The above statement is so true. Once I saw the scope of what I can do and where I can go I was so excited. It was hard to pick which way to go first. Here at Mt. Rushmore in the gift shop I have at least two - three guest per day who ask, how can I do this. I write on the bag Coolworks.com. Start there and let your mind do the rest. Don't retire and go home to die. Get a seasonal job and have fun. Because it is fun along with the work. Some times fun at the guest expense. Like recently when a guest ask during a rain spell, How long will it rain? Duh, right up until it stops.

Hello. I love this writing. I was a di hard seasonal addict. I've worked up on Mackinac Island, Michigan, the Grand Hotel, the Villiage Inn, and finally Mission Point Resort. I've been to Yosemite National Park, The Grand Canyon, Kings Canyon. When I get better again, I want to hit the road again. How do you people line up your next jobs? Do you do it thru phone interviews, and the internet? Would love to hear from many of you. Oh I have worked in some ski resorts like Lake Tahoe, and some of the Casiono's there in Taoe. This time I want to work in Amsument Parks, like the Disney Company and Ceder Point. Please write when you can. Going to post some pictures...Larry

I am just trying to get back into the seasonal work lifestyle. Any suggestions on where to look? I've applied in California, Idaho, and Montana/Wyoming and even up in Michigan, but no good news yet. I am really trying to get set up by, at the latest, mid September. Thanks for any direction you can send me that will lead me to a job at a resort!

Glad to be part of a group. My husband and I have been traveling since 2004. We are fulltimers and have an RV and love it. Unfortuneately, we unexpectedly were laid-off in midsts of lies from the management that they were keeping us throughout the winter and not to look for work. This shock has pushed us to seek employment opportunties immediately but to no avail thus far. IT's been two weeks and we must leave where we are since losing our jobs! We are looking for California or Oregon since we are in northern Cali right now.

That's a great idea. We're actually on Workamper, and it's just a little bit more than $30. We just got a solid offer to move to Arizona. Hate to go backward, but it will my husband and me a chance to save up some money to get a better RV and move onward and upward.

Why pay when you can go through Coolworks.com? They are, simply put, the best.... Try Ski resorts and Florida, etc. Also Craigslist is an excellent source of jobs.
