Temporary work abroad - suggestions?

[wiffmaster]

Morning,

I am a recent graduate and have been lucky enough to have obtained a law training contract to commence in two years' time - September 2014. From August 2013 onwards I will be enrolled on a professional course (LPC) in the UK. But, from now until then, I have time to kill.

I quite fancy working abroad for the year (or at least, part of it). I don't need a job that pays well or allows me to save - I just need something that covers my living expenses until I start my course/real job back here in the UK.

I was thinking 90 days in the USA on the visa-waiver programme, and then maybe 6 months in Beijing? Or maybe heading over to Australia for a while? Canada could be fun?

I'm open to suggestions as to what to do. I will consider pretty much any job in pretty much any part of the world (where I won't be killed). Also, if anybody knows of agencies/websites that specialise in advertising temporary jobs abroad for UK nationals, then please post them up.

Cheers.

Ski season? Lots of fun to be had!

Trust me, if I could ski, I would happily do just this! Although I suppose they'll probably still need workers other than ski instructors, so may be something to look in to.

A friend worked in a bar in Canada in a resort, loved it.

Interesting. Working in a ski bar for a few months would probably be a good laugh and you'd probably meet some interesting people.. Going to look into this a bit more - cheers.

Get yourself over to chaletsdirect.com

They have a forum and jobs appear in there. Otherwise try crystal ski or snowjobs.

Plenty of people go never having skied and pick it up eithe rtau by firends or a couple of classes. After all you will be there for 5 months so loads of time.
