World and Local Finance and Work and Travel Students
Posted by admin on October 10, 2008 · Leave a Comment
Japan’s stock market falls almost 10% in one day; the DAX in Frankfurt fell almost 11% at one point and in Brazil the Reis is down 5% against the dollar. Here in the United States, where our stock market is down 40% from one year ago, the government is spending hundreds of billions of dollars to support our strained financial sector. But the local people are having problems too. On the radio the other day, I listened as a middle school teacher complained that while the wealthy people on Wall Street are getting all the money they need, schools are still being cut back. The radio announcer gave the caller an innovative suggestion. “You should try turning your school into a bank.”
Work and Travel Students for the winter
If you visit any ski resort in the United States during the winter ski season there is a very good chance you will have students from Argentina or Chile or Australia helping you onto the lift. Work and Travel is a popular program for international students and for American employers. If you are looking for winter employees give us a call and we may be able to help.
This week we have several positions at one of America’s largest water parks.

Wall Street’s Sneeze and Additional Working Visas
Posted by admin on September 21, 2008 · Leave a Comment
Dear Friends,
This past week Wall Street has rocked and the world has rolled. As the American stock market fell and the US government stepped in to support it, the stock markets of Hong Kong, Seoul and London bounced as well. The world is so interconnected now that, as they say in Japan, ‘If America sneezes we all catch a cold.”
Additional Working Visas
The recent financial turmoil is not a good thing for internationals hoping to get additional visas to work in the United States. With financial instability Americans feel less confident about their own employment and the government, listening to the fears of the American people, is less likely to approve additional working visas.
