I have been doing seasonal work now on and off for around five years. I just put down everything.. most of the National Parks and resorts realize people are making life changing moves. I have worked with several people that are Corporate America R...
Well... I now DO have an official 40 hr a week full time housekeeping job. (In 3 months of continual job hunting, applying to 3 to 10 jobs a day online each and every day, it was the only job offer I got!! I finally dumbed-down my resume enough to...
You could be honest, put everything in the resume you would normally do and just say that you want to do something different. I guess some people in HR might get worried if they get the impression that you are over-educated for the job and think t...
Hey there Older & Boider crowd! :) First post here, thinking *seriously* about starting seasonal work as my *next step in life*. (Yay!) What do you all put in your resumes when you've got lots of experience or education, but are looking for housek...
Whoops... I mean left hand side. ;)
Oh wow... there's 2 Nancy's here--lol! Hello :)
Nancy B-- Gosh, you're planned trip/new phase in life sounds really exciting. I wish you great luck. What a fantastic time you're going to have the moment you step out on the road. All those wonderf...
Thank you so much for the link to that article Keith. That was a very good read, yet gosh...that's depressing! I just can't believe how the U.S. has plunged into a 1920s Great Depression all over again, and so suddenly too. It is just so bizarre! ...

Keith, well yes... one reason for me for a dishwashing/housekeeping position is because I *don't* want to be having to "think" on a job. (lol) I'm writing a book so the "mindlessness" of dishwashing, housekeeping is perfec...
First..the link: http://my.coolworks.com/profiles/blogs/interesting-insights-about-the
Second, back then there were not many applications for dishwashers that could barely fill out the form let alone any degrees. And, um, how can I put this...in ...
My husband and I applied for jobs for the fall/winter season 2009 -2010 and were hired right away. We did put down our current full time employment and past work experience (which had nothing to do with housekeeping), but that really does not seem...
Keith... oh dear... you used to throw the applications to the bottom of the pile which listed educational degrees? omg.. For me, when I apply to those dishwashing, housekeeping jobs I have ZERO intention of looking for other work if I got the jobs...
Glad you have a question about this too Nancy! :) (You're enthusiam sounds like mine--lol)
Almost all..except sometimes the smallest mom and pop operations...use their set application forms. But that's one of the reasons I almost always try to send my own resume or something similar. It's also nice because you can do functional, or you ...
I think you might be experiencing some of the flack that's similar to the article Kathi posted a little while ago about the Jersey shore. You're too close...and they are "real-world" restaurants/hotels/resorts.
I was in management in that world b...
Thanks Keith... yes, whoops... I realized right after I posted this about the other topic with almost the identical same heading. I know I'd looked at it before & didn't see my specific question answered. Probably just could have added the questio...
There's been an ongoing discussion of this topic for sometime now.
It's at: Education and Work Experience
But it would be nice to get this topic rolling again...
