What jobs can people do in another country for a short time?

I'd say seasonal tourism jobs are quite common for short-term work abroad. The main reason is they don't require long-term commitments, and many places actually need extra hands during peak seasons. For example, I have a friend who worked at a ski resort in Japan for three months - they provided accommodation and basic training, which made the transition smoother. That being said, these jobs often involve long hours and physical work, so they're not for everyone. Another option could be teaching your native language, especially if you have some teaching experience or certifications. In Shanghai, I've met several foreigners doing short-term English teaching stints between other jobs.
