Passports


Do you have a passport already?  Will it expire anytime soon?  Do you need a new passport?

If you already have a passport, make sure it won't expire before you leave or fly back.  Passports issued to someone 16 years old or over expires after 10 years.  If you need a new one, passport processing takes at least 6 to 8 weeks, and even longer before the summer travel season begins.

Visit the US Department of State to renew or apply for your first passport.  There are forms to fill out and things to mail in.  The good news is you can do it all online and through the USPS.  Here is a link to more passport info with USPS.

Another good idea is to take a scan of your passport and send one to someone you trust in the US and have another with you.  If you lose your passport or it's stolen, it'll be quicker to replace it if you have this info.

What to expect the first day of work in a foreign country where you have to speak French all day?  Treat it like any other "first day on the job." Show up on time. Leave the dorms in plenty of time to get there on the first day so you know how long it'll take you to get to work for the rest of your stay. Dress professionally. Business casual Refresh yourself on how to introduce yourself and make small talk.
