Thanks to the Visa , finding work on the other side of the world has never been easier. And even more so with our Job Assistance service. From bartender to freelancer to seasonal jobs… the opportunities are numerous. Here's a closer look at 5 jobs that are perfect for working and traveling simultaneously.
Bartender/Waitress
If you're 30 or younger, obtaining a work visa in Canada, New Zealand, or Australia through the Working Holiday Visa is a breeze. One of the most sought-after jobs for Working Holiday Visa holders is that of bartender or waiter. Why? Because the high turnover inherent in these roles ensures a constant flow of opportunities. If you also have some prior experience, can provide excellent service, and aren't afraid of long hours, you'll easily find work in cities as well as in the more touristy areas of these three English-speaking Working Holiday Visa destinations.
Seasonal worker in a ski resort, in a seaside resort
A perfect job for working abroad is seasonal work. In winter sports resorts, like those we offer in Whistler, Canada, or Queenstown, New Zealand, there are excellent opportunities. These destinations are looking for seasonal workers year-round, especially during the winter season. In the summer, you can also consider Australia and its many sports, creating opportunities for seasonal work in beach resorts.
Fruit or vegetable picker
It's certainly not the most exciting job at first glance, but don't be fooled by preconceived notions. Once the day is over, it's not uncommon for the owner to offer you a drink or for the other pickers to gather and toast together. While sometimes tiring depending on the pace, this type of work will also allow you to meet Working Holiday Visa holders from all over the world with whom you can share your travel tips. From the vineyards of Marlborough, New Zealand's largest wine region, to fruit picking in many parts of Australia or more locally in Canada, if the experience appeals to you, you're sure to find an employer you can count on.
Freelance
Are you a freelancer? The Working Holiday Visa is perfect for you. In certain sectors where contact is now made solely by email or phone, it guarantees you can fully experience your work without losing your network. You can spend your holidays on the Gold Coast if you're near Brisbane, in the Coromandel Peninsula if you've chosen Auckland, New Zealand, or in Quebec if Toronto appeals to you more. With an internet connection, you have no limits; set your own hours and plan your work as you see fit.
Giving language lessons
You're going abroad to learn English, but did you know that your native language can also help you find work? French, Spanish, or Portuguese—certain languages are highly valued by students and professionals looking to do business with Europe. Giving private lessons in the evenings or during the day is a great way to earn some extra money… and then explore the area you're in. It's also a way to connect with locals and their culture.
