Paid internship in Maldives
Paid internship in the Maldives may seem unrealistic and too good to be true. Due to its snow-white beaches and amazing clean ocean, the Maldives has attracted and continues to attract hundreds of thousands of tourists, so the hospitality industry needs staff (speaking different languages).
There are always several vacancies in hotels in the Maldives:
1. GRO (Guest relation officer) for the front office. The intern’s responsibilities will include meeting guests, advising on various issues: where guests can dine, where to book an excursion, how much hotel dry cleaning costs, and so on. In this case, the workplace is the lobby and reception area. Payment for this position: rate + service fee + tip.
2. GRO (Guest relation officer) for food service (Food&Beverage) and waiters. The responsibilities of an intern in this position will include greeting guests, advising guests on the menu, assisting with cleaning tables, and so on. Workplace: all hotel restaurants. Payment for this position: rate + service fee + tip.
3. Massage therapists. The duties include massage using several techniques (as a rule, employers are looking for employees with knowledge of at least two massage techniques: classical and Thai). Payment for this position: rate + service fee + tip.
4. Yoga teachers. Responsibilities will include both individual and group yoga classes to be provided to hotel guests. Payment for this position: rate + service fee.
5. Children's zone employees. For those who have teaching experience of no more than 2 years, the most likely option is the position of Kids club attendant, that is, an employee who monitors order in the children's area, the safety of equipment and general safety. Often he is also involved in the activities of the zone — games, master classes, events. A higher position is Kids club supervisor (experience strictly from 2 years). Here the intern is responsible for scheduling classes, performance of other employees at their shifts, solving all difficult cases that may occur in the zone, etc. Payment for this position: rate + service fee + tips.
Be prepared for the fact that the level of service standards in the Maldives is sky-high, and, therefore, the responsibility on the employees is very high. Work schedule is 6 days a week, 8-10 hours a day.

Maldivian employers usually offer accommodation in a staff house near the hotel. Two or three, in rare cases four, people can live in one room/room.
Hotels always provide free meals three times a day. In 99% of cases, this is a combination: breakfast on the buffet + lunch and dinner in the staff canteen.
All hotels provide two identical sets of uniforms: jacket, shirt, skirt/pants, shoes/clogs.
Please note that all hotels provide round trip tickets.
Some islands are not even one kilometer long. These are very small isolated areas. On your day off, you can take a diving lesson, do yoga, or go to a hotel restaurant with a colleague. But you won’t be able to go to a large gallery, nightclub or listen to a lecture by a famous professor in the Maldives. Therefore, if you are a city person, then you will be bored in the Maldives; this must be taken into account when choosing a program.
If you are ready to pay 100% of the registration fee to the provider at the very beginning of work, its amount will be reduced by 2,000 rubles. In other cases, payment is made in parts.
