Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
It’s good to be home. Campers have a fun-filled weekend fishing, making s’mores, and telling tales around the campfire. Come Sunday evening, they wish they could stay in the campground, rather than returning home to their daily grind. When it comes to snowbirds and winter Texans, returning home is more of a mixed lot. While some
are ready to head north, home to their sticks ‘n bricks, others wish they could continue the camaraderie of the RV resort. However, for full-timers, going home means going back to their RV.
We had a wonderful cruise. We worked. We played. We relaxed. We stayed up late and, yet, caught up on sleep. Without question, we ate too much! (Guy’s Burger Joint, the Blueiguana Cantina, the Mongolia Wok, the buffets, 24-hour pizza and ice cream, room service, and, oh, the regular dining
room.)
There’s no way we could take advantage of all the ship’s offerings. But, from the library to live music; from dive-in movies to the comedy club; and from the Newlywed game to professional stage shows, we had a busy fifteen days.
It was fun. I’m not much of a planner, but I’m ready to make plans to go again.
That all said, it’s good to be home. It’s good to be back to the RV. Nothing compares to the freedom to come and go that we have with our RV home and our RV life.
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,

Working RVer Tip
Face-to-face networking is still alive and well. Who-knows-whom is still important. Find someone with influence in the area where you want to work, and take them out for lunch.

Working While RVing Basics and Beyond
We have a section on the Workers On Wheels website labeled “The Basics for Working RVers.” That’s somewhat of a misnomer. Oh, the articles there are excellent for beginners. But, even if you are a seasoned working RVer, you’ll find helpful information on those pages.
Those articles cover everything from when to apply for a job to how to find jobs with housing if you don’t yet have your RV (or are between RVs). They’ll clue you in as to why you didn’t get the job; explain job titles, and help you attract jobs out of seemingly no-where. A couple of the more popular articles let you in on the
secrets of finding jobs you’ll love. From getting some quick cash to earning a living doing something you aren’t very good at doing, there’s a bunch of info worth reading.

Working RVer Tip
For some employers, how you do the job is very important. For others, they just want the job done. If you have a strong preference for doing things your own way, scope out managers who appreciate your alpha personality.

Working RVer Tip
Figure out what kind of work you want to do. You may want to do something similar to your current job or work you’ve done prior to full-time RVing. You’ll likely find temporary jobs in that field. On the other hand, you may want to do something completely different. Either is doable. But, they likely require different kinds of
prep work.
