Seasonal employment

In some sectors, seasonal workers are indispensable, for example during the harvest in agriculture or during the vacation season in the catering industry. Payment is based on the standard collective agreement in the respective sector.

Seasonal work is an ideal way to bridge temporary periods of unemployment and increase your own wealth of experience. You can find vacancies on all job boards.
