  1. At the airport.... it is a long drive to Mexico and an impossibly long swim to Hawaii.  Bring your passport and some cash.  You are going to need some cash.... not Loonies, either.  Good hard greenbacks.

    Do you speak Spanish?  If you want to live in Mexico you are gonna need to speak Spanish.


  2. which place give you the highest salary..and provide the best facilities for you

  3. You're competing with the natives for those jobs and don't have job skills that the employer can't find locally.

  4. It is true that it may be difficult to secure regular full-time employment in either the United States or Mexico unless you are a citizen or legal resident. The immigration laws of both countries seem to only allow foreigners to work in the country if they are performing a particular job with a particular skill that few  of its own citizens could perform with equal proficiency. Given that resort jobs are not particularly high-tech or technical in nature, it would be difficult to make the case that a hotel or resort really "needed" to hire someone from another country such as yourself. Perhaps you could work there if you have upper-level management experience in the hospitality industry or are already employed by a hotel chain with hotels in Hawaii or Mexico, but otherwise it may be difficult. The only other option---and I am unaware of your background---is to do some searching online for organizations that organize internships abroad. Many do so for college students who want to work temporarily in another country, and sometimes these internships are in the hospitality and tourism industries. However, these internships may be paid very little or not at all, and I not sure if you are merely wanting to get to Hawaii or Mexico temporarily for the experience or if you are wanting to make this a more long-term career move. If you are looking long term, start by getting employment with a hotel company in Canada and work your way up the ladder until you can see if there are any opportunities to be transferred abroad. And yes, as another has said, if you want to work in Mexico you may need to be proficient in Spanish.
