Definition of a Working Holiday
Based on existing policy, a Working Holiday
visa holder may work no more than three months for one single employer in New
Zealand. Some of the potential work places that require such short-term or
seasonal help include farms, vegetable packaging plants, motels and
restaurants.
The good news is: short-term jobs in New
Zealand are relatively easy to find if you aren't too picky. The local dailies,
notice boards in supermarkets and motels as well as job search websites and
companies are all good places to start. Take note, however, that jobs can be
scarce in winter, between July and September.
Generally, people on Working Holiday visas
can be separated into two main categories, namely: (i) those seeking work to
earn and save money; and (ii) those seeking work to finance their holidays in
New Zealand. Depending on which category you fall under, you my wish to adopt a
different approach.
For people seeking work to earn and save
money, consider:
• Indoor work, so your work hours are
not affected by the weather.
• Jobs in smaller townships, which
tend to offer more stability compared to the big cities as labour can be hard
to find.
• Jobs in cafes, restaurants and
supermarkets, which compromise lower pay with long, stable hours.
