The job you get will depend on your previous work experience. Typical industries that hire working holiday visa holders include:

Customer service
Food & beverage
Farming & fruit picking

Retail & sales
Events and promotions

New Zealand Working Holiday - July 2019

…They were very helpful by sending a very detailed document about living in Auckland, and they also video chat with you to explain everything. They give you information on housing, getting a phone, banks, average living costs, etc. They also set you up for 2 nights in a really great hostel that I have been living in long term…
