Hotel workshadow for high school student?
Hi there. I am 17yrs old living in Cape Town South Africa. I am in my 2nd last yr of high school and am required to workshadow at a place of interest for two weeks. I would love to work in a hotel when I am older. I have been given the opportunity by my school to do my workshadow for 2wks abroad in September. I would love to do it in the USA, Canada or Europe. I have contacted some big hotel groups in the US but nobody replies. Can anybody help me get a workshadow position for 2wks or know of any hotel that will take me on?? PLEASE HELP!!! IT WOULD BE A DREAM OF MINE!!

Yes u are a brit citizen No need for work permit Yes you wuld be allowed U will be asked y u are there as u hv a brit passport Place and job - u have to apply for jobs - so many sites asre available So u hv to ask the agencies if they would provide u food and shetler all the best

Well you can always ask the airport people if they do private airplanes! -- don't worry about the hotel thing. Besides that I don't think I understand what you said.

If you are a British Citizen then it doesn't matter where you live or where you were born. Like my brother, he was born in Jo'burg (SA) from English parents (because my father was born in Germany when my Grandfather was serving in the British Army it wasn't easy to get him UK Citizenship). As a British Citizen the only difference between you and someone born and bred in UK is the taxes they pay which entitles them to welfare benefits etc. However, where someone is the citizen of a British Colony (like Hong Kong - where I now live), they may have a British Passport but may not qualify for Citizenship. And would require a work visa (through a slightly easier channel). As for what to say at Customs, the truth usually works. British customs are not after honest mistakes. Apply for work from Overseas, or take a 3 months UK trip for jobsearch.

Yes, you're a citizen. Go to the counter for British citizens when you arrive and they will only do a quick check of your passport. You don't need a work permit. You can stay as long as you like. There are thousands of jobs in hotels. Apply over the Internet.

I was a 17 year old guy in Switzerland and had a GREAT time. Almost everyone speaks English, plus several other languages. The country was beautiful, and the Swiss are very liberal with their young adults. I was there for the whole year, so I did have to function in German, but it wasn't required. Good luck with your choices...

you picked a lot of countries where you can't really get on just speaking english! japan and uruguay? thailand? brazil? lol... you'd definitely need to learn the language, either because english isn't all that common there, or because they don't care to use it and would rather use their own language (ie japan)!! i say don't worry so much about the language part... if you're going to study abroad for any worthwhile amount of time, you'll be able to pick up a language there and do fine. i did it! and it will look great on college apps if this is what you're doing before college. but otherwise, if you really want to be able to speak english all the time and more than just small talk, you've significantly narrowed down the number of countries you could study in. oh, and all countries have "cool girls," so i guess that depends on what you mean by cool? as in they go out and party? or they're intelligent and beautiful and you can pick them up on campus? and a huge part of study abroad IS freedom... however if you will be underage when you go, the rules may be different for you, for example if you're still in high school... so you'll have to check with the programs you're interested in and ask about that to know for sure. check out ciee.org for some good programs.

