After I came back from USA to my home country, Chile, I found a job right away and a great job, because I applied several of my new skills. After one year, I got promoted and I am sure that the Au Pair experience helped me to succeed.”

“I have graduated with my BA degree in journalism, and now I am an MA in British Cultural Studies. Being in the USA helped me a lot in order to understand how people from different cultures interact, how they see the world, and how their visions [and] language shape the world they see. It is just great. You get accustomed to work with people from all around the world, and that helps a lot in one’s professional life. I also work in TV, and it’s very helpful, because I have to communicate with people from all around the world.”

Elena, 2010 Work & Travel USA alumna from Romania
