If you’ve done a working Holiday before, would you mind sharing your experience?

I'm considering doing a working holiday this year. I don't know much Japanese, though I have made a steady hobby of learning. I know there's some services like Stepabroad or SWAP for canadian citizens that will hook you up with a job without knowing the language, mostly at ski resorts.

Though I'm worried about what finding work will be like after the ski season is over, especially since I've only ever worked retail before, and don't have any post secondary education.

Wondering if anyone in a similar situation to me has been able to make it work. thanks in advance for any replies!
