Workamper University press release, March 9, 2009:  Working on the road or Workamping® means money and adventure!

It is actually quite easy to find a position working or volunteering if you travel in your RV.

Before you travel hundreds of miles to a job, how do you know it will be a good situation and be what you are expecting? It’s all in the interview. And since you will probably have your interview by phone, what do you need to ask? How can you make sure you don’t pay taxes on your RV site, that your cell phone will work there, that you’ll have time to see the area? Workamper 102: Interviewing for a Workamper Job will answer those questions.

See http://www.workamper.com/university/workamper102 for complete curriculum, class hours and dates, tuition and list of free bonuses to participants.

Instead of spending money to travel, RVers who work on the road, also known as Workampers®, can earn money to pay their living expenses and add to their savings. Working or volunteering on the road can also reduce expenses. Some jobs provide a free or reduced-cost RV site and workers spend less on fuel and entertainment since they are in one place. Workers may also get valuable perks such as free or discounted admission to nearby attractions. So, what are the keys to finding a good position? A critical step is the interview.

In Interviewing for a Workamper Job, Jaimie Hall Bruzenak will lead participants through a process that will enable them to:

  • Identify questions to ask during the interview and prepare a basic checklist

  • Identify knockout factors and screen employers

  • Identify red flags that indicate this is not a place to work

  • Compute what the RV site costs and what to ask so income tax isn’t owed on its value.

  • Provide tools to evaluate a job offer to compute compensation

Jaimie’s previous Workamper Webinars received high praise:

Jaimie: You did a great job last night! Thanks so much for putting together such an informative event. ~Dolores

I want to thank you for your class [Workamper 101] and your willingness to help me get started with Workamping. I am learning a lot of important information that would have taken much more time and effort to acquire had it not been for your class. I have barely started my resume on Awesome Applicants and was shocked that I have two campgrounds that have contacted me to interview. Darcy


Workampers have many possibilities for working on the road. Many people think RVers are strictly camphosts, but that is only one possibility. RVers work in RV parks, national and state parks, amusement and theme parks to name just a few of the hundreds of different ways they can earn money. In her book, Support Your RV Lifestyle! An Insider’s Guide to Working on the Road, author Jaimie Hall Bruzenak lists more than 350 different ways. Jaimie also covers all the how-to’s for finding a job including interviewing and negotiation, resumes, health insurance and legal considerations. She says, “The interview is a critical element in finding a job that will be the kind of place where you want to work while meeting your income needs.”

Idaho TsanomiWe have been on the road for over seven years in 32'class C. We love it and are having a ball. We have to work (workamping) along the way. Have met many wonderful people along the way and would not change a moment. Found out we did not need all of the "stuff" to be truly happy.
RVladyI have obligations financially but find it is cheaper to live on the road. All your housing is paid for with workamping. As far as insurance, some campgrounds offer it. Personally, I got a high deductible and made my private insurance more affordable.( including health) There are ways around it. You cannot full time without workamping if you have obligations but once you hit the road,the cost of living is much less. Remember all the daily household expenses are covered. I look forward to traveling more without workamping after I get debt free! I was planning on waiting till I got debt free, but Katrina changed that.. ( Every disaster seems to have a silver lining, if you believe) SMILE Set your intentions of traveling soon. You will find that things happen faster when you set your mind to it. Keep your goal or vision out there. Pursue your dream while you can. PS. I am single and retired, you can imagine how my family thinks I am crazy. It is a lifestyle many cannot comprehend. Many people need their brick and mortar homes for security. Fortunaely, I am not one of them.
