Now in paperback! The purpose of this unique and multifaceted reference book is to offer the shortest and quickest way of locating educational resources for learning languages other than English, and for identifying prospective American and foreign employers interested in hiring American professionals and paraprofessionals with foreign language skills. This second (revised and enlarged) edition includes over 300 more items than the previous edition, and also updated (changed of addresses, deletions, inactivities) hundreds of items affecting virtually all sections of the book.

It lists over 3,800 annotated items (national and international institutions, firms, organizations, etc.), covers over 300 languages, and will prove an invaluable tool to reference librarians, teachers, students, and various other researchers, as well as to job hunters, including immigrants from different countries willing to use their language skills on the job market.

With reminders and recommendations for successful job hunting, selected bibliography, and indexes for language, educational background, and geographic names.
