BUNAC Work America 2015

Is anyone thinking about travelling to the West? Maybe Santa Monica? I'm applying to loads of restaurants and cafes for work and thinking of subletting UCLA student accommodation for the time I will be there. I have plans to hire a car and travel to Seattle after and then fly to New York and do that Philli and Washington DC after if anyone is interested?

Sounds like a good plan, have you heard anything back yet?

Also, does anyone know what the best time is to either resort to upgrading to the ultimate package or deciding to go without a job if you've heard nothing back?

They just say to either email CV's or come by when you get to Santa Monica... I love to be organised and freak out if I'm not, so I really wanna make sure I've got a job for the summer sorted with accommodation before I leave the UK.

I'm guessing you've heard nothing back from jobs you have applied too? Where about's are you wanting to work?

Not yet and anywhere really, preferably near a decent area like California, Illinois or NewJersey/New York

You heard anything? Had an interview or job offer?

From what I've been reading most jobs come out on the last week of January, I think. But no not really, I'm not going to panic because if they say to me you need to nip in with a CV to be able to get a job I'll just make sure I settle on a place (probably Cali.), get accommodation sorted and then fly out early to guarantee myself a job.

Hi guys, I haven't paid my £100 deposit yet - the only reason I want to pay is so that I can access the Job zone. I have heard a lot of people talking about the Job Zone being "tiny"? Can someone elaborate a little more on this?
Are there only 20 or so jobs, or is it just not broad enough in terms of type / location of employment?

Thanks in advance!

There is probably around 20 jobs currently on there. Most jobs in the East too. It is tiny, but the fact that BUNAC sort your CIEE document and J-1 Visa etc. is helpful. There is an event on in London at the beginning of next month where you can get hired on the spot, but you have to be on the ultimate package which is an extra £200 which I would do but I'm already having to budget for the trip as I'm using my student loan to fund all of this.

You will have to look for your own jobs. Which can be very difficult.

20 jobs?! thats awful haha
Yeah, my student loan is what's funding me aswell. Where are you looking at working? Im hoping Cali as a Lifeguard, but this is obviously really difficult!

Cali preferably but most probably will end up on the East coast and travel to Cali for a month after. There are some lifeguard jobs on the the job zone, try J1 jobs... Also you might just wanted to do a google search for some lifeguard jobs. I don't think many find a job till Feb. anyway so don't worry now too much.

Hey, I just paid my deposit for self placement, eep.

Does anyone know what the CIEE form is all about?

I'm starting to panic a little bit haha

Does anyone know if you can apply to BUNAC before you have actually started uni?
