Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
Minnesota hires 3000 workers for its state fair. That is according to an Associated Press article in the local newspaper. It said they've had an increase in the number of people applying for the jobs and
attributed it to the economy. I can't help but wonder if it has to do with an increase in full-time RVers who've discovered fairs are an excellent place to find work for a few days to a few weeks. Minnesota is one of the larger state fairs, but other fairs across the country also hire many short-term workers.
Would you rather receive this newsletter later in the day? Over the past few months, I've
heard from a few folks who say the newsletter's arrival wakes them in the middle of the night. I'm wondering how many people this bothers. Do you like having the newsletter sent Saturday night or early Sunday morning, or would you prefer it to arrive later on Sunday?
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,
Coleen

September Incentive from Watkins: Enroll this month and Watkins will send you a $20 gift certificate to use on Watkins products of your choice. Bob and I have been selling JR Watkins products since 2005. People love the vanilla, cinnamon, and pepper, the old time remedies, and the natural skin care products - and that makes it easy to sell.

you. Work the business wherever your RV travels take you -- USA or Canada. See the product catalog and learn more.

Working RVer Tip -- Interview
Prospective Employers
A job interview is a two-way street. Before the interview, check the employer's website. At the interview, ask questions. You are interviewing the employer as much as the employer is interviewing you.

Working
RVer Tip -- Gut Instincts
If a job doesn't feel right, it probably isn't right. Your gut instinct is usually spot-on in knowing what is a good match for you. The location, the salary, and the duties can all be right. The people can be really nice. And, yet, there can be something about the position that
your gut senses is wrong.

Working RVer Tip -- Make It Plain and Simple
When sending in an ad or resume, use a basic, common type font, such Times New Roman. Use normal,
proper capitalization and punctuation. Skip fancy bullets and designs. Use a single space between words and sentences. Automatic programs don't always know how to translate the cutesy fonts, funky coding, and extra spaces, so they strip them out. It can result in your ad being all run together as one long word.
