More web sites for RV job seekers
If you’re new to the RV lifestyle, or just at the planning stage, a big question for many is this: How can I make it financially? If you’ve got a retirement income that needs shoring up, or you’re looking to make nearly all your income from scratch, working on the road can be daunting to think about.
If you need reassurance, think of this: Thousands of RVers are working on the road, doing things that they may never have dreamed of. There are resources to help you. Here are a some of great Internet resources that can help you find work on the road.
Perhaps the best-known to RVers is Workcamper News. As their website puts it, “Workampers are adventurous individuals, couples and families who have chosen a wonderful lifestyle that combines ANY kind of part-time or full-time work with RV camping. If you work as an employee, operate a business, or donate your time as a volunteer, AND you sleep in an RV (or on-site housing), you are a Workamper!”
Workcamper News brings outfits with jobs together with RVers who are looking for work. A regular print media magazine gives job listings, but if you’re looking for work you can upgrade your membership and get the latest information from the Workcamper website. A basic membership to the print version starts at $30 a year, US, or you can subscribe to the electronic version only for $37. Get both for $42. Many RVers who want to workcamp swear by this outfit.
Another place to look is at coolworks.com. This outfit is an electronic “connect the employer to the employee” website, but not directed only to RVers. You can find jobs across the US, Canada, and Mexico that will fit an RVer’s needs, but hey, want to travel internationally and leave the RV back home? The coolworks site can help you out here, too. The site breaks jobs into categories by type, or you can hunt for work by location. The employers are the ones paying the freight on this web site, so RVers looking for work can go there and look for jobs today at no cost.
Finally, retiredbrains.com is another site, particularly directed to folks who have had years of work experience and are now looking to come back and use that experience in a temporary, full time, or part time way. Focusing on older folk, you’ll find the site has information on a wide range of topics, far aside from just looking for employment. But if the employment side is what you’re interested in, click on the “find retirement jobs” button. Job listings are free to browse.
