, wanna try to get jobs with tips >.< |

QUOTE(JessieOoi @ Nov 13 2013, 01:34 PM) I think I read from somewhere, Morey's Pier only operate during weekends on certain period. Not sure if going there can earn enough $$ to cover back the 10k. LOL. So I'm trying to a job with more working hours. Maybe it's still early, the work choices is not much yet. Not sure bout that, have to wait till Speedwing provides me with further information.Yeah I also plan on earning enough to cover back that 10k, that's why I've been trying to find a Waiter job |

QUOTE(JessieOoi @ Nov 13 2013, 01:57 PM) Lets hope the work choices will increase soon Yeah, hope that there will be more server jobs for now most of them are either team park workers or the house keeper. How long do you plan working there? I plan on working for the full period from 15th May to 15th September, gotta earn as much as possible, else not enough to cover that 10k and my travelling expenses |

QUOTE(JessieOoi @ Nov 13 2013, 02:14 PM) Travel for 1 month? I still deciding if I should cut short my travelling period. Don't know how many places can visit for 2 weeks. Damn convo. Yeah, most probably will be travelling for 1 month, but I can't think of many places to go to. If I'm going to work at the East coast, I should be able to go to the cities during my off days. And the only place I plan on visiting over at the West coast should only be Vegas and the Canyons lol. Btw my convo is in July as well, but I deferred it to November for WAT |

QUOTE(jason991 @ Apr 28 2014, 12:42 AM) yeah with other friends total of 6 persons, i work at resort as room attendants hope they tip well though I'm sure they will. Btw which airline are you flying with? QUOTE(x3stephy @ Apr 28 2014, 12:44 AM) well guys, is there any WAT program to USA for non-students? I'm so interested with all these WAT but I've only see them applicable to full time students only. So far there isn't any WAT programs for non-students, your best chance will be applying for an internship there |
