Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
It pays to go where you want to work. It pays to go in person for job interviews. Literally.
Just this afternoon, a working RVer told me how they found their next position. They sent a resume to a campground that places Help Wanted ads with us on Workers On Wheels. They didn’t hear back. However, they followed up by going to that campground in person. She said that after visiting for about ten minutes, they were hired
on the spot.
It turns out the campground has a unique position that requires special knowledge—or at least a particular subject interest. It seems the campground owner neglected to put that in the ad. And, it seems, the RVer didn’t include that special interest and experience on his resume. If it wasn’t for the in-person visit, they all
would have lost out on what looks to be an excellent match.
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,
Coleen

Working RVer Tip
Your social media profiles and postings can make the difference between getting the job and not getting it. I wasn’t able to verify this statistic, but I’ve read that 93 percent of employers check applicants’ social media presence.

Working RVer Tip
If you are looking for work at campgrounds, or other venues where you will be living on the job premises, get photographs of your rig. You’ve heard that a picture is worth a thousand words. A neat, clean RV that is well maintained can often slip past the “no rigs more than ten years old” rule. Rather than to try to explain that
your rig looks mint or classic, simply provide pictures of it.
