Is your Awesome Applicants® Resumé working for you? If not, you may need to do some fine tuning. Let us help with the following tips.
Tip 1: If you do not have photos posted on your resumé, I would encourage you do so. Your photos should be a closeup head and shoulder shot of anyone listed on the resumé, and a profile view of your rig. Keep your photos up to date. If you purchase a new rig, get a quality profile view of the rig on your resumé right away.
Many employers make the mistake of thinking the Workamper is just like their local hire. That just isn’t the case! Just as I encourage the Workamper to put themselves in the shoes of the employer to help them understand where the employer is coming from, I would encourage you to do the same.
Your staff is hired and they have arrived! They are ready for their next experience. This is one of the key elements in keeping your Workamper staff once you have them hired – they are ready for an experience!
Do you have RVers who come to your operation and then leave due to technical problems with their RV? Would it be helpful to have staff that have training in general RV troubleshooting and repair working for you in your operation?
That is what RV Maintenance Technician Training is all about!
Imagine having someone on your staff - either a seasonal Workamper or local hire - who has been trained to provide your RVing customers with general RV maintenance...with the goal to keep them with you instead of leaving your business to find a dealership with a repair bay.
All Workampers are not right for all jobs. Employers must screen applicants to ensure that they are suitable for the position being filled. During the interview process, employers should be certain that all applicants fully understand what will be expected of them. Problems between Workampers and employers are usually a result of miscommunication. Being clear up front can prevent misunderstandings later.
You can answer this question by putting yourself in the shoes of the reader. When you read an ad that maintains your interest and causes your heart rate to increase, you are experiencing a magical allure. This is developed through thoughtful crafting by the employer who understands that Workampers are not as interested in the job as they are the experience.
I have seen first-hand how some Help Wanted ads, published in Workamper News magazine or in the online Hotline ad system, seemingly create a magical allure of interest! While others appear to be almost invisible on the printed page or on the Hotline email! What is it that causes this mystical difference?

If you could sit around a campground campfire with a number of Workampers how would you answer these questions after listening in?
