To the agencies
It is necessary to observe the following simple rules, submitting the application for execution of job offers for your students even at the primary stage to prevent possible misunderstandings afterwards.
Filling of the application:
- Fill the students’ resumes following the example; try to avoid double spaces, repeated tabulations, inaccurate formatting, misspellings etc.
- By all means don’t leave the box ‘Work Experience’ empty; be sure to type in existing work experience in the services sector, such as: chambermaid in the hotel, fast-food kitchen working, waiter in the restaurant work experiences, etc. Specify the day duties of one or another position. This is the main section of the entire resumes, and the employer is primarily interested in it. That’s why you have to take its filling most seriously.
- Before uploading the photo on the website, make sure that it is cut in a proper way and it doesn’t contain anything unnecessary, like a large white area to the right and/or at the bottom of the student’s image and so on. The maximum size of the photo is 500 kb. Please, check out the sample photo.
- The dates of the beginning and the end of working of the nominee must display exactly real frames of working, not including the period which the student has decided to leave for travelling.
- If the application is being submitted for the group of inseparable friends for one and the same employer, you must be sure to group such students before submitting the application. This can be done via group operation ‘group/ungroup’.
- Please, specify which program sponsor's form of job offer must be used. If you haven’t found your sponsor in the offered list or if you have got a newer version of the form, than the one displayed in the section ‘Job offer forms’, please send us the form you have, and we will add it to the website.
- We strongly urge you to discuss all job offer details with the students, such as dwelling, remuneration, working conditions, kind of work, etc. If the student hasn’t taken all decisions yet, then please wait until the moment when the participant takes the final decision and then submit the application.
- If you submitted the application for a job offer, you have to wait for the official reply of the employer for the nominee’s candidacy. There must be no blowing hot and cold before the reply of the employer.
- If an error or inexactitude has been committed during the submission of the application, immediately contact the coordinator and describe the kernel of the problem. You can do it using ‘Feedback’, where you have to pick up the corresponding job id of the vacancy.
- It will not be possible to cancel the accepted application during 7 days after the moment of its submission, but it doesn’t mean that every application will be processing exactly for 7 days. Both less or more time may be needed – it all depends on the employer. On the average 2 weeks are needed for execution of job offer. The student is usually placed in a job after the 2nd or the 3rd attempt. If the employer gives negative answer earlier, we will return your application and the student will be able to apply for another vacancy.
- Please, maintain the constant contact and control of the situation.
Simultaneous applying for several positions
How to apply:- At Current orders section: tick off student’s resume.
- Copy a resume by pressing the button Copy selected resumes. You can find this button at the bottom, under the table for current positions.
- After that every received copy of resume should be send to separate positions.
Recommendations and additional information
- Apply students resume for several positions simultaneously only if all these positions are absolutely equal for the student.
- If student's resume is going to be sent to several positions, it is desirable to apply for those positions at the same time (day) so that the employers were on an equal footing and could have the same time to make a decision on hiring.
- Don't apply by no means for those positions that student doesn't like.
- If you see that the student likes one position more than the others, then apply for that position only.
- Students with very good resume (excellent English, worked in the USA already, has good video and stunning photos and so on) should be applied for only one desired for him position. If the student had no luck with one position, apply his resume for 2-3 equal from the point of view the student positions.
Attention! Applying student's resume for 2 and more positions simultaneously, you must accept the job offer that arrives first among the selected positions.
You must cancel all current applications for other position as soon as you got the first job offer. In order to do that, please email all appropriate coordinators.
In case after you get the first job offer and before you cancel all applications for other positions, arrives another job offer from the different employer, you will have to pay for that (second) job offer too.
Tip: In order to find all student's resumes in Current orders section, it is possible to use so called search function on the page which is present in all browsers. In order to do that use the CTRL + F keyboard shortcut and type students name or email into the Find Bar. You can also sort out students' applications by name or email address by clicking on column caption.
To avoid confusion please cancel copies of student’s resume after receiving the first job offer.

Free search

Then the job offer is being uploaded on the web site and the application moves to the executed applications section.