Most European countries have good English programs. Of course it varies (if you look at your foreign language class, I'm sure some kids do quite well and others can barely say a sntence, even thought they ahve taken the same classes). I am on exchange in Germany and when I arrived, I felt everyone spoke really good English. Then I realized everyone speaks English and a few people speak good English -- and it's the ones with good English who talked to me in English. The others COULD speak English, but were not very good and were quite nervous about speaking to a native English speaker (once I assured them all that my part of Canada does not speak French -- Germans know Canada speaks French and English but many haven't got much of an idea as to WHERE). However, that said, I have several friends from South America who speak English fluently. Not PERFECTLY, but I can talk to them just like I talk to native English speakers. Their mistakes are only little things, like saying 'swimmed' instead of 'swam' now and then. But a foreign exchange isn't about speaking English in a non-English speaking country. It's about learning a new language; a lot of programs will not be happy if you are not learning the language. It's okay to speak English at the start (I would have no friends if I no one had spoken English to me), but one of the huge points of exchange is to learn a language if you go to a country where the language is not your native one. I was sort of not-dating this guy and while most of the reason for our not-break up was other stuff, part of it was he spoke English to me, and how was I supposed to learn any German if I started dating a guy who spoke English to me? But I digress. South America is good for partying. Europe too, but a different culture. Funny enough, I feel like the 'Canadian' parties I went to seem 'wild' here, when they were just normal parties. But Germans don't do the 'liquor in one hand, chase in the other, out at night around a bonfire (or in a house in winter) with the smell of weed in the air' thing. It took me awhile to get that when I went to a 'party' with someone, I should not except something at a house or anything, but rather something where ID is checked, money to get in is paid, there's a DJ, and drinks are sold (kinda like a school dance, minus teachers/rules and with alcohol). Plus all the girls get dressed to kill and put on their most uncomfy shoes. It's fun, but different from home. And as an exchange student, it's not hard to get attention. I'm a girl so I guess it's different, but I end up getting a lot of free drinks -- which is cool with me! Freedom is going to depend on where you live (is it safe? can you get around easily?) and your family (do they have strict rules?) and to a smaller degree, your program. I am with Rotary and some of my friends nearby are not allowed to go to Köln (Cologne) for Karneval* because it's "too dangerous". (* Basically 5 days of drinking in costumes, as I understand it, and apparently a very very big deal as people have been mentioning it since I arrived here. They all put on "poor you" faces when i say we don't have it in Canada.)

If you want something completely different from back home, go to Ghana. English is the official language but when will you ever have an opportunity to live with an African family? Ghana is a beautiful country with great beaches, and stunning nature with lots of big animals - elephants, hippos, lions, leopards, many types of monkeys and birds. Plus any family that can take in a student is going to be a wealthy family so you wont be living in a hut with no toilet, youll probably have maids and drivers and cooks. And Ghanaian girls are gorgeous. India would also be very interesting. You could go to Europe at any time but somewhere like India or Ghana would really be a change

Start by looking at the UK, I think for someone from south africe that's the least amount of paperwork. The Schengen countries have extremely strict rules on work permits for outsiders. Even a summer working visa is still a considerable amount of paperwork

Foreign Exchange Student - What Country?
Foreign Exchange Student - What Country?
Tl;wr (Too long; won't read) What country should I go on for my exchange? _________________________________________________ Hey there, I plan on being a foreign exchange student my senior year of high school through the Rotary's Youth Exchange program. I haven't been accepted ... yet, because they do that in December, but I have though about which country I want to go to but would like some input :) These are the countries I am able to choose from: Africa Exchange Programs * South Africa Asia Exchange Programs * India * Japan * Russia * South Korea * Taiwan * Thailand Australia Exchange Programs * New Zealand Europe Exchange Programs * Austria * Belgium * Czech Republic * Denmark * Finland * France * Germany * Italy * Latvia * Lithuania * Norway * Poland * Slovakia * Spain * Sweden * Switzerland * Turkey North America Exchange Programs * Mexico South America Exchange Programs * Argentina * Brazil * Chile * Ecuador So far my top 3 choices are Norway, South Korea, and Russia. I want Norway because I heard it is a magnificent and beautiful place to be, and I am part Norwegian, but ... my main reason for going on this exchange is to learn a new language, and Norwegian isn't really useful in the USA or for that matter, anywhere but Norway! I also wanted South Korea because I've studied the language some, and my good friend is Korean and she's taught me some. The language is a great one to know because of business, and Korea's economy is strong; they also do a lot of trading with the USA. And... Russia? I'm not sure. The language seems pretty cool, but I'm not too sure about the country? So, what country do you think I should go to?! Give me good reason! :) (and preferably pick between my top 3, but if you see a different country that is awesome, list some reasons why and I might have a change of heart!) Thanks for everything! ... & reading this. :P P.S. The only country in which there is a language requirement is France, which is 3 years.

