Seasonal work abroad. Seasonal work abroad - travel and earn or spend and return poor? Seasonal work in Finland

Today BusinessTimes publishes the latest story about seasonal work abroad. In our next materials, you can read about the countries where it is best for Russians to go for seasonal work, about visa issues related to this type of income, as well as about possible options for seasonal employment.

My story began in the Czech Republic, in Prague. I was looking for some work for the summer in Prague, but I couldn't find anything. And then I came up with the idea to look for work in some other country. I decided to travel and work in New Zealand. Why exactly there? Because one day, when I was little, I met people in the Czech Republic who emigrated to New Zealand during the communist era in our country, and they told me that New Zealand is a great country for hiking. I really enjoy this type of travel, and besides, I heard that there are many opportunities to find seasonal work in New Zealand. All these reasons together pushed me to make my dreams come true.

I started looking for information about the country and travel there, found out where and how I can get a visa and work permit. I found all the information on the Internet. The first step was to get a visa. The student agency helped me get a visa and buy tickets. I arrived in Auckland at the end of October.

I spent two days in Oakland getting my tax number and opening a bank account. Then I went to Taupo for a day and then went to Hastings. There were so many tourists there that I could not book any accommodation in this city. Had trouble finding an overnight stay but finally found one, albeit only for one night. The next day I went to the information center and they helped me find accommodation in Napier because Hastings was really crowded.

When I first came to Hasting, I read that there was an opportunity to get a job in the apple orchards picking apples. This work usually starts in November, but people told me that this year there was a frosty winter and the apple picking work will start later. I was told the same thing at Napier. Then I decided that traveling is better than waiting for work. A couple of days later I went to the Mahia peninsula, with two other guys from the Czech Republic.

I met these guys on the bus. And then we went together to Lake Waikaremoana. Very necessary information was given to us at the job search office in Whakatane. Their employee told us important things - and we went to TePuke to pick kiwi flowers there. We worked for a whole week in the kiwi tree garden. After this job, we went to Taupo to find something better, like housekeeping. It so happened that our first employer promised to send a salary to our bank accounts on the very next Wednesday, but did not send it. I spent about NZ$30 to call him, but all he said was "sorry, I always forget".

I decided to solve this problem through the Department of Labor - but I never received the money. Then I spent another week in Taupo asking everyone about work. All attempts to get settled failed. The most interesting adventure of those days was a trip around Lake Taupo and the road through a flock of sheep to one farm - but at that moment there was no work for men. In early December, I returned to Hastings and registered with the seasonal worker's office.

And just two hours later I received a text message with a phone in Thornhill - and so began my work in the vineyards. The vineyard had to be lifted and tied with wire. Between Christmas and New Year I went to Tongario on a hiking trip. After the New Year, there was again no work, but then the French, whom I met in the vineyards, suggested me a job in a kiwi garden near Cleve. The kiwi harvest was just beginning - but it lasted only five days. Then I worked in a plum orchard picking plums for two weeks. Since January 28, I and another friend of mine have been unemployed, trying to find something every day. But now it is not very easy, because the apple picking season will only start in mid-February.

Seasonal work abroad is an affordable way to legally find a job even without knowing the language, see the country and improve your financial situation.

But you need to be prepared for heavy physical exertion and know the local nuances of the law in order not to run into troubles that can lead to refusal of payment or wrongful dismissal, fines, failure to provide medical care or deportation.

The main types of seasonal work abroad

Temporary vacancies abroad are conditionally divided into several types:

1. In the tourism business:

Specialties:

hotel animators;
administrators;
guides;
tour guides;
translators;
diving, skiing, yoga instructors;
massage therapists;
dancers;
circus artists (acrobats, illusionists, jugglers);
maids;
waiters;
cooks;
bartenders;
helpers in the kitchen;
dishwashers;
souvenir sales managers;
drivers.

By seasons:

summer: sea resorts, urban tourist routes;
winter: hotels in the mountains; holidays and carnivals.

2. In supermarkets:

By work:

goods spreaders;
cleaners;
packers and packers.

During the summer, when the pressure from tourism increases, the owners retail chains and businesses are hiring additional employees.

Seasonality depends on the influx of tourists:

in coastal cities - a warm season;
in the Nordic countries - the period of the Christmas holidays;
in large cultural and historical centers - summer vacations, vacations or specific city holidays, such as beer festivals in Germany, the Venice Carnival in Italy and similar events.

3. In agriculture:

By type of work:

harvesters;
sorters;
packers;
drivers.

By products:

fruits and berries;
vegetables;
mushrooms;
meat or fish.

The season in this case depends on the agricultural cycle, the season, the climate.

Pros and cons

Advantages and disadvantages

The very principle of seasonality is an advantage for some, and a negative factor for others:

for people who do not have a permanent source of income - this is a minus;
for those who just want to earn money during the holidays or holidays - a plus.

The benefits also include:

a large number of offers;
acquaintance with the country and the prospect of finding a job on a permanent basis;
optional knowledge of the language with simultaneous practice in it;
low qualification requirements for many areas of activity;
possibility:
official employment for a period of 3 to 9 months;
obtaining a working multivisa;
employment planning throughout the year.

