My good friend Leslie is wandering around Europe somewhere with little money and in desperate need of a job! If anyone has good advice, destinations, contacts... She has already worked in the ilse of sky and left, perhaps to Greece...

Katers,

Hmmm....not much money and floating around Europe...Is your friend a American?

Ideas...

Get a job at a Hostel...many of the hostels need casual work and they ususally give free room and board along with that. A good way to stay away and not spend much money at all.
Usually there is enough time to also get another job so she can save if needed.

Think tourist areas and what need employers might have. Tourist time in Europe is approaching rapidly. Lots of Festivals...I know come August she could definately get a job in Edinburgh for the month for the festival, but that is a bit away yet.

If she is near London, pick up a TnT mag....loads of job listing there.

Pubs...they are usually in need of some casual work staff and often provide room and board with the job.

Biggest tip is to network your arse off. Talk to people, locals, and travellers. Ask questions and look hard. There are always lots of opportunities for work....they just might not be so obvious..but they are there..

Cheers

Daresay not much use the original poster's friend at this late date BUT can I please recommend Work Your Way Around the World?this is a book by Susan Griffith published by Vacaion Work in the UK and which should be compulsory reading for anyone hoping to work abroad. Very entertaining in parts too!

Good money, good fun, great adventure.
