How do you find these Really Cool jobs??
I have heard that a few times. Well the short answer is God and I am serious about that. Honestly, I am making an intentional effort on this journey not to plan. I have spent my whole life planning and I have to say, I am pretty good at it and it definitely has a place and time to be used. However, this go around I am trying to allow God to work in my life, trust in His process and timing and hopefully not miss too many opportunities He would place in my path.
So it goes a little different every time. It might be that I am on a walk and talk and feel a nudge to look for a job, or someone I have met along this journey asks about my availability or have I heard of this opportunity? But it always involves prayer. Asking for guidance and that He would open and shut doors and place me where He could best use me.
Full time RV life is a lifestyle and as such it comes with a bit of a learning curve in many aspects. There are Facebook groups devoted to every aspect, websites, blogs, vlogs and of course good ol fashioned talking with other full time RV folks you meet!
Some coverage of technical terms!
-FHU – full hook up Rv site meaning electric, sewer, and water
– work camping – a position of a determined amount of time, where you are compensated with a FHU site for your RV that is free or heavily discounted and paid an actual wage
– camp hosting – typically a state park position, the position also is for a determined amount of time typically 1-6 months. It is a volunteer position, however you receive your FHU site in exchange for your service, typically there is no additional wages paid
– seasonal work – back in the day this might have only applied to farm type, harvest jobs. Today it includes opportunities in lots of interesting locations. Think holidays like Christmas tree lots, pumpkin and fall festivals National parks that are open during a season, ski resorts. These companies all have the same challenge, finding a massive work force for a relatively brief period of time. Housing, be it dormitory style or RV site and wages are typical compensation.
There you have it folks! Job finding 101!!
