INFORMACJE DLA UCZESTNIKA

HOW TO APPLY:
All applicants should enter their resume online at
http://www.americanhospitalityacademy.com/signup-int.php

APPLICATION DEADLINE
AHA host properties hire throughout the year, therefore there is not an application deadline. As soon as a hotel informs
AHA of an opening, we begin sending resumes to the hotel from our data base, therefore positions do fill quickly - but new
opportunities become available weekly. If your application is not already in the AHA data base, it is important to mention the
positions may be filled by the time the AHA process is complete. Therefore, please view this list to learn the type of
positions available, hotels and locations. We encourage participants to be open to location, but also express their
expectations, for example "would love to be placed at a major chain hotel", "would like a city location" "seeking a
placement in Florida". When requests become to specific, it does become more difficult and the special request fee applies.

RATES OF PAY, HOUSING AND TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION
Providing information regarding pay rate, housing and transportation is difficult because each hotel varies based
on the cost of living in the area, however the following outline will give you an average. Prior to an interview, host
details including pay rate, housing and transportation are outlined.

Cost of Employee Housing
The majority of our host properties who do not offer their own employee housing provide 2 weeks accommodation at
no cost, then the participant is expected to find their own housing. Prior to arrival the host property and participant is
in communication and the host property manager sends the participant information about apartments and roommates
in order for the participant to begin securing housing before they arrive.

The majority of our participants share bedrooms (in most cases, this is required when the host property offers their
own employee housing). On average, a participant can expect to pay $300 - $400 per month on shared housing.
Some locations will be less, some more - but this is also reflected in the rate of pay (in areas of higher cost of living,
hotels pay more).

If a property does not offer their own employee housing, the participant should be ready to pay a security deposit,
first month and sometimes last month when signing an apartment rental lease. Typically, the security deposit is
100% refundable as long as the terms of the lease have been met and the apartment is returned in the same
condition as it was rented. Security deposit is normally equal to one months' rent, sometimes lower.

Rates of Pay
The following rates of pay are an average:

Food and Beverage: The majority of these positions are tipped. Participants can expect to receive a lower
hourly rate, and be permitted to keep the tips they received. In this scenario, a participant can expect to
earn $9.00 - $11.00 per hour (with hourly rate and tips combined), on busy shifts, participants can expect
to earn much more than this.

Culinary: Average rate of pay $9.00 - $10.00 per hour.

Front Office: Average rate of pay $9.00 - $10.00 per hour

Housekeeping Supervisor - average rate of pay $8.50 - $9.50 per hour

Number of Hours per Week
J1 regulations require the number of hours per week to be a minimum of 32 hours per week.
There may be a few times the hours fall below this, but the majority of the time the participant should be scheduled
over 32 hours per week. If a participant works more than 40 hours per week, overtime laws apply and the
participant must receive their hourly rate plus one half for every hour worked over 40. In the event a participant
falls below 32 hours per week on a consistent basis, AHA must be contacted immediately so we may
help resolve with the host.

Travel Cost
Transportation to and from daily work schedule is the responsibility of the participant. Most of the participants
live close to the hotel so they are able to walk, ride a bicycle or take public transportation.

Transportation from airport to hotel is the responsibility of the participant - in most cases the hotel will
assist in organizing and in some cases assists with the cost.

Air Transportation is the responsibility of the participant.
