Work and Travel USA Summer 2007
i got an email from speedwing the other day and..... WOAHOO!!! i'm selected as one of the helpers for the WAT road show this year!! hahaha. happy. it was hard because our PKD people were all so enthusiastic in signing up... and they would probably only take like 3-4 people from each employer... but there was probably 10 over of us who signed up the other day so... it was quite unlikely to get selected but i still did. haha i guess it was because i sent some pictures to them... and the fact that i was so vocal and enthusiastic during the feedback session.but i must say that they've made the right choice in choosing me because i'm so enthusiastic over this!! hahahaha! i think i can be their like poster girl or something... and give testimonials and all. lolz. serious... no kidding man! haha. and now i've been talking all about my experiences in this program in my entire blog! and now i'm gonna help publicize the roadshow event... haha... free publicity for them okay... they can like save on the flyers printed etc etc... all the costs involved in advertising!
anyhows, they will be having talks at the three universities so here are the details:
1) Singapore Management University
Date: Friday, 29 Sep 2006
Venue: Lee Kong Chian School of Business, Seminar Room (SR) 2.1.
Time: 3.30pm
2) Nanyang Technological University
Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2006
Venue: LCK Lecture Theatre (MLT), South Spine, Basement 1
Time: 6.30pm
3) National University of Singapore
Date: Fri, 6 Oct 2006
Venue: Alumni House, Saffron Hall
Time: 6.30pm
and if you are really interested, you have to come down for the roadshow that i'll be working at! haha... the representatives from various employers would be there. so lotsa americans. haha how exciting. and i get to like earn 60 bucks from working there... from 8am-6pm. lolz. not alot but that's not the point of me wanting to work there... it's because i think it's gonna be fun.
oh and before you go down, you can view various information about the different employers from http://www.ciee.org/hiring07/speedwing where there's one photo of me under Paramount Kings Dominion~! hahaha. and from there you could choose one and log on to http://www.speedwing.org to register before you come down. i personally am okay with PKD although the americans hate it. my trip was fun so... it's up to each individual. i think no matter where you go there's always pros and cons so it's best to ask around and see which one fulfils your needs the most. i deficited about SGD$3000... so basically what i earned was only almost enough to cover for my program fees, air tickets and lodging. and well, nobody broke even so yeah... you could if you don't go travelling at all... but it defeats the whole purpose la. and so wells, i think i'm the pretty average but it all depends on each individual. and well, do be prepared to do lotsa administrative stuff before you go... but i guess it's the same for any program as long as you are planning a trip overseas for some period of time.
here are the details as below:
Work and Travel USA Summer 2007 Roadshow
