My J1 Work and Travel Experience 2022! | Jamaica
In this video, i detail exactly what my work and travel experience was like for my first time ever being on the programme ... let's just say it was ... interesting to say the least :)
Aleesha’s WonderWorks video: • Video
P.S. I didn’t make it clear but at both of my jobs, I got dedicated breaks (i.e. at Walmart & Krispy Kreme); only job i didn’ get a break on and which Aleesha and I subsequently left, is Papa John’s. If there was any confusion i hope it’s clearer now :)

Thank god that my son is now in the USA Airforce! I’ve been through the same b.s back in the seventies after graduation from high school in New York and saw my two too kids wanted to be independent after graduation 👩🎓 from from high school went through the same things. Those people (employers) take advantage of young people. My daughter worked for some of the biggest clothing department stores also my son here in Florida but never with Walmart. As a medical student! Try to see if you can get into a program by working at a hospital whenever you can when you’re here in the USA.

Thanks for this video! I switched to PT for this semester and I'm a full time freelancer but I've always wanted to go on work and travel :( plus I saved up a lot for the program. Idk how I'd go on the trip at this rate. Which program did you go with?

I started my second job like probably a week and a half after I got there. And I got my SSN after like a month. I started my second job without my SSN because it was one of the few that would hire me without the SSN.

Just had to look in the area that my primary job was located in for other jobs that were hiring and I applied to them. I went with Krispy Kreme, showed them some documents and started working there. Honestly, you should run it by your sponsor and let them approve your second job before you start working there tho

@@tibbysclassic5951 first you'll have to find a reputable work and travel agency that is affordable and that you think is good. next, register with that agency. then, begin paying off your program fee. while you're paying off the program fee, the agency will give you access to a job list with all the jobs that their partnering sponsors are offering this year, and also allow you to upload all the necessary documents that they require. by the time you finish paying off the program fee, you'll receive ur work permit, then will possibly have to do a job interview, then do the embassy interview to get ur j1 visa and after all that ... you're ready to fly out in May

It's interesting fr ... I guess it's cause we get to pick, choose and refuse even after starting to work there - if we don't like the second job we can just leave and find a new one 😂 but we really don't have that luxury when it comes to the first job

I’d recommend SWAT tbh but that’s because they’re the only one I have experience with and my experience with them was a good one. It’s good to ask around tho because SWAT is not the most affordable nor is it the end all be all