Among the shortcomings that can not only spoil the mood, but also undermine health:

heavy physical labor;
weak social security or lack thereof;
in the case of harvesting, work in open space and regardless of the weather, which can lead to colds, radiculitis, osteochondrosis, joint diseases;
daily schedule for 12-16 hours;
limited rest time;
strict production standards;
requirements for the presentation of fruits and berries;
fines for poor quality of collected and packaged products;
high expenses for accommodation and meals that can exceed earnings;
danger of being kidnapped and enslaved.

Important! Before signing an employment agreement, it is advisable to carefully read all of its clauses, especially those with small print. You need to soberly assess your capabilities for compliance with the proposed conditions.

Although seasonal work may not require high professionalism, you need to have some knowledge in the legal field, for which you should not only carefully read the contract, but also understand how it complies with the laws of the country where the vacancy is offered.

Knowledge of the administrative and criminal codes will not interfere, because even if everything goes well with the work, general violations can lead to punitive sanctions and deportation. The mark about it will become an obstacle for visiting other states of the Schengen zone within five years. You should not break the laws and participate in dubious adventures.

Registration of the relevant entry document. If a vacancy is offered with the condition of having a guest, student or tourist visa, this is a violation of the law. If there is a document authorizing labor activity, this will save you from deportation and other troubles.

If you intend to get a job through an intermediary, you need to make sure that the activity is legal by checking the license, where information should be present:

about the countries where it is allowed to recruit personnel;
from which states it can be recruited;
types of work and qualifications.

If the intermediary is a tour operator offering to get off for the cordon with a tourist visa, you need to change it.

Conclusion of a formal contract. For example, in Finland, a non-contractual verbal agreement is often offered. This can lead to deception regarding the calculations, and in the worst case, to coercion and even slavery.

You need to have the contact information of the embassy (consulate) in the country where you intend to work. Phone numbers and addresses of public human rights organizations that help in cases of human trafficking will also be useful. In critical situations, you need to contact the local police. You can not give your passport to either an intermediary or an employer, under any pretext.

You need to have photocopies of all documents with you and keep them in a secret place. If your passport is taken away, it will help to verify your identity at the consulate and law enforcement agencies.

It is advisable to try to independently contact the farmer or the head of the company, which will save on intermediary services.

What documents are needed

In order to get an official job, Russians need to have:

work visa for the term of the contract;
a passport with a validity period exceeding the time of stay in the country;
medical insurance;
contract of employment;
work permit (if required by law).

The most common seasonal vacancies

If you have just started looking for an answer to the question of how to find a job abroad for the summer season, first decide what exactly you want and can do. In 2020, the easiest jobs to find are:

trainer;
animator;
counselor at the camp;
cook;
packer;
seller-cashier;
cleaning woman;
auxiliary worker;
work in greenhouses;
maids, etc.

Knowledge of the language and historical data about the country will allow you to get a job as a guide. Tourist specialties are in demand on the coasts in summer, and in ski resorts in winter.

During the holiday season, shops and supermarkets are looking for additional labor to serve visitors. Administrations outlets, knowing that they will not find temporary workers in the right amount in their hometown, they place ads on foreign websites and in newspapers, they turn to companies that employ citizens from less prosperous countries for help.

Another area is caring for the sick, the elderly and young children. And also open vacancies in reserves and parks. Some organizations are looking for volunteers who provide accommodation and food. True, in most cases, wages are not provided.

In which countries can you find a job

Russians, citizens of Ukraine, the Republic of Belarus and other states of the post-Soviet space choose a number of areas for work. The choice is most often influenced by the reviews of compatriots who already have experience of foreign employment.

Often in certain countries certain professions are offered. For example, the easiest way is in the hotel or tourism business. Housemaids, receptionists, guides, animators and similar professions are in demand.

Our compatriots go to Spain and France for such jobs as:

harvesting;
hotel service;
service in amusement parks.

You can work in these areas from May to October.

There is a possibility during the summer. Here, foreigners are offered employment in agricultural land, on livestock farms, as well as in fisheries.

One of the popular destinations is Poland, where there are not enough workers in many areas. As in other former socialist countries, they are not the best by European standards, because the local population migrates to neighboring states Western Europe.

How much do they pay and what conditions do they offer

Whatever country you go to, and whatever vacancy you take, be it strawberry cultivation or animation, you will be paid much more than in similar specialties at home.

The minimum work rate per day is 8 hours. But this, if you're lucky. As a rule, our compatriots work at least 10 hours. In factories and agriculture up to 13 hours a day. Overtime, as well as going out on holidays and weekends, are paid more generously.

Some employers provide workers with accommodation and meals, as well as payment for round-trip travel. Others are just accommodation. Some do not care about where temporary workers will live and what they will eat.

It is better to inquire about this issue even before concluding an agreement, since housing and food abroad are more expensive than here, and with a high workload, you will have no time to think about buying food and cooking.
