SeasonWorkers review:
SeasonWorkers is one of several job boards for people who want to work temporary jobs in resorts, lodges, summer camps and ski areas. However, where competitor sites CoolWorks, VagaJobs and Xanterra primarily offer work in the U.S., SeasonJobs specializes in finding jobs all over the world.
Thus, many of the advertised jobs are in Australia, Austria, Greece, France, Asia and the United Arab Emirates.
Notably, the jobs we found at SeasonWorkers were a bit more varied than listings on the other sites, too. That was both a positive and a negative.
Positives…and negatives
On the bright side, there were several professional-level jobs listed here, including full-time management positions.
However, the site also lists some volunteering, internship and cheap tourism trips disguised as job opportunities. One 12-month “work and travel” package to New Zealand, for instance, charges about $1,250 at today’s exchange rates. And you apparently need to find the work yourself. And a number of “training” courses are also advertised on the site, with the assurance that you’ll be better able to get that plum watersport job, if only you pay them to show you how.
In other words, you’ll need to be discriminating when looking at listings here.
That said, like the other seasonal job sites, this one has jobs that sound like a vacation — being a wind-surf instructor in Turkey, for instance. Or a ski instructor in Japan.
What you earn
Wages run the gamut from highly competitive to just room and board. Keep in mind that SeasonWorkers is merely a job board — not the final employer. It advertises open positions, but you apply separately to the companies that they recommend. Consequently, there were no relevant worker reviews.
Recommendations
If seasonal work appeals to you, you can find SeasonWorkers here. But thoroughly check out any employer you find here before taking a job. This is particularly important if that position involves overseas work. Never trust without also verifying the company’s reputation and reviews.
