This is a handbook for anyone planning to work in the US, whether on a short-term vacation assignment, on secondment or contract, or on a permanent basis. This updated edition helps the reader to make it a reality by explaining the work possibilities open to a non-US citizen. Drawing on the experiences of individuals, companies and recruitment agencies, the book reveals the range of jobs available, the locations, pay and conditions and how to get hired. The book also provides up-to-date information on US immigration requirements, contact addresses and telephone numbers and the names of specialist journals for job hunters, professional organizations and trade unions.
