Before you go on a working holiday visa, consider this: due to the recent collapse of the largest chain of English instruction schools, there are thousands of unemployed expats who will be competing with you for jobs. This is probably the worst time ever to be going over on a working holiday.

You haven't mentioned what skills you have or what job you have been doing until now. Really there are all sorts of jobs you can do, but remember that if you are on a WHV then you are not allowed to work in bars etc so that limits you if you are unskilled. And there are an excess of English teachers as Charles mentioned so look for work before you come.
