I'm trying to find a way to work in New York - I'm there a few times a year on holiday, and would really like to work when I'm there to make some extra cash. Only problem is - I'm not a US citizen!!
I have both British and Canadian citizenship, and I'm wondering if any of you girls know how to do this by getting a visa? From the research I've done, it looks like you can only get visas to work "seasonal jobs", for which you need a job lined up, and which only covers serving, bartending, etc. Other than that, there seem to be specialist professional visas (don't think I can fit THAT category) or a visa gained through a company sponsoring you to work for them. None of these would allow me to work in a club, but there HAS to be a way...
Ideas? Have any of you done this?
Failing all of the above - New Yorkers - do you know of any clubs that do not check whether or not you can legally work in that country?

...cause I can totally afford to work for free without a part time job and live there for 3 months...pssssshhhhhh. Why is the US so paranoid about foreigners taking their jobs? I guess I just don't understand having grown up in a part of canada where a great % of the working population is foreign and just assume that that's the norm...I think I'll try London or Paris instead in that case, I read about the "youth mobility" visa or something and it sounds great!
