About me:
52 year old Male from Darwin, Australia
Working with summer work-travel students from overseas has been an added bonus to my job as the business manager of a recreational resort here in Darwin..
Our international students and exchange workers have brought an added value to our organization. They are very charming people to be around and they bring a willingness and eagerness to please that is always exciting to have at the resort.
Our resort has hosted and employed summer-work travel students for the past four years in such diverse categories as food preparers, cashiers and outdoor instructors.
Our students and workers typically come from India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand. Their period of availability makes Asian immigrants the ideal participants for our resort.
My advice to any employer of international talents: keep your door open and be very proactive in solving their issues and it will be a breeze.
I take pride in knowing that many of the students and skilled workers who have participated in the hosting program together form lifelong friendships from their experience.
The immigrants don’t know each other before they come here and now month after month they get together in their home countries.
They make friends for life through this one-of-a-kind platform.
