Day Work or Night Work – Which should I choose?
Working abroad for the summer can be an amazing, life changing experience. If you’re looking to live and work in a holiday resort, you’ll need to consider the lifestyle you’re hoping for. Whether you choose to work during the day or the evening/late into the night can make a huge difference to your experience. Work during the day means your evenings are free (but waking up early). Work at night means being in the thick of the action at the busiest times, so choose wisely!
Day Work
Summer Jobs in resorts that offer work during the daytime will involve what holidaymakers are doing during that time. Hotels, restaurants, cafes, beach clubs & water parks are just some of the venues that will need staff throughout the day.
Here are some Pros & Cons to consider.
| Pros | Cons |

| You can often find more permanent roles in restaurants or hotels. | Some of the best workers’ parties happen between 4am and 6am! |

Holiday resorts come alive at night time, tourists are out to enjoy themselves and everything on offer. From restaurants to bars and clubs, every venue will need workers to keep the holidaymakers happy and help them have a great time.
Below are some Pros and Cons if you choose night work abroad.
| Pros | Cons |
| Resorts tend to be busiest at night, this can be a really fun and enjoyable time to work. | Working when the resort is busiest can mean more work to do! |
| Many roles at night will be in lively venues, so you get to enjoy a party atmosphere. | Night Time tends to be when holidaymakers drink the most, so expect more drunk people. Not always fun when you’re not joining in. |
| Workers parties are legendary, if you’ve got the stamina the best ones happen from 4am-6am! | You could miss out on some big events when you’re working |
| You wont need to get up early, so sleep in as long as you like. | You may not be in the mood to party every night, but you still need to work! |
| You still have some daylight hours left to hit the beach or enjoy some activities between getting up and starting work. | All those late nights can take their toll eventually over a long season. |
