Walk into a job

When we checked into Taos Valley RV Park and Campground in Taos, NM, we saw a sign "Workampers needed." I asked about it and found that they are looking for a couple to live in their RV in a site in exchange for working a certain number of hours in the park. Extra hours would be paid. They can use someone in the office and someone outside.

Stopping at an RV park can be a good way to check out the park before taking a position. You can get an idea what would be involved in working there, what management is like and what amenities they have. And, sometimes if you talk to the owner or manager about the possibility of working there, you'll be offered a job - now or for a future season. Or, they might even have a sign up and want you to start tomorrow. Jaimie