Well, if you are looking for a country for the language and business, go to India. There are tons of indians in the US now and also we do a TON of business with them, besides the fact that we also outsource to india A LOT. You'd be a head of people here if you learned hindi and about the indian culture in general. but...sure south Korea sounds nice?
2 :
go to Sweden!
3 :
The only problem with just picking any old country (I'm not sure about this program either personally as I never researched it) is that there might be language requirements. If that's the case, then that severely limits where you can go. Make sure that you have the language requirement (if there is one) for these countries before you set your heart on them.
4 :
Well my pick would definitely be Korea, amazing country, completely different culture so it's a cool experience plus Korea is fun and Koreans are cool and outgoing plus you can learn Korean easily as you already know some of it. Also, Koreans like americans (probably only country, lol). But dude, you can't except that once you speak a second language you can become some international business man, language really isn't everything. Millions of Koreans speak english and they are just regular people. And you're also wrong about Norwegian. Swedish and Danish are almost the same languages so you can speak there Norwegian too and people will understand, plus most people in Norway speak good English. Climate isn't exactly pleasant in Norway either and it's like dark and depressing for most of the time. And dude, you don't want to go to Russia. Not only the language will kill you, plus nobody there speaks English, maybe except a some young people but that's about it. Also, Russians are not exactly used to foreigners and I think that at some point you might not feel welcome in Russia. Plus it's not exactly rich country, if that matters to you. So yeah, I would probably go to South Korea, my second choice would be Italy (awesome people, good food, lot of nightlife and fun). When I was your age I went to Australia (to learn English). I'm European - not from any country I mentioned. PS: don't listen to the chick who talks about india. India has probably more english speakers than united states, so even if you by some miracle learned the language you're never gonna use it, maybe not even in india.

Are South Africans UNLUCKY or UNTALENTED in world cups?
Are South Africans UNLUCKY or UNTALENTED in world cups?
I told you so! I told you even before the South African team is way far overrated! And most of people disagreed. Many said that they were just unlucky in world cups. But were they really? Really folks?, really? really? Let's take every single world cup they played one by one â—1992 - Ok before the rain SA needed 22 to win from 13 balls. But after the rain, according to the rain effected match formula which was used those days, SA target has become 22 off one ball. And this may be the only occasion where u can call they were bit unlucky. But mind you one thing. Lets imagine that there was no rain. So then 22 off 13 balls means still a stiff and tough task! So yet England could have been the winner! â— 1996 - Haha here we cut to the real chase! Who can say south Africans were unlucky here at least a little bit? South Africa won all 5 robin round games and were totally out played by west indies (they lost even to kenya in the first round) in the quarter final. In other words SA were unable to win the real test, the must win game. So they failed big time! So was that unlucky? That was not unlucky at all! Wasn't it folks? ? 1999-Now lets go to the real controversial world cup. South Africa tied with Australia in the semi final. But Australia went through to the finals bcz they defeated SA in Super 6 stage. Talkng more of the semifinal it was poor communication while running between the wickets, made the run out of Alan Donald who was batting with Lance Klusner. I'd say yes run out is an unfortunate way to get out but nevertheless it's batsmen's fault. In other words "weakness". So SA couldn't win there bcz of their weakness of communicating and running between the wickets. That's not quite bcz of their unluckiness. Right? â— 2003- Some people says on this occasion SA had to go home from the first round bcz they read the D/L system formula wrong in the must win game with Sri lankans. After getting up to 229 for 6 in 45 overs they thought that they were ahead of Sri Lanks. But to be ahead of Sri lanka they should have been at 230 for 6 in 45 overs. So once again lack of knowledge about the D/L system was what made them going down and out! In other words a weakness. You know that in cricket not only the way you bat bowl and field but also the way you use your head is also gets in to play. So how come we say a student who failed the exam was unlucky if he didn't do his lessons correctly. No way! And also one more point... Did the south Africans deserve to be in the super 6's in that world cup? They lost to west indies and Newzealand too before Sri lanka match. I mean on their home soil! They only defeated Canada , kenya and Bangladesh. So keep the D/L thing aside. Yet they are not deserved to be in super 6's. Bcz at their home SA failed to defeat 2nd rated teams like NZ and west Indies on that world cup! So not unlucky really, Just untalented I'd say. â— 2007 Aha now here is another pure example of the point I am trying to prove. Where the hell did the South Africans became unlucky here? They lost to Australia in the first round by 88 runs. Then they lost to Bangladesh too in the Super 8 stage. And then finally were purely knocked out by Aussies once again in the semi final. South Africans were bowled out for some thing like 150 there! So there was no chance at hell you can say it was unfortunate. It was simply bcz they were not quite talented to be the world champions, or bcz they were not quite talented to win a single knock out match in world cups. â—2011 So moving on to this world cup Once again SA failed to win a knock out match in a world cup. they were done by Kiwis comfortably. Kiwis haven't been playing well (lost to Sri Lanka and Australia easily) but yet they thumped South Africans. So is that unlucky? really folks? really? i mean really? No, not at all. So here is a quick sum up. Ok i get it. In 1992 and 1999 they were bit unlucky. But all the other four world cups they failed to win a single knock out match not bcz they were unlucky but purely bcz they were not quite good enough! i mean it's obvious..Yeah it's crystal clear! So Look,I know that there are many Indians who said that SA was gonna play the world cup final with India. But i told you so it won't be. So here i have backed up my words. So so that's the truth, the whole truth, so wassup guys? any objections? No i have my points proving that they are just not good enough, not unlucky. They have never won a single knock out game in a world cup! Once again i am saying if they couldn't win a single must win game in world cups it simply says the entire story. No they were not unlucky. I rather want you to stick to my points and talk with some proof other than just keep on saying the South Africans were unlucky. Look i am talking with proof. Great answer from Howzzat. But look friend. i totally agree with you, no objections about the talent of South Africans. But to go through must win games in world cups you need some thing special, i mean than your normal attributes! So south Africans haven't got that ability. They have failed to go through the knock out stages.

