Chances of getting a job as a demonstrator are low.

Job vacancies for demonstrators are down because:

• the current economic downturn means many organisations are cutting back on spending, including marketing such as demonstrating
• demonstrators are staying in the role for longer than in the past, because there are fewer job opportunities due to the recession.

Opportunities for demonstrators are expected to pick up once the recession eases.

Demonstrator opportunities often part time and seasonal

Demonstration work is generally part time and seasonal, as new products are usually launched in spring and at Christmas.

Most demonstrators are employed by cosmetics, food, wine, and cookware companies.

Demonstrators work throughout New Zealand. However, most are in the main centres of Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, where demand is greater because of population.
