Seasonal work
A seasonal job lasts a few months and often includes accommodation. The terms should be agreed before you set off.
Before you accept
- Ask how long the job lasts and when it starts.
- Ask about pay, working hours and days off.
- Ask whether accommodation and food are provided and who pays for them.
- Ask who pays for travel.
- Ask for all of that to be written in the contract.
What to bring
- Your personal documents and whatever the employer asks for to register you.
- Proof of the courses and licences the job requires.
During the season
- Keep a record of your working hours.
- Keep your contract and your payment confirmations.
- Sort out problems with your supervisor first, in writing if need be.
A good impression in one season often means an invitation for the next.
