Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
Spring break will be here soon. For working RVers, that means an entire mini season of two-week jobs.
Some of the two-week jobs created by spring break:
- Traffic control
- Children's day camp workers
- Child care for parents who don't have time off work
- Restaurant cooks, servers, hosts, bussers, dishwashers, and cashiers
- Gift shop workers
- Bar waitstaff, bartenders, bouncers, entertainers, clean-up crew
- Hotel staff
- Security at retail stores, concerts, and other venues
- Food concessionaires
- Tour guides
- Vending opportunities at the beach, at concerts, and other special events
- Reps for financial institutions recruiting for credit card applications at the beach
- Hand out product samples, such as sunscreen packets at the beach
Reading through that list, you may think the one about recruiting credit card applications on the beach is odd. Granted, the beach isn’t where you normally think of going to do financial transactions. But, college kids are a prime target market for credit card companies. And, where do you find college kids during spring break? At the beach.
We’ve walked the beaches on South Padre Island during spring break. All sorts of businesses had set up temporary, portable shop there. They drew people in with samples, contests, and freebies. They were swamped with business!
Valentine’s Day is coming up this week. It’s a good time to do something extra special for someone you care about and want to be happy.
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,
Coleen

Working RVer Tip
When applying for jobs, list examples of what specific things you can do. Go beyond saying, "Basic carpentry skills." Consider these examples: "I've constructed a small shed." “I've remodeled our bathroom, including putting up new Drywall and trimming." "I've built steps and railing, to code."

Tips for Writing a Work Wanted Ad that Gets Results
How you write a Work Wanted ad can mean the difference in getting a job interview or not. A good Work Wanted ad grabs an employer's attention. It gives the employer a reason to contact you. That paragraph or two that makes up your Work Wanted ad is all prospective employers have to go on in deciding if they should contact you for more information or to invite you for an interview.

Earn Your Living with a Blog or Website
A blog or website is yet another way to earn a living without being tied to one location. Your blog can be about most anything. Picking a topic that you enjoy can make it seem more like fun than work. Still, you have to figure out a way to make money with it. SoloBuiltIt! (SBI!) is an all-in-one program that guides you from picking a profitable website topic, to building the actual site, to keeping up with ever-changing
technology. Yes, we use SIB! for our Workers On Wheels website.

Jobs with Housing for Workers Who Don't Yet Have an RV
Jobs with housing can fill the gap between living in a traditional home that you own or rent and when you get your RV. A variety of work options include room and board or lodging accommodations.

Working RVer Tip
Find work in a community by going to places related to the job—places where those who do the hiring go. For instance, if you want to work on a farm, stop in and talk to people at the local farm supply place, the feed store, a livestock auction barn, or a farm implement dealer.
