I'm just wondering if anybody has any experience with the new J1 programme where you do an interview here and secure a job before you go? The jobs seem to be mostly available in resort-y type places...We have already registered interest and hope to be called to an interview but the fee is a few hundred more expensive than the regular J1...

Also, the places seem kind of boring!! I would love to go to Chicago but am afraid of not finding work...can anybody shed light on finding work/accomodation here? Travelling with a friend and we are both 26 so going more for a working holiday experience than a typical 'lets get wrecked all summer' J1 experience....(which does sound fun too, don't get me wrong!!)
