My backpacker jobs during my Working Holiday Visa in New Zealand

Model for a cosmetics ad

On the more quirky side, I had the opportunity to be in a commercial. I was contacted by an advertising agency who had seen my profile and then offered me to appear in a video promoting local cosmetics. Because I am curious in nature, I accepted the offer.

A driver came to pick me up and take me to the filming location. We then spent the morning filming different scenes and recording my voice. A few weeks later, I received the final video.

Pros

This one morning job was a great experience. I got to try new products and I can now promote a local and responsible brand that I really like. I also had the opportunity to meet the creators who were very welcoming and with whom I got along very well. This job was also very well paid for what it was.

And, I’m not going to lie, it was pretty cool to feel like a star for a morning!

Bottom line: tested, super-approved.
