TYPES OF JOBS

TYPES OF JOBS

Labouring & Construction

Work can be weather dependent, so there’s always more in the summer periods than the winter. Most of the labouring and construction is in the central cities and if work is outside the city area, the company will usually provide transport to and from each work site.

Hospitality

The hospitality industry is a great place for travellers to get a job. Jobs range from hotel reception to bar work and waiting tables to kitchen work. Jobs in hospitality can generally be found in central cities and towns, which means travellers don't have to travel too far off the beaten track.

Office Work

Short and long-term office work varies enormously. Telesales professionals, bankers, IT support, graphic designers, clerks, accountants and personal assistants can be in huge demand at various times. A lot of travellers prefer this type of work, as it can be very flexible and is generally well paid.

Au Pair Or Nanny Work

Home help and au pair work is also great for those people who have had experience with children. It will give the traveller a chance to experience life as part of a New Zealand family and could even lead to a free holiday away with the family.

Farm Work

Farm work can also be provided if you’d like to experience life on a New Zealand farm. This can either be paid work or volunteer work in return for free lodging and food.
