Expat FAQ


Do you have a general question on expatriation? FAQs give you answers to the most frequent questions: Find a Job.

How do I find a short-term job / a seasonal work?

Many people look for short-term or seasonal work to make money during the summer months, provide easy access to work experience, or transition to expat life in a new country. Common sectors include:

  • Agriculture
  • Retail
  • Service Jobs (hotels, bars, cafés, resorts, and restaurants)
  • Resorts, campsites, caravan and holiday parks
  • Foreign Language Instructor

Some positions provide accommodations, transportation, and meals.

When to Apply

The warm months provide the best opportunities for most jobs, and the most competition. To find a position, it is best to start early. On the other hand, if you are looking for snow resort jobs look during the cold weather months.
