Whoa. The first time I've heard about Bunac being mentioned publicly. Nobody seems to know who they are. This is the same organization I joined to work legally in the UK for six months in '89. But most of the jobs people end up finding the fastest were bartending at pubs and temp/clerical work. Not very good resume fodder - and not a single stupid employer after coming home seemed to give a hoot about what I did when I was over there. Just a lot of head-scratching or reactions like: 'Uh, but . . . why?'

The time over there was a great personal experience overall, nonetheless. Do it again in a hearbeat. Can someone offer me a job in Russia - or anywhere in Europe so I can get the h*ll out of here?
