Synopsis

Summer Jobs Abroad lists over 30,000 exciting seasonal vacancies in over fifty countries in Eastern and Western Europe, Africa, Asia, Australasia, and Central America. The book contains both an enormous range of paid jobs that give the opportunity to earn money while seeing the world and a wide variety of voluntary positions that enable participants to help others while gaining the unforgettable experience of living and working in another country.
Summer Jobs Abroad explains everything needed to land the summer job of a lifetime including:
>Where and what the jobs are, who to apply to, and when
>Details of the wages offered, if accommodations are provided
>The period of work and working hours
>What previous experience or qualifications (if any) are needed

The enormous range of opportunities in the book means that everyone can find a summer job to suit their own interests and abilities. Among those listed are the following:
>Surfing instructors for Spain and Portugal
>Apple pickers for Australia and mandarin pickers for New Zealand
>Chalet hosts and hostesses in the Italian Alps
>Volunteers to help run a gibbon sanctuary in Thailand
>Crew for flotilla sailing holidays in Greece, Turkey, and Croatia
>Leaders for adventure tours worldwide

In addition, the book's country-by-country chapters give an introductory overview of the range of jobs to be found there and include essential information on work permits, visas, and more.
