Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
It’s that time of year when RV park and campground owners are scrambling to fill summer positions. So much can and does change in six months to a year. RVers who accepted a job in good faith may now find they cannot meet their obligation. Sometimes, park owners decide they need more helping hands than they previously thought, so they had positions. And, unfortunately, there are always a few bad apples in the
bunch, RVers who simply do not show up to fulfill their commitment.
Regardless of the reason, now is an excellent time to find campground work. Many positions we’ve posted start tomorrow—or as soon as you can get there.
To every RVer who fills his or her job commitment by showing up as scheduled and doing a great job, thank you. Thank you for helping to build the good reputation of working RVers everywhere.
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,
Coleen

Working RVer Tip
Do 30 minutes of self-development every day. Listen to motivational CDs. Read a book that inspires. The positive affects it has on your outlook will come across in both job interviews and while you are on the job.

Consigning Stuff: How We Made Extra Money Getting Rid of Extra Things
Consigning stuff isn't a fancy way to say it, but it is what we did. We sold used merchandise at a consignment store. This one resembled an indoor flea market with vendor booths and a store clerk.

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.

Apply Early? Maybe, But Not Too Far in Advance
"Apply early" doesn't mean a year in advance. Getting your resume in early may have benefits. But, don't go overboard, applying so soon that your job application is lost or completely rejected.

Working RVer Tip
Remember that compliment your boss gave you? Include it on your resume. It's a bit of personalization that can make your resume stand out above the others. Ask permission first, though, because it is the polite thing to do and because it will remind him that he said it.
