Optional Task: Summer Jobs in the USA (Meetings and Interviews)
Some of you might be interested to work in the USA during the summer. There are some organizations that help foreign students
from all over the world to find a summer job in the USA. Here is a list of websites which provide information
on some of these organizations. Some of you might want to read these sites and then work as ‘local agents’ in Germany for an
organization offering summer jobs in the USA. You should be prepared to answer the questions asked by students interested in
working in the USA in the summer.
The rest of the class should prepare questions which you are going to ask the ‘local agent’.
