My husband & I recently retired & live full time in our 40' MH. We are interested in volunteering or working part time as hosts, light maintenance, etc.
Is there a specific way to put together a resume for this type of work?
Is there a site that I can see a sample of the resume?
The few times we've needed a resume, we used a standard resume format. However, while these were jobs we did while full-time RVing, they were not campground jobs. Bob submitted a resume when he applied to work on a tourist steam train, though I don't think it played a big part in the hiring process. After I was offered a job as editor of the magazine for an RV club, they asked for a resume to put on file. Again, after Bob and I were hired to work in a transportation museum, we were then asked to fill out job applications and, I think, to submit resumes, as well. So, in our case, although some employers wanted resumes to put with our employment files, the formatting really didn't matter.
When we have worked at campgrounds or RV parks, we've never used a resume. They've never asked for one before or after we started working.
A resume is a helpful tool for you to take to a job interview or to use when filling out job applications. Even if you don't actually give it to the prospective employer, it is a handy way to have all your information organized and gathered together. How else can you remember the dates and contact information of your past work history and experience?
As for samples, I'll see what I can find. In the meantime, other workcampers, will you post the resumes that worked for you? Chime in here and let Mike know if you used a special workcamper resume or how you did yours.
