Work in Zante can be pretty competitive, especially the more desirable roles as you’re essentially getting paid to party! As good as these roles are, they go fast, so you need to apply faster, to get the role you want.


Best Time to Apply

Typically, recruitment for jobs in Zante starts in January and peaks between February and April, by employers looking to fill any gaps before the season begins. Some employers may prefer hiring earlier, though, to secure committed workers, so it's worth applying as early as possible to give yourself a higher chance.

For late applicants, there may be limited options with only the less desirable roles being available. Some roles, like bar staff or club PR, may hire on-site in early summer but it’s very risky to rely on this.

How to Find Jobs

The best way to find a job will be through these:

  • Online platforms: Facebook groups, seasonal job boards, and company websites.

  • Networking: Reach out to past workers or local contacts.

  • Recruitment agencies specialising in summer work abroad.

  • Visit Zante early (April-May) for on-the-ground job hunting.

Preparing Your Application

It’s essential that you update your CV and cover letter (if necessary). Make sure to tailor it to the role you are applying for and highlight your relevant skills for the position. For people outside of the EU, have a look at visas so you can act quickly if you get offered the job.

Key Employers and Job Types in Zante

If you are unsure about which job you want to apply for here’s a list of potential roles you could apply for:

  • Main sectors: bars, clubs, restaurants, tour operators, water sports, and hotel staff.

  • Popular roles: bar staff, promoters, DJs, ticket sellers, waitstaff, cleaners.

  • Large employers: clubs on Laganas Strip, major beach resorts, tour operators.

Final Tips for Success

When you arrive in Zante, be flexible with roles and schedules as peak season will require long hours, network with coworkers and locals for any future job opportunities, stay professional as reputation matters for repeat hires. Finally, keep emergency funds for unexpected expenses or downtime between work. With all of this, you will be able to find your ideal job in Zante.
