Internship in the USA

Hello everyone,

I'm currently studying Print and Media technology at the Munic University of applied sciences. There are two internship terms scheduled in my study, I already completed the first one and now I'm looking for a company in the USA to complete the second one.
Maybe anyone of you fellow Footbagers can give me tips and hints about working in the USA, especially as an intern. Any help would be appreciate! Thanks

I honestly have no idea of exactly how to help you. But I will offer some advice. Try to figure out what area of the USA you want to work in, and then search for jobs that way. Try to make sure that you have a job before you come over here, because if you don't plan ahead you would be stuck without a job and that would be tough. Other than that, I don't know how to advise you.

Watch out for angry workers shooting up the offices!

Just kidding, but not really.

Just be social man. Make eye contact and smile at everyone. If they are approachable then they will return that same feeling of warmness. Check out some bars around the town to try and find some like minded people. Hang out with footbaggers who live in that area too. just be open to their culture. Not everyone is easy to associate with but there are tonnes of good people everywhere. Its funny because open and approachable seem to be drawn to each other. it has something to do with displaying positive silent indicators and picking up other people mirroring them.

As for work related I dont really know what to say except dont work too hard and end up doing everyone elses job like Harold from Harold and Kumar! Altho harold did get the last laugh in the end.... and the babe.

as long as you do your job and don't piss anyone off you'll be fine. It's that simple.

Thanks guys! Now I just have to find a company to work for

I consider myself a pretty open(minded) person and I have no problem in meeting new people. I'm just worried cause english is not my native language.

We think that's quaint. Ladies love a foreigner.
