How to get started - step three
Step 3 - Prepare your résumé: Prepare a one page résumé, focusing on the skills that a seasonal employer would need. Even without Workamping experience, you have undoubtedly worked with people, dealt with customers, handled money or done maintenance. Include any work experience that applies as well as community work and hobbies. For example, if you have maintained your home, you have used a number of maintenance skills you would need in an RV park.
If you have never worked on the road before, I suggest using a functional résumé. This résumé emphasizes skills over work experience. You can see an example in my book or here. Subscribers to Workamper News can also post their résumé in the Awesome Applicants database, searchable by employers.

What is out there for single females? Noted most comments are about couples.

Good question. Two posts on this blog feature solo women and jobs they have done. One is "Betty will be "jammin'!" and the other is "Solo woman Workamper."
Solo women find all kinds of jobs. Some employers will hire singles or couples, other employers hire each person on the basis of their qualifications and not as a couple. I recommend a subscription to Workamper News to get some ideas.
