Hi! My name's Maria. I'm from Russia. I'm a participant of an exchange program Work and Travel. I like the USA very much and my dream is going there. I'd like to learn more about the culture, make new friends, see a lot of beautiful sights... Can anybody help me with looking for a job? I'm surfing the Internet all day long, but I can't find unfortunately. Do you know any employers in Chicago? (or in the other cities). My e-mail is [email]mperepecho@mail.ru[/email]
I will be very grateful to you.

We see these same requests every summer. The answer is he same. You need the student VISA that allows you to work, enough funds to support yourself for 90 days, a US sponsor, complete medical records, insurance, and a place to live.

Politically speaking, you probably won't get a VISA now as RU and US are not on friendly terms.

Employment possibilities are poor. Qualified unemployed Americans must be hired first. Unemployed Americans must be hired next. It is true of every job in America. If I were you, I would stay in Russia until the cold war thaws between our two countries.

Здравствуйте!

Chicago actually has the highest unemployment rate in the entire United States, so I'm not sure that you will find a job here. Can you tell me about the work and travel program? What kind of job are you looking for?

Here are few sites that you can try, but the employers will not want to talk to you until you can work legally in the United States. Have you looked into a student visa?

She might find many jobs, but she still MUST meet the basic requirements of funds, sponsor and proper VISA. And she still must understand Americans get first dibs. It is the law.

If no American is qualified, then she may or may not get the job if another is more qualified. She will compete with students from around the globe who may be better educated and speak better English.

The Wisconsin Dells is a seasonal vacation area about 300km northwest of Chicago. Last time I was up there I noticed that a lot of the workers were young Eastern European people, presumably there on the type of summer exchange work program you are describing.
