Finding your dream J1 job can be easier than you think. After you apply for USA Summer Jobs, we’ll give you access to our ultimate J1 Jobs cheat sheet. Within our cheat sheet we have jobs that past J1 applicants have worked. These are jobs that we’ve vetted and even better, we have jobs in locations and states all across America! If it’s a job you like, you can simply apply directly to that employer. The beauty of our cheat sheet is, each year the jobs list keeps getting longer and longer! If you want a simple way to get your job in America sorted, this is all yours!
Remember this is a cultural exchange program. Your job should resemble seasonal work, which means it should be a job or location that requires summer staff because it will be busier. Of course you can’t work in locations that may be deemed as safety concerns.
Always be clear to employers that you are participating on the Work and Travel Program sponsored by a Department of State recognised Sponsoring Agency. You can tell an employer that your US Sponsor is authorized by the US Government to issue the necessary documentation for you to obtain a J1 visa, which allows you to work legally in the US for up to 4 months.
The most popular types of work usually are within hospitality, working in bars, restaurants or coffee shops in America. Hotels and Resorts are also very popular.
Some people like to work in Supermarkets, with a traditional 9-5 or a shift pattern. Others have found that Lifeguard Jobs, or sailing instructors, are the best for them. These involve spending all day every day in the beautiful outdoors in America.
Whichever you choose, we’re here to help you.
