问题详情:
Every summer and winter vacation, youth hotels hire volunteers in large numbers to serve as receptionists, clean rooms and wash dishes. In exchange, the hotels offer accommodation and meals. There is no salary,but the job only requires you to work half a day every day, which means you can spend the rest doing whatever you have in mind. This business model is called “volunteer travel”.
According to Xia Shang, a founder of an online platform for volunteer travel, there are an average of 100 resumes (简历) being handed in every day. Over 90 percent of them are from college students, which explains why the number rises sharply during summer and winter vacations. “The post-1990 generation was born with ‘sociable’ characteristics. They have a desire to thoroughly explore a place, instead of making a hurried sightseeing trip,” said Xia. “Economic factors also play a part. Even students from well-off families may prefer volunteer travel because they want to be independent from their parents’ financial support.”
It’s not easy to apply for a position as a volunteer traveler. You need an appealing resume to stand out from the large number of applicants. Last year, Li Cheng, a college student, sent 10 resumes before she got one reply from a hotel in Xiamen. In fact, most hotels require that applicants speak standard Mandarin, in addition to being outgoing. Cooking and English skills are optional, but having them will undoubtedly give you an upper hand.
Even though Li had little choice in her destination, her one-month stay in Xiamen was still an unforgettable experience. Li said that volunteer travel is all about slowing down to get to know the people and places in a city.
