I thought u we’re gonna say “and by situations I mean shittuations.” 😂😂😂😂 all me deh here with tears in my eyes girl! People fi stop badmind people because they don’t know how hard we have to work for our things.
Were you subject to 212e, a 2 year home-residency requirement, after you got the visa? or if u not sure look at the bottom of the J1 visa in your passport
Good info. Sorry about your Mcdonald's experience. Question: Does an employer need to participate in J1 program. Based on your story it sounds like you were able to go to any employer.Thanks for sharing your story
Hello, thank you for sharing your experience. I would be going for the summer work and travel in a month time. I would like to know if housekeepers get tips or what kind of second jobs should I look out for that I could get tips? Thank you
Yes, housekeepers get tips but guests rarely leave tips. On some occasions where guests leave tips it’s taken by house men who strip the room (remove the sheets and trash) 😩 Housekeepers have a better chance of making tips when they do stay-overs. That means, clean rooms for guests who are ‘in-house’. So guests may tip them for bringing clean towels, tidying the room while they’re still there etc. As it relates to second job, I recommend doing something that’s not as physically demanding as housekeeping. For Example: Cashier, Line Cook, Dishwasher etc
There’s the option of self-placement where you can find your own job. However, the agency has to approve. I’m some cases, you are presented with a list of jobs in different states to choose from.

Were you subject to 212e, a 2 year home-residency requirement, after you got the visa? or if u not sure look at the bottom of the J1 visa in your passport
Is there anyone going with HR elite for 2022?
You were in Tennessee!!!
No. Missouri
No way you worked in Pigeon Forge. Did you stay at Mill Creek? Man it was an experience
Nah. It was the Dixie Stampede in Missouri

Your sponsor has to approve of the employer.
Stepped into rooms with shxt on the bed and just bawl my eyes out🤦🏽♀️ ‘twas a terrible experience for me. But I worked really hard
Proud of you for sticking with it! You had your goals and you kept your eyes on them!

Hey. How was your experience? And what agency did you use?
U are strong no jk🎉🙏
I had to do what I had to do 🙏🏾
Hello there how are you doing, great video ,how do you look for J1 sponsors
Hey. I went through a work & travel agency, Global Insight
Wow I empathize with you. I had the worst experience of my life to date, do you mind speaking privately?
I don’t mind. You can send me a DM on IG @Kem.Gem
Dwl .. McDonald’s was the worst , with the exception of the free food at nights
Right 😂😂
Can we choose what positions we work? Like not to prepare meals
Yes, but that depends on availability.
You see the glory but you don't know the story!
💯💯
Dem see the glory and no know the story
It’s possible to choose a specific state to work in or it’s only based on where job is?
I wanna guess that jobs are in all 50 states

@@KemGem ayee sounds good
Which state did you went to. Watch is the location of your primary job.
I went to Missouri
I would love to know the agency you signed up with.
Global Insight
Thank you, would you recommend it to others?
Certainly! Customer Service is excellent!
Thank you alot I am looking forward to go but I want to know about a company before I register there. Enjoyed the video btw
@@colleenevans3629 did you go? How was it?
U get fi bring home food?
I’m assuming you mean from McDonalds. We didn’t get food to bring home, we got lunch/break. You can bring it home if you want.
The people that left that surprise never like you. Devil did a fight you hard
Bad bad. But I stayed solid 🙏🏾
