INTERN PLACEMENT SERVICES
MARBELLA, SPAIN
Live and Work on the Costa del Sol in Marbella, Spain.
Limited Spots Available!
"In Marbella, we can place up to 5 interns each year working in a Hotel
there -- the months of availability for this work assignment are April
through to November only.
For this program, you will arrive in Madrid and take your first two weeks of
Intensive Spanish classes there first. Then, on the weekend after your
classes end, you will take the train into Marbella. There you will be met
and taken directly to your work assignment at the Hotel, which is also
where you will be living. Your Internship will start that third Monday.
For this program, your Adelante Director will be in Madrid. You will have
regular contact with her via email, however she will not be "on-site" as she
is based out of Madrid. You will have an Intern Supervisor based out of the
Hotel for daily interactions as needed.
This is a very international, young and BUSY work environment. Shifts are
for 7 hours each day, with a half hour break. All meals plus laundry and
cleaning services are included (candidates actually live at the Hotel in a
double-room with other international or American interns, for the duration
of their program). There will be other international interns working there
too from Germany, Sweden, Italy, etc.
Candidates with Tourism backgrounds will fare best here, however we have
placed candidates from Marketing and Social Sciences and even Psychology and
all have truly enjoyed themselves and learned quite a bit. One thing: you
MUST be an outgoing person to have success in this placement! Another
thing: your Spanish will improve immensely while in this placement, too!
Your duties will include any and all interaction with guests, not limited
to: guest registration via computer and check-in and check-out; directing
guests to their rooms and showing them the Hotel facilities; making change
for guests; selling towels, phone cards, meal tickets, locker tokens;
answering questions about the Hotel and Marbella in general; handing out
sports equipment / games; counting the cash drawer and filing registration
and other forms; typing and printing the Menu of the Day...to give you some
examples! You will be able to answer the phones if your Spanish skills are
up to it.
The Hotel is on a small hill (don't bring high heeled shoes for work!) in
beautiful resort-town Marbella. There is a grocery store, ATM, Post Office
and bank very close by. There is a bus station about 3 minutes walk from
the Hotel, and most all travel is done using public transport: either
taking the bus directly or heading into Malaga and catching a train for
longer trips. Night life in Marbella is famous: plenty of places to go -
same for shopping, plays and other activities.

"Due to the drastic drop in the exchange rate (see CNN article entitled
"Dollar Hits All-time Low Vs. Euro"), we have had to increase some of our
program fees. Some we raised just a bit, while others we did not raise at
all (such as our 3 month program). Thank you for understanding.
