Working RVer Tip
When can you work? When are you willing to work? The more flexible you can be with your schedule, the better. But, if you need to have a particular day off, or if you know you can't stay awake to work nights, be up front about when asked.

An Accident at Work Leaves You With an Injury. Who Pays the Bills?
You have an accident at work. Does workman's comp cover you? Injuries at work are common and medical treatment is expensive. For work campers, who covers the bill if you get hurt?
If you are working as an employee, chances are your employer is paying for worker's compensation insurance. The most basic purpose of worker's comp is to pay for employee's medical expenses when they receive an injury at work.
But, are you an employee?
It could be that you are a volunteer or an independent contractor.
Some non-profit organizations have liability insurance that covers volunteers against injuries.

Working RVer Tip
When things go wrong on the job, react calmly. Take a deep breath and access the situation. Blowing up in anger is most likely only going to make the problem worse.

Working RVer Tip
Be ready for on-the-spot job interviews. You never know when an employer may call you and want to do an interview right there and then, on the phone call. Or, your intention may be to just drop of an application, but the interview takes a quick glance and decides he wants to know immediately know more about you and your skills. Be prepared.
