It is also a good way to have new <strong>professional experiences<\/strong> and, why not, present yourself for a fixed-term contract that can lead to a permanent contract involving a <strong>work visa<\/strong>.

The purchase of the van and its fitting out made a <strong>dent<\/strong> in our purse, we looked quickly after a small job to <strong>bail out<\/strong> our funds. Once the IRD number and the bank account were operationals, it was enough to look for a job.<\/p>\n<h5><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-753 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lecoeurelephant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Kiwi-243x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"243\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.lecoeurelephant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Kiwi-243x300.png 243w, http:\/\/www.lecoeurelephant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Kiwi-649x800.png 649w, http:\/\/www.lecoeurelephant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Kiwi.png 652w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 243px) 100vw, 243px\" \/>Seasonal work<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Honestly, it was not <strong>complicated<\/strong>. Indeed, New Zealand has this peculiarity of being always, according to the season, in an <strong>agricultural<\/strong> production. We were lucky enough to arrive in the Bay of Plenty during the <strong>kiwi fruit<\/strong> season, but no matter, you can also find other products to be harvested throughout the year. Avocats, grapes, cherries, feijoas &#8230; There is only the embarrassment of the choice, just take the <strong>precaution<\/strong> to be in the right time at the right place.<\/p>\n<p>Some <strong>useful<\/strong> links, from our french website <a href=\"https:\/\/pvtistes.net\/\">pvtistes.net<\/a>, could help you to <strong>orient<\/strong> your moves during the trip:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em><a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https:\/\/pvtistes.net\/dossiers\/le-fruit-picking-et-le-travail-saisonnier-en-nouvelle-zelande\/\">Find work all year round\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><span style=\"color: #800000;\">The seasons on the <a href=\"https:\/\/pvtistes.net\/dossiers\/le-travail-saisonnier-pickingpacking-sur-lile-du-nord\/\">North Island<\/a><\/span><\/em>\u00a0\/ <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em><a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https:\/\/pvtistes.net\/dossiers\/le-travail-saisonnier-pickingpacking-sur-lile-du-sud\/\">the south island<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Our first experience<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>In our case, we showed up at the first &#8220;<strong>packhouse<\/strong>&#8221; that google maps offered us to know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trevelyan.co.nz\/\">TREVELYAN&#8217;S<\/a>. Located in Te Puke, we <strong>presented<\/strong> ourselves, on Saturday 29\/04\/17 and asked for a job. They just repondered to come to sign the contract in the <strong>office<\/strong> the next morning, that&#8217;s what we done. We came on the indicated time, signed our job <strong>contract<\/strong> and started the work just after the signature. For a first experiment in research, the task was not <strong>complicated<\/strong>. The season has last a month and a half for us. We worked in a rather <strong>erratic<\/strong> way, depending on the harvests of the pickeurs influenced by the climatic <strong>conditions<\/strong>. We had three good weeks, the others were not very <strong>glorious<\/strong> with quite a few days of work or not worked. Anyway, we were able to take <strong>advantage<\/strong> of these days to visit the surroundings but were sometimes clearly <strong>frustrated<\/strong> by being stuck on the spot for a job that did not pay enough, despite the economy of <strong>housing<\/strong> since we lived in the van. So stay <strong>on guard<\/strong>.<br \/>\nRegarding pay, we were always <strong>paid<\/strong> in due course, at the minimum wage. We had good days around the 10 hours of work, the worst stopped at 5 hours of work. In other words, some weeks were <strong>difficults<\/strong> for those who had to pay for an accomodation.<br \/>\nHowever, it was by working in this kind of context that we were able to make new <strong>beautiful encounters<\/strong> with many other backpackers from all over the <strong>world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-755 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lecoeurelephant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Trevelyans.jpg\" alt=\"Travail-trevelyan's\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.lecoeurelephant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Trevelyans.jpg 1000w, http:\/\/www.lecoeurelephant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Trevelyans-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.lecoeurelephant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Trevelyans-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">The others jobs<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>As in France, if you want to find other kinds of jobs, there are temporary <strong>employment<\/strong> agencies where you just have to present yourself with an English <strong>CV<\/strong>.<br \/>\nIt is also possible to find through <strong>ads<\/strong> in the newspapers, scorboard of <strong>supermarkets<\/strong> and backpackers.<br \/>\nYou can also visit some <strong>websites<\/strong> such as\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.backpackerboard.co.nz\/\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>backpackerboard<\/em><\/span><\/a>, or the facebook page of <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em><a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/480823782015631\/\">fran\u00e7ais en Nouvelle-Z\u00e9lande<\/a><\/em><\/span>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trademe.co.nz\/jobs\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>trademejobs<\/em><\/span><\/a>\u00a0etc. \u2026<\/p>\n<p>For the rest, it will be necessary to rely on your full chat during the <strong>interview<\/strong> or your skills and experiences for the most <strong>serious<\/strong> jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Now just get a start, with an elephant <strong>bravery<\/strong> !<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Working in WHV The goal of a working holiday visa is also to be able to work while traveling, a good compromise to continue to discover the country when you have no economy.
