You could certainly learn how the general syntax of the language and how things like prototyping and callbacks work.

Why limit it to a month though? Learn the basics, develop an understanding of how it works and then carry on learning as you go.

As for books: "JavaScript: The Good Parts" and "jQuery in Action" should help you out.

The fact is that I'm moving to another country after a month and it will help me to find a relevant job for me with the knowledge of JS. That's why I'm trying to learn JavaScript as soon as possible. Thanks for reference!

A month studying JavaScript and jQuery (lots of employers place specific emphasis on this) will give you a decent knowledge of the language. Definitely enough to put it on your resume and use it competently.