First of all, good long descriptive analysis. Well done. I will say that South african players are very talented players. If you talk about stamina and physic, then they will be probably number one in cricket. They are not bad at all in talent. Watch out Hashim Amla, who completed 2000 runs in odi with 60+ batting average. Also he is number one batsman in ranking. Ab de villers is the best fielder in now days. Kallis is the best all rounder all time in cricket. Nitini is the one of those bowlers who can bowl at 145+ speed for half a day with good line and length. And also destructive batsman Harshel gibbs who make team win while chasing 435 runs in one day cricket. All these players can not be called non talented in any way. The main problem in South African cricket is confidence. They lack in confidence. They dont believe on themselves. They also plays on other's strengths not on their strength. The problem is in their mind set up. I think they should appoint asian coach, who can teach them to play positive cricket. The main point is right coaching and right captaincy. Yes, you are right that they dont have special cricketers like Malinga who takes 6 wickets at once and breaks the back bone of the opponent. Like Sehwag who makes century at a flash of a second. But again point is that they have talent but they dont have positive attitude and confidence. They played negative cricket against NewZealand. I think they should forget the past and starts to do things in new ways. Things are same but the requirement is to do in new way. They should rearrange the things and should start to play cricket without any pressure, without any negativity. (I dont think and believe on term "luck") I hope that next time they will win in knock out stage(except against India)..!

They always had best side on papers.They always start strong but they chock in knockout stages.They don't have players who can keep their nerves and play match winning knocks in Crucial matches.But I didn't expected them to crash out of world cup like they did against NZ.

