Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
What makes RVers desired workers? Not all business owners and managers are the same, of course, so what they look for in employees varies. You’ll see that as you read through the Help Wanted ads on the Workers On Wheels website.
Here are some of the things our recent supervisors have told us they like about us:
- Honesty
- Dependability
- Flexibility
- Having our own tools
- Being self-sufficient as opposed to needy
- Helping with whatever needed to be done
- Willingness to learn new things
- Appreciation for the community
- Being able to think and reason
- Being able to make decisions
- Work well by ourselves
- Not afraid to use a shovel
- Have skills they don’t have
- Willingness to do things they don’t like to do
- Caring for our site and the property as if it were our own
- Putting tools and equipment back where they came from
If you have working while RVing tips to share, or would like to tell us about your working-while-RVing experiences, we’d love to hear from you!
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,
Coleen

JR Watkins - A Location Independent Business for RVers
Sell J. R. Watkins natural products. Bob and I have been Independent Consultants with Watkins since 2005. People love the pure seasonings, old-time remedies, natural skin care, and natural cleaning products. It's an old Minnesota company, with products still made in the USA. They are not tested on animals. The business is extremely flexible. You do as much or as little as you want. No minimum orders. They'll drop-ship orders to
your customers for you. Work the business wherever your RV travels take you -- USA or Canada.

Working RVer Tip
Check the time zones before making phone calls. If you are on the east coast and call an employer on the west coast, at 10:00 a.m. your time, it is only 7:00 a.m. his time. And, if you are in a western state and make an evening call at 9:00 pm your time, you are calling the employer who lives in an eastern state at midnight!

Certification Cards, Licenses, and Completion Documents
Certification cards, licenses, and completion documents. You've heard that bank advertisement that asks what you carry in your wallet. It's an important consideration for working RVers. However, we’re not talking about credit cards.

Flight Seeing Tours in Alaska
Flight seeing tour companies hire numerous seasonal workers each summer. No, that's not a typo for "sightseeing." It really is supposed to be "flight" seeing. Maybe it is just an Alaskan thing. Instead of a driving tour to go sightseeing, you take tours by airplane. Some are very small planes, with only the pilot and one or two passengers. Other planes may hold a dozen or so passengers.

Working RVer Tip
If you want to make extra money while staying at a campground, consider pet sitting or dog walking.

Working RVer Tip
Before accepting a caretaking or campground job, find out when you are expected to be on-site. There may be a requirement that you are at the property certain times of the day, or certain days of the week, even if you are not scheduled to perform a specific duty during those times.

Something to Think About
The person who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The person who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one else has ever been before. ~ Albert Einstein
To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for, where you want to go and why you want to get there. ~ Kofi Annan
