    Looking at booking a working holiday in Ibiza with Sunkiss. does anyone know anything about them or know anyone who has used them before?

    The deal is they get help you get a job and sort out your accommodation and you get a rep over there to help you out too. sounds like a good deal to me because I'm going over on my own.

    When I grow up I want to be a body painter, and I feel like Ibiza is poss one of the only places where that is a real job.

    Anyone have any thoughts?

    Youth unemployment in Spain is 35%, how much do you pay them to get you a job and accommodation?

    Sorry but nowhere is body painting a real "job".

    These guys have cropped up on the forums before and there's not much info on them bar their Facebook page and their pretty abysmal website.

    It seems to me, if you want to work in Ibiza, best thing to do is book some cheap accommodation for a few weeks, cheap flights and head over and just look for work. I don't believe these guys have any kind of arrangement that improves your chances. The earlier you head over the greater the chance of picking up work as the season progresses.

    How many points do you need in your leaving for Body Painting in Trinity?

    Likely a low level scam of sorts, whereby they just get you a commission only gig handing out club flyers in skimpy gear.
    Then take a 90% cut for services or advice. As part of the EU open market, much better off contacting a proper agency there if unable to source direct employment by self.

    Try cruise ships instead, plenty of steady face painting and clowning around type opportunities to entertain the young folks, probably.

    Please Please do not go to work in these resorts. They are full of scams and scam artists who will use you. If you want to get away use the existing Irish networks around the globe. Bondi in Australia or the Bronx in NYC. Keep the fook away from them people.

    What do you mean 'when I grow up'?

    You know Ibiza is a VERY adult place to work you will be exposed to drugs and std's, people taking advantage of innocent people and a few bad eggs. Its not the place to go if you are not a well rounded person.
