Finding a Job
GeoVisions will work with you and our international partners to match you with one of the many positions and locations we have available.
There are several ways we will introduce you to a potential employer, using job and recruitment fairs for face-to-face interviews, or in most cases, a simple Skype interview will give you and the employer a great chance to meet and learn more about each other. In some cases, you may have found a position on your own, and we can assist you with obtaining the necessary Visa forms allowing you to come to the United States. In this situation, GeoVisions will serve as your sponsor, and we must approve the position, ensuring that it meets the Department of State requirements.
Jobs must meet the rules, regulations, and intent of the J-1 Exchange Visitor Program, which focuses on providing a cultural exchange experience
All jobs must allow adequate time to allow for cultural education and exploring U.S. communities and participating in activities and events
Jobs must be seasonal or temporary in nature
Jobs must provide a salary that meets the minimum wage regulations
Jobs must provide for your safety, well being, and protect your rights
