Work and Travel program is becoming more and more popular for university and graduate students. We have a few golden recommendations for students who meet the conditions of participation in the program and get their visa, let’s talk about them a little bit.
Early registration is of great importance for the participants of the work and travel program. Students who register early will be more advantageous in choosing a job and state in direct proportion to their English level. At the same time, due to early registration, they will benefit from more affordable program fees than students who register at a later date.
Of course, we cannot delay the documents requested by the agency we work for, just because we registered early. We must forward all the documents requested from us and that we need to prepare in this process, on the dates requested by our company.
We registered early, of course, the subject we need to pay attention to is the choice of state and job, choice of state is very important for the student to work happily and adapt to the destination comfortably. While making this choice, the cost of living, social activities, the possibility of finding a second job and public transportation opportunities in the province to be visited should be investigated very well. As for the job selection, although we go to work on a semester basis, the job we will do is very important for us to start and end the program happily. We should make this choice by thinking very well together with our consultant, taking into account our personal characteristics and language level.
Another factor that we should pay attention to is the time difference. The United States should use 4 different time zones at the same time due to its geographical size. For this reason, before we go to the USA, we should pay attention to the time difference between the region we will work in and Turkey, and we should make our plans both before and after we go.
We have completed all our preparations and our adventure in America has started, but if we are to answer the question of what we need to pay attention to there, of course, we need to keep our passport and DS 2019 working document very well. Of course, losing these two documents is not the end of the world, but we still need to keep them very well to avoid problems. In addition, in the United States, it will manage you throughout your program, that is, for months, and you have to protect your suitcase, which contains all your belongings, in the same way, losing it will put you in serious financial damage. Finally, we would like to mention that you should call 911 without hesitation in case of an emergency. As a foreigner, you are going to a country whose culture you do not know, and you can be sure that the measures to be taken against a dangerous situation will be different from those in Turkey. We hope you will never encounter such a situation, but if you do, never hesitate to call.
