Workamper Campfire - Jan 2013 PREVIOUSLY RECORDED
Presented by: Steve Anderson - WKN President & Dream Engineer 01/29/2013	Workampers and Workamper Dreamers discuss questions about Workamping around the campfire. Questions discussed: Would like to know if you can do this at several locations, or do you need to stay in one location for several months? Is is possible to Workamp part-time? i.e. only Tues, Wed, Thurs. Are there ways to determine if a job is less physically demanding? Are there jobs which are part-time with FHU and pay a wage? Do you get Canadians asking about Workamping in the U.S.? Can you bring your kids? If we need $1000/month, and a job says that they'll pay for any hours worked over our space rent, how do we figure how much we should be asking/looking for? When we trade services (work) for space and FHU, is this considered income? Or is it considered barter and not taxed? Looking for info on mail forwarding groups/organizations in South Dakota. Lots of info on Texas' Escapees, but is there comparable companies in South Dakota? How can I email my AA Resume to employers? Have you ever heard of self-employment tax? When you do not have a home base (we rented our house), how does the program affect your tax base? What deductions could be used for taxes? Could you please discuss portable income sources for people who are living on the road. Are there companies that operate solely with such employees? What sort of independent income streams are people engaged in? Do you recommend signing a Work Agreement with an Employer? I live in Canada and am looking into RVing and living in the USA but don't know how to get started into learning about Workamping. Any suggestions?

Workamper Campfire - Dec 2012 PREVIOUSLY RECORDED
Presented by: Steve Anderson - WKN President & Dream Engineer 12/20/2012	Workampers and Workamper Dreamers discuss questions about Workamping around the campfire. Questions discussed: Considering becoming a future Workamper. We need to learn and understand the industry more so we can better explore our options. I am excited and hesitant to start this venue in an RV as a single woman. I would like to know if there are many other women out there traveling? Are all Workampers "pooled" in the same area? We hear this is done and basically no one has any privacy as they are on top of each other. How do most Workampers react to the 20 hours for campsite before any wages? Are Workampers covered by Workmens Comp in case of injury? How do you go about finding brokers for medical insurance who will work for you, not the insurance companies? I'd like to find the section to get my resume verified. Also, how do I get verified with no employer history? Since I've been self-employed. I want to be successful with my first Workamper assignment. Do I want pay for all hours worked then pay for a site, or take a free site offset with hours worked? How can I switch my membership to receiving Workamper News magazine in the mail and not just online? Do you still have the tool where Workampers can share comments about an employer?

Workamper Campfire - Nov 2012 PREVIOUSLY RECORDED
Presented by: Steve Anderson - WKN President & Dream Engineer 11/29/2012	Workampers and Workamper Dreamers discuss questions about Workamping around the campfire. Questions discussed: I am a campground manager interested in learning how Workampers may be utilized by our organization? When applying for a Workamper job, do Employers have negative views of popup campers? What do people do about clothes to wear for Workamping? I'm wondering because I'm not going to have a lot of room for clothes and wonder what type of clothes make the best use of that space? What are the pros and cons of gas vs diesel engines in a motorhome? Do places where Workampers work have people come around to fill their LP tanks so they don't have to leave camp and go fill it up then come back and set up again? I would like info on obtaining health insurance. Is there an average time slot that a Workamper would stay at any given campground - i.e. a month, 3 months, etc.? How many hours does a Workamper typically work weekly? Last spring I did my first stint as a camp host solo. The 24/7 aspect was the thing I didn't like. I am considering a retail store job in a National Park. Maybe I could experience the surroundings more. Any comments? On a resume, is it better to be specific on a location and hours you wish to work, or would you tag all? What jobs are available for camping and working with horses? Or any kind of job at a campground that has horse camping? How do I deal with payroll taxes when Workamping in another state that's not my home base? When working in a National Park for an Employer such as Yellowstone General Stores, are state taxes withheld for the state the park is located in or in the home state of the Employer? I've decided to "retire" April 1 instead of later, so I don't have a year to plan. Can you suggest an accelerated training plan for this Dreamer? Since i have recently had to update my resume at workamper.com I have noticed i get an email saying that my reusme was viewed by employers. Do employers get a notification when a Workamper resume has been updated?

