Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
Happy New Year! We hope that 2020 has gotten off to a great start, and that it turns out to be an excellent year for you.
We’ve been interviewing campground owners and other employers who hire working RVers. We’re compiling that info into new articles for you. The tips in the “Tips for Getting a Campground Office Job” article that we posted this week is one example. Those tips come from the very people who decide who gets the job and who doesn’t.
You’ll find a link to that article in this newsletter. As we’ve done in the past, we want to continue to bring you practical advice and information you can use.
But, it’s not all work here at the Workers On Wheels mobile headquarters.
If you follow my personal Facebook postings, you know that I’m fond of puns, one-liners and silly jokes. Bob calls them, “second grade jokes.” I think he calls them that because they are so old he heard them back in elementary school. But, it may be that he’s referring to the quality…. Anyway, my Facebook friends seem to enjoy
them. So, I’m starting the year out by adding some working RVer humor to the newsletter. Keep reading to find out about the RVer who got a job making donuts. And, if you have some camping, RVing, or work related jokes to tell, we’d love to hear them.
You may have heard we’ve been shopping for a different motorhome. We just bought a new-to-us-but-used-by-many-others, Class C. It’s a Thor Majestic, formerly part of Cruise America’s rental pool. It’s a 2014, and is 24 feet long. More on the motorhome, and the shopping and buying experience to come
later.
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,
Coleen

Some jobs come with valuable perks. A perk is something extra. It is something you get in addition to your hourly wage or salary. They’re things that can sweeten the deal, making your job easier or more fun, or making the compensation package more appealing. Examples: golf privileges, farm fresh eggs, use of a canoe, VIP passes,
freezer space, fishing charters, use of a wood-working shop, and restaurant meals.

Working RVer Tip
If you think you've earned a raise, ask for it. That doesn't guarantee you'll get it. But, if you ask politely, and if you have reason to justify it, you just might. Note that "reason to justify it" is about how you've helped your employer, not about your needs or wants.
