APPLICATION DEADLINE

Host properties hire throughout the year, therefore there is not an application deadline.  As soon as a hotel informs InterLatina  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 InterLatina  data base, it is important to mention the positions may be filled by the time the InterLatina  process is complete.  Therefore, please view this list to learn the type of positions available, hotels and locations.

The Holiday pay is 8% (equivalent to 20 working days per year contract)

Cost of Housing

The majority of our host properties do not offer their own employee housing and the participant is expected to find their own housing.   Prior to arrival the AHA Placement partner and participant is in communication and the Placement Manager sends the participant information about housing options and visa processing in for the participant to begin securing housing before they arrive.

Number of Hours per Week

The average number of hours per week is 40 hours in high season and about 30 hours is low season, varying from location and position.

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 placement partner will assist in organizing and in some cases assists with the cost.

Air Transportation is the responsibility of the participant.
