holiday visa or working holiday visa???

Hi guys,

Firstly, are you speaking about a holiday visa or about a working holiday visa?

If it's a pure holiday visa you want be able to work anywhere with anybody as it's only a visa for an extended holiday and you don't have the right to work. You might find cash-in-hand job but they are illegal and you don't have any insurance or protection whatsoever if things go wrong.

If it's a working holiday visa your chances look much better. I know easyjet hires Australians on their working holiday visa for a years contract but easyjet does Assessment/interview days in Australia so they can be hired before they actually come and live over here. I personally don't see why they shouldn't do the same for US and Canadian citizens as long as they are no strange visa restrictions e.g. you are not permitted to work longer than three months for the same employer. They definitely don't do assessment days/interviews in the US/Canada so you would have to go through the whole process over here...which might make it a worthless exercise as the process can easily take between 3 and 6 months.

Try to contact the recruitment department. PM me if you need further help.
Good luck!
