⭐️The Average Week Of A Kids Rep

An average week could see you hosting three welcome meetings, selling excursions (a big supplement to your income), the odd trip to a doctor or hospital, says Lucy Corne, who once worked four months in Gran Canaria as a children’s rep.

Or you could be leading the way on an all night bar crawl, dancing in front of hundreds at the reps’ cabaret, guiding a boat trip or camel trek and dealing with a host of problems and complaints. You’re seen as a shoulder to cry on, a target for abuse, a saviour and a friend.

She says she would personally recommend being a kids’ rep – you have marginally fewer hours, slightly more pay (although less chance to top it up with sales) and the reward of a group of smiling children (of course, not good if you don’t like kids!). One night, when she close to leaving the job early having had the worst week ever, she was moping about at cabaret night, desperately trying not to cry when seven year old Daniel asked her to dance and said he would miss her once he’d gone home.

Pay: Not much.

Accommodation: Is included, so you have no bills to pay. Expect to live in a reasonable self catered holiday apartment – no five star hotels.

Other perks: Flights are also included, as is a transfer and allegedly an airport welcome! Cheap or, if you’re lucky, free drinks in local bars, free entrance to clubs. By far the greatest perk is walking around in your uniform and being left alone by those annoying folk who give out flyers for clubs and bars!

Red Tape

JAB is thrown together quickly on a shoestring and contains information and advertising that we believe is authentic and currently available. However, we recommend checking things out for yourselves, as we could be wrong about everything. We remind our readers that there are many scams on the internet aimed at people looking for work abroad, and suggest reading our Warnings, Safety and Spotting Scams pages.

Sorry

We waited until we had something more to send you than another email without any content, but we are sorry about the two ads we sent you last week. They were meant for the website only, but we forgot we’re an email newsletter, and when we publish a post, that tends to email everyone on our mailing list unless we specify otherwise.

We didn’t specify otherwise. Please accept this issue of JAB Extra as our way of apology. Feel free to call us dicks in the comments. We’ve added ‘DON’T SEND AS EMAIL’ to the headline of our draft for future Featured Jobs, so it shouldn’t happen again. Sorry.

⭐️Nine Things To Know Before Working On A Cruise Ship

AT SEA > Working Expat Sabrina spent a year working on cruise ships. While she loved her time working on ships, these nine things would have helped her set proper expectations of what it’s like to be a crew member.

⭐️Cruise Ship Staff Vs Crew

There are a lot of rules on ships, and this can be difficult to get used to, writes Emma Jones, who travelled to California, Mexico, Hawaii, Canada and Alaska with Royal Caribbean. She swam with dolphins, watched the sunrise in a volcano, surfed and snorkelled, went to Hollywood, saw glaciers and icebergs and got a fabulous tan.

“The two distinct categories are crew and staff. Crew refers to jobs such as waiters, bar staff, cleaners and maintenance. Whereas staff takes in casino, spa, entertainment and retail.

The crew are not allowed to be in passenger areas when they are not working and are restricted to socialising in crew areas. Staff however, can use passenger facilities such as the bars, nightclub and gym. The two groups even eat in different dining rooms. This segregation is strange to begin with, but you soon learn to accept that it is just the way it is. However, I had the privilege of being staff. If you are intending to go on as crew, this is a consideration.

The job I did, cruise staff, is an all encompassing role. You are basically there to make sure the guests have a good time, whether this is running sports activities, socialising at parties or dressing up for a theme night. In some ways, the diversity of the job is what makes it so good. It couldn’t be any less 9 to 5 and you don’t get bored as your schedule and duties are always changing. However, it can be this irregularity that becomes taxing, as you have to be prepared to work at any time, and schedules are liable to change at the last moment.

To be cruise staff it is almost impossible to have an off day, or if you do, you can’t show it. The guests don’t realise you only got four hours sleep last night or that you’ve worked every day for the past five months. For them, this is their only week onboard the ship, and they want you to be as excited and energetic as they are. You are there to be the life and soul of their cruise. This can be difficult, but if you are a bright and bubbly person at heart, then you soon get used to it and learn ways to deal with those days when you really don’t want to smile at anyone.”

⭐️Summer Camp USA Hiring Fairs

USA > BUNAC, Camp America, USA Summer Camp, Camp Leaders, and Americamp have all listed upcoming dates for hiring fairs, each one offering the chance to walk away with an American summer camp job arranged on the day. Camp Counselors USA, American Summers, InterExchange, CIEE, Camp Staff USA, Camp Connections, and Wild Packs are other organisations offering packaged services for landing a job and securing the necessary paperwork for working as a camp counsellor in the USA. Non UK nationals may need to visit versions of their websites tailored to their nationality.

Which of these is best will depend on factors personal to you, but advice and opinions can be found in the r/summercamp/ subreddit. There is the option to apply to a camp directly, too. Some will arrange visas themselves, but the reason for this could be that placement agencies won’t work with them, and employment cancellation could leave you stranded.

One tip we have shared before suggests applying directly to a camp that works with an agency already and, if they hire you, they can go through the direct hire process, and you may get paid more than when placed through an agency.
