Position Description – Jobs in America

The Work and Travel program is designed for students who want to work and travel in the United States during summer vacation. The program provided by American Adventure is located in areas and cities that are worth visiting as tourists. Specifically, the reason why employers need manpower in these places is primarily due to the popularity of the location, which attracts a large number of visitors during the summer months. Start your adventure in places like Las Vegas, Ocean City, Florida, California, Cape Cod, North Carolina, Alaska, Hawaii…

Regardless of the destination, jobs are seasonal, so they do not require special qualifications or experience in tourism and catering within the basic programs. In case your future job requires direct contact with customers, charm and communication skills as well as advanced knowledge of English will be crucial.

Your tasks will generally be simple and the adjustment period minimal because your employer will provide training if needed.

When you arrive in the United States through the Work and Travel program, you will enjoy the same rights as Americans. In most cases, you can easily find another part-time job. It is important to know that you have the right to do as many additional jobs as you want (as long as those jobs are reported to the sponsoring agency that takes care of your status during your stay in America), that you will have an agreed hourly rate, tip and overtime compensation. Full-time work usually means 40 hours per week. Employers are legally obliged to pay overtime to their employees. Overtime is calculated in the amount of 150% of the regular wage rate, for each additional hour over the 40th of the week.

Every journey is in itself a step into something new and unknown. If you know some information about the program and your job in general, the fact is that there is some more information that you need to know before you leave. The better prepared you are, the better you will use this program and you will be able to enjoy it without unpleasant surprises.

So that you don’t think too much about what and how, we have compiled a small list of necessary things for you to do before you set off.

Visit the doctor and dentist!

You are young and you should not have any major health problems, but in any case you will change your environment, habits and diet, so it is good to visit a doctor and dentist before leaving. Check your blood count and get tested for potential allergies. Also, check the health of your teeth and thus minimize the possibility of health and financial problems.

Prepare the documentation!

If you have already passed the sighting, listen carefully to all the advice you have received so far from our colleagues in the agency. Make copies of documents to share with parents or friends in case you lose yours. Email the scanned documents to yourself. Passport loss is not uncommon and can be very embarrassing! That’s why it’s good to have a few copies with you.

Get an international driver’s license!

This is only if your job in America requires it or if you later want to travel and rent a car. The international driver’s license is issued by the Auto Moto Association of Serbia and costs 3,000 RSD and is valid for up to 2 years.

Explore where you will be!

Explore which larger city is closest to your place of residence, where you can go for a walk, have fun or whatever else you can see. And most importantly, you can explore where you could look for additional work if you are interested.

Pass as many exams as possible!

Although we have already mentioned the importance of passing the exams, it is worth reminding you. It is best to pass as many exams as possible before leaving. That way, you will be able to give yourself a break, enjoy the program with relief, and when you return, you can carelessly collect impressions with friends.

Restore English!

Basic knowledge of English is necessary for you to be able to establish communication with the employer, as well as other people in your environment. Count on it and that you will gain many acquaintances with people from other speaking areas, and you will have to communicate with them in English.

How to check if your phone works on American networks at all?!

It’s time to slowly prepare for the trip to America, so with this text we decided to help you a little and briefly explain how telephone networks work there. There are two network systems that we in America can use with a SIM card, and they are: ATT and T-mobile. If you want to check the compatibility of your phone, you can do it simply and simply on the site willmyphonework.net where you just need to enter your phone model and select the network with which you want to check compatibility. If you don’t happen to know your phone model, you can also check it by going to your android phone settings and going to the last item (about phone). If you can’t find it either, you can check under your phone’s battery or simply on its original box. It certainly says there. After all, you get a SIM card from our agency that you can use without interruption while you are there.