I told you so! I told you even before the South African team is way far overrated! And most of people disagreed. Many said that they were just unlucky in world cups. But were they really? Really folks?, really? really? Let's take every single world cup they played one by one â—1992 - Ok before the rain SA needed 22 to win from 13 balls. But after the rain, according to the rain effected match formula which was used those days, SA target has become 22 off one ball. And this may be the only occasion where u can call they were bit unlucky. But mind you one thing. Lets imagine that there was no rain. So then 22 off 13 balls means still a stiff and tough task! So yet England could have been the winner! â— 1996 - Haha here we cut to the real chase! Who can say south Africans were unlucky here at least a little bit? South Africa won all 5 robin round games and were totally out played by west indies (they lost even to kenya in the first round) in the quarter final. In other words SA were unable to win the real test, the must win game. So they failed big time! So was that unlucky? That was not unlucky at all! Wasn't it folks? ? 1999-Now lets go to the real controversial world cup. South Africa tied with Australia in the semi final. But Australia went through to the finals bcz they defeated SA in Super 6 stage. Talkng more of the semifinal it was poor communication while running between the wickets, made the run out of Alan Donald who was batting with Lance Klusner. I'd say yes run out is an unfortunate way to get out but nevertheless it's batsmen's fault. In other words "weakness". So SA couldn't win there bcz of their weakness of communicating and running between the wickets. That's not quite bcz of their unluckiness. Right? â— 2003- Some people says on this occasion SA had to go home from the first round bcz they read the D/L system formula wrong in the must win game with Sri lankans. After getting up to 229 for 6 in 45 overs they thought that they were ahead of Sri Lanks. But to be ahead of Sri lanka they should have been at 230 for 6 in 45 overs. So once again lack of knowledge about the D/L system was what made them going down and out! In other words a weakness. You know that in cricket not only the way you bat bowl and field but also the way you use your head is also gets in to play. So how come we say a student who failed the exam was unlucky if he didn't do his lessons correctly. No way! And also one more point... Did the south Africans deserve to be in the super 6's in that world cup? They lost to west indies and Newzealand too before Sri lanka match. I mean on their home soil! They only defeated Canada , kenya and Bangladesh. So keep the D/L thing aside. Yet they are not deserved to be in super 6's. Bcz at their home SA failed to defeat 2nd rated teams like NZ and west Indies on that world cup! So not unlucky really, Just untalented I'd say. â— 2007 Aha now here is another pure example of the point I am trying to prove. Where the hell did the South Africans became unlucky here? They lost to Australia in the first round by 88 runs. Then they lost to Bangladesh too in the Super 8 stage. And then finally were purely knocked out by Aussies once again in the semi final. South Africans were bowled out for some thing like 150 there! So there was no chance at hell you can say it was unfortunate. It was simply bcz they were not quite talented to be the world champions, or bcz they were not quite talented to win a single knock out match in world cups. â—2011 So moving on to this world cup Once again SA failed to win a knock out match in a world cup. they were done by Kiwis comfortably. Kiwis haven't been playing well (lost to Sri Lanka and Australia easily) but yet they thumped South Africans. So is that unlucky? really folks? really? i mean really? No, not at all. So here is a quick sum up. Ok i get it. In 1992 and 1999 they were bit unlucky. But all the other four world cups they failed to win a single knock out match not bcz they were unlucky but purely bcz they were not quite good enough! i mean it's obvious..Yeah it's crystal clear! So Look,I know that there are many Indians who said that SA was gonna play the world cup final with India. But i told you so it won't be. So here i have backed up my words. So so that's the truth, the whole truth, so wassup guys? any objections? No i have my points proving that they are just not good enough, not unlucky. They have never won a single knock out game in a world cup! Once again i am saying if they couldn't win a single must win game in world cups it simply says the entire story. No they were not unlucky. I rather want you to stick to my points and talk with some proof other than just keep on saying the South Africans were unlucky. Look i am talking with proof. Great answer from Howzzat. But look friend. i totally agree with you, no objections about the talent of South Africans. But to go through must win games in world cups you need some thing special, i mean than your normal attributes! So south Africans haven't got that ability. They have failed to go through the knock out stages.

The problem you may be facing is that U.S. companies (such as hotels) can not offer you sponsorship to work in the U.S., even as a workshadow position. In writing to these hotels have you mentioned that you already have your visa taken care of or are you looking for sponsorship? Work rules and sponsorship is tightened up a lot here in the U.S. and most companies will not be able to help you out. I do not know about laws and rules for Canada or Europe as far as workers and visas to work.
