Independent or Placement Option
 

 

Important announcement for new applicants! For the summer of 2010, we can no longer accept Placement WEUSA applications – due to the fact that likely we can not place. We can still accept Independent applications until 25th April, 2010 or until further notice. So, if you have a job in the States or you are confident you can find one - apply NOW, don't miss out!

 

Ez a program olyan tapasztaltabb diákok számára jött létre, akik szeretnének az Egyesült Államokban dolgozni, de nem feltétlenül gyerekekkel.
Hotelekben, üdülőhelyeken, nemzeti parkokban és más olyan helyen dolgoznak - gyakran nemzetközi személyzetben - ahol idénymunkára van szükség.
Ha ezt a programot választod, fizetésként legalább az amerikai minimum órabért kapod, a szállásról és étkezésről magadnak kell gondoskodni, a szabadidődben pedig azt csinálsz, amihez kedved van. Összesen akár négy hónapig is dolgozhatsz legálisan az Egyesült Államokban.


Jelentkezz minél előbb, hogy meglegyen a teljes jelentkezésed, és mihamarabb el tudjuk kezdeni a vízumigénylésed! (A nagykövetségi vízuminterjú-helyeink végesek.)

Preferred Placement Option Program - 2010!!!

If you are interested in working in the United States this summer, but are worried about how to find a job in these tough economic times, CCUSA has the answer for you!

Introducing our new Preferred Placement Option Program - an easier way to find the job you want with the company you want, all BEFORE you even sign up for the program. The Preferred Option allows you to look through all the Placement Employers, and see which jobs are currently available, how much they pay per hour, if employee housing is available, and what other requirement there might be. Once you have found the jobs you want, all you need to do is complete the on-line Work Experience USA application form, have a short interview (either in our Budapest office, or with one of our trained Area Representatives located throughout the country), pay your fees, and you are on your way to having the best summer of your life!

This Job List is updated weekly, as the jobs and companies change all the time. So the faster you complete your application, the better your chances of getting the job you want.

For further information please read:

Preferred Placement Option Guidelines

Apply by 1st March for the Placement option and CCUSA will find you an Employer in the US which also provides housing for the summer. Placements are based on English level and previous work experience, so for this option you need to speak good English and have had at least 2 previous jobs - preferably in the tourism/hospitality area.

And as a sample, here are the details of one of our best Employers:

Cedar Point Amusement Park from Sandusky, Ohio.

They hire 1000+ (!) international staff every year and the details show all the positions, wages, rules, benefits, and housing details. So they have plenty of spots available!
(You can access all the employer details through footprints once you have been accepted to the Work Experience USA Placement option.)

... or You like to be Independent?

If you apply to the WEUSA Independent option, you can find your own job for the summer. For this we provide the CCUSA Job Search database, but you can also look for jobs on the internet or through your friends.
In our Job Search Database you can search employers by location and job category as well, just as it shows on the picture below.

The number of available jobs are always changing, because of the continous recruitment. For more information about the WEUSA Independent option click here.
