Published by Peterson's Guides in America, this is a guide to short-term work in the US. The book is designed, primarily, for students and graduates to enable them to get on-the-job training for a possible future career by acquiring the skills, ability and experience that can only be obtained by a genuine period of work with an established organization. 38,000 career-orientated positions in the US are listed in fields ranging from business to the theatre, and communications to science. Many are open to British students and the book explains when, where and how to apply for both positions and work permits.
