Working RVer Tip

Volunteer Job Experience Counts

Your time as a volunteer can count as legitimate job experience. When listing your job experiences on your resume, they don't need to come from paid positions. Document your tasks and duties along with your responsibilities and accomplishments. You also need to keep track of the dates of the volunteer positions and names of your supervisors.

Your Working While RVing Questions Answered

Finding Temporary Staffing Firms

~~ An RVer asks: How do work campers find temp services when they travel and aren't familiar with local businesses?

~~ I answered in part: When some call them "temp services" and others call them "placement agencies," it can be tricky. Here are some search tips and terms.

In the telephone book yellow pages, you find temp staffing agencies under “Employment Contractors - Temporary Help.”

You can also find these agencies by looking under specific service listings. For example, look under “Nursing” to find travel nurse placement companies.

Working RVer Tip

Set Yourself Above Other Job Seekers

Updated your job resume with a positive job report. You have your resume posted on our website. After you finish a job, if it was a good experience, post an update letting others know about it. You do this in the "Comments" section. This helps other RVers know about a good place to work. It also sets you above the competition. The facts are that many workampers grumble and complain. Employers look for workers with positive attitudes. Posting about your good experience showcases your positive nature.
