How to Apply for a Working Holiday Visa
Since I returned to Korean from China , I've dreamed of working/living abroad.
I've applied for the working holiday in Canada three years in a row. Unfortunately don't get any chance yet.
hopefully to get an opportunity this time. anyhow to do some research on ways to apply for a working holiday visa.
Part one, Confirming your eligibility for a working holiday visa.
Start by checking if you are able to apply for the working holiday visa to a certain country as a citizen of your home country. Most countries will have an age restriction attached on their working holiday visas, usually around 18-30 years of age. Determine if there is an age restriction on the visa. To apply for a working holiday visa to most countries, you will need to show you have the funds to live in the country without work for several months. This requirement ensures that you will be able to do support yourself while you are in the country, even as you look for work. Check if you need to have a job lined up before you apply. Prepare a resume focused on the filed you are interested in and send out resumes to potential employers in the country. Visit employers in your area and hand out resumes in person after you have arrived. Many countries will require you to have proof of your student status as a recent graduate or current student at an *accredited university.
*accredited : officially recognized
Go for countries that are less competitive. They might have a thriving job market, which may make it easier for you to find work once you get to the country.
make things break down as small steps , feel like much easier and clearer.
Wish me luck this years!

How to Apply for a Working Holiday Visa
Since I returned to Korean from China, I have constantly/continually dreamed of living and working abroad. As a result, over the past three years, I had applied for a working holiday visa in Canada. Unfortunately, to date, I have not met their requirements, but I will hopefully expect to meet them this next time. Anyway, I did some research on ways to apply for a working holiday visa.
Part one: Confirming your eligibility for a working holiday visa
First, as a citizen of your home country, start by checking if you can apply directly for a working holiday visa to your target country. If so, determine if there is an age restriction on the visa, as most countries will have an age-restriction requirements attached (typically, 18 to 30 years of age).
Second, many countries will require you to have proof of your student status as a current student at, or as a recent graduate from, an accredited university.*
*Accredited means the school has met certain educational standards, and the government has officially recognized it.
Third, many countries will require you to show proof that you have the personal funds to live there, and to support yourself, for several months without working. This requirement ensures that you will not be a burden while you are in the country, even as you look for work.
Fourth, if possible, try to have a job lined up before you apply, which is something that may benefit you if listed on your application. Therefore, prepare a resume focused on the field you are interested in, and then, send out resumes to potential employers in the country.
Fifth, upon arrival in your target country, immediately seek out and visit employers in the area, to hand out resumes in person. Aim for countries that are less desirable, and thus, possibly less competitive. They might have a thriving job market, which may make it easier for you to find work once you have arrived there.
Finally, break things down into smaller steps, to make them simpler and easier to accomplish (or, if nothing else, to allow them to feel that way!)
Wish me luck this year!
Hi, Melody(?). Good job! Whatever changes I made were to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears, to clarify your thoughts, to give it better organization, and for ease of reading. My sincerest apologies if I have misinterpreted what you wanted someone to do with your text. I hope that this helps, you, Jonathan.
P.S. Of course, I wish you the best of luck in reaching your goal!
