Be aware - technically, you are not allowed to enter many countries to look for work. Processing of work permits may take a long time. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you obtain Work Permit forms from an Embassy or Consulate and process them before leaving your home country.
In addition, temporary jobs like fruit picking and any work “on black” will never qualify you for work permits. Furthermore, such unofficial employment can quite often lead to exploitative working conditions. If you are caught, you can be hit with hefty fines and/or barred from the country or even deported.
