Today is a special day for The Workamper Show. We are releasing our 300th episode. It’s quite a milestone for our five-year-old podcast. We will celebrate the occasion with a special show about finding the ideal Workamping job.
Today’s episode is actually hosted by Jody Anderson Duquette and her husband, Luke. They became the owners of Workamper News a few years ago when Jody’s parents retired after running the company for about 15 years.
The entire focus of the Workamper News operation centers on helping RVers to find great jobs, as well as helping employers to connect with people looking for those jobs.
So, Jody and Luke are going to have a discussion to offer tips for finding the ideal Workamping job. They have identified 11 steps people can take to follow a path from looking for work to actually landing a job.
The 11 steps they identified to find and secure a great job will be a tremendous help for anyone who wants to travel and enjoy a more adventurous life.
The Workamper News organization has truly changed the scope of RVing for the better. When I first started working in the RV industry in January 2000, the average age of first RV ownership was 65. That’s because people usually retired and then went RVing.
Today, the average age when people buy their first RV is 45. That’s because the former Workamper News magazine, and now the Workamper.com website, opened the door for people to afford to travel while they were still young enough to enjoy it.
There are literally thousands of jobs available every year to people of all ages, backgrounds and experience levels. Most are paid positions, but some are volunteer opportunities.
Two features of Workamper membership that literally pays for themselves are the Awesome Applicants Resume Builder and the corresponding Awesome Applicant Resume Database.
The resume builder guides people through a step-by-step process to create effective resumes that provide exactly the type of information employers are looking for and in places where they expect to find it.
The resume database allows employers to scan all the resumes submitted by Workampers to search for people with specific skills and interests. It has become such an effective recruitment tool that some employers never advertise their jobs anywhere.
They simply scan the database and extend invitations directly to Workampers encouraging them to apply. As a result, Workampers who don’t have their resumes in the database miss out of some great opportunities.
If you are not a Workamper member, I encourage you to check out the membership options by visiting www.workamper.com and clicking on Join in the upper right corner. It will cost you nothing to try out all the features and benefits for a full 30 days.

Each video answers questions submitted by folks, just like you, who are learning about the RV lifestyle, just getting started, or have been Workamping for a while.
The videos cover topics like what kind of Workamping jobs are out there, what do these jobs pay, tips for writing your Workamper resume, questions to ask an employer, what type of RV is best, how to get your mail as an RVer, and much more!

That’s all we have for today’s special 300th episode of The Workamper Show. I’ll be back next week with an interview of a couple who are relatively new to the RVing and Workamping lifestyle. I’ll have details on the next episode of The Workamper Show.