Workamper Campfire - Sept 2012 PREVIOUSLY RECORDED
Presented by: Steve Anderson - WKN President & Dream Engineer 09/25/2012	Workampers and Workamper Dreamers discuss questions about Workamping around the campfire. Questions discussed: How do we find health insurance that covers full-timers? Can I be a single Workamper? We hope to retire in a couple years. In the meantime, what classes or skills would you learn or train in, like Spanish or CDL, to help you be a well-rounded Workamper? How much competition is there for advertised jobs? How do I find a list of jobs that offer salary and site for work? Also a list for winter employment. Where is the best place to find shorter-term opportunities measured in weeks rather than months or seasons? Is there a way to search or highlight a job for a single person (not couple)? It seems like Florida is more limited on jobs than Arizona or Texas. Why is that? Are NASCAR related jobs obtained via NASCAR or the individual track? Looking for more info on Southern Cross and Amazon. When buying an RV, should we seek an RV in a state with no sales tax? Do you still have to pay your state sales tax if you purchase elsewhere? What do you do about the employer that told you the job would be 40 hours a week, but it didn't turn out that way. Will there be a future webinar on resume building and writing for those of us who cannot participate in the Rendezvous? Is it too late to get a job this year (season)? Brand new to Workamping. What the 3 most important things/info some of the Workampers think that I should know? I'm a computer professional - mostly web design and development - how can I find temporary or part-time computer positions around the country?

Workamper Campfire - August 2012 PREVIOUSLY RECORDED
Presented by: Steve Anderson - WKN President 08/28/2012	Workampers and Workamper Dreamers discuss questions about Workamping around the campfire. Questions discussed: Would like to view webinars on my own schedule&? If we are still dreaming/planning for the lifestyle, what is the first step? We plan on becoming Workampers in 2.5 years. Wife does pet grooming, and I own a windshield repair company. Would there be a need for these services as a Workamper? WKN services seem to make sense, but I am uncomfortable subscribing to a service I have not had the opportunity to review. How can I review in detail the services prior to joining? How do we get started? How do we get that first Workamping job with no real hands-on experience? And how do we arrange it so when one Workamper job is complete, we move on to the next in a different state/town/city? How difficult is finding a position around the country? Want to be north for summer and south for winter. What clothes do you take with you when you are going full-time and traveling both north and south, and how much of everything? How far ahead does one need to line up a job? How often should we contact the person who we sent our resume to? Is there work available other than at campgrounds, and if so, how does one connect to that group? What is the best state for residency, considering income taxes and health insurance? How to get RV insurance when you're a permanent traveler? What do I do about a physical address? We already have commitments for our weekends. Are there places we could work just during the week? How about health & dental insurance? Is there any way to find insurance that we can afford? How do full-timers handle regular medical and dental check-ups when they no longer have a true home base? Do they carry their medical and dental records with them? Who sells full-time RV insurance? Can the RV Tax Master do a person's taxes if they don't live in the same vicinity as him? Via email or by phone? I've noticed Workampers that that about jobs on the Forums site, but don't post in the Workamper Experiences forum with specifics. Why? Workamper Rendezvous information. When will you decide dates for 2013?

Fortunately there are a few things that owners can do to make sure that their RVs and valuables are safe and secure. In addition, whether traveling for business or pleasure, a traveler must be on alert for any situation that an Identity Thief may try to take advantage of the opportunity.

How has medical marijuana affected drug testing by employers in this industry? Have you noticed much of a decline in available jobs or salary since the economy has been bad? I'm getting ready to retire in March 2012 and am a bit apprehensive. Do you have any words of support? I have a talent that may benefit a campground. I would imagine that would put me in a contracted position. Since I would be a single workamper could I contract my talent as well as work for the employer? and how would that work? Is there a place I can go to learn to drive an RV before I purchase one?

(Hint: It is not as easy as you might think; and it is not as hard as you might think!) 5) The most critical mind-set shift you need to make before attempting to develop your Personal Marketing Strategy. Don't even bother with all of the steps I'm going to teach you if you're not willing to do this! As you probably know (and may have experienced yourself first-hand) taking the chance out of getting that next Workamping opportunity you want is easier said than done.
