Well, if you have any shop or tech experience, these guys are always looking for staff, mainly because no local wants to work for the grumpy owner!
But you'd hardly ever see him and work over the winter will be super easy. I was stoked to finally get an open work permit again so I could leave, but it was a means to an end.
The only shop experience I have is a uni summer holidays spent working Tesco night shifts, and I can only do simple repair stuff on my own bike 😆 There are normal dishwasher, bar staff type jobs about on craigslist, Pique etc, I've just only had 1 call back/interview so far! Ideally I would get a job doing what I did back home (video editor and some graphics design) but those jobs are few and far between. The tv/film/media Vancouver craigslist is full of people looking for adult film actresses 😆
thank you all for yourd advice. please keep it coming. it all helps. very envious of all of you who are there now and are also doing a winter season. living the dream or what!!
Tom_ did you find more work or did you have to come back? Any tips you can pass along? I'm in the process of applying for the visa at the moment with the plan to head out at the start of next November?
probably a bit late in the day but my nephew did this in the summer of '11.
Booked for 3 months and came back after 6 weeks (lovesick we think).
Spesh demo was too much for the trails. He is now getting a bottlerocket.
Bashed his elbow after 4 days (vanity prevented him using elbow pads) so off the bike for two weeks. Couldn't afford to see doc so get insurance.
Cant drink 'till you are 21 (quite strict with this too)
Cheese is very expensive.
