Don’t sell yourself short; an interview is your time to shine!

While scouring the help wanted ads, you found the ideal Workamping job for you. So, you create an awesome resume, submit it to the employer and cross your fingers. A short time later, you get the call you’ve been waiting for – the company wants to interview you for the job.

This is a critical step in the application process. Your resume gets you noticed by an employer, but the interview seals the deal.

The Workamping experience can be frustrating when expectations are not met. The best way to improve expectations is by ensuring you have a very good idea of everything a Workamper opportunity will entail before you and your RV roll in to start a new job.

It’s possible that an interview can go very well and a job seem like a perfect match because the employer and Workamper made a great connection over the phone or via webinar. Later, things can sour when one or the other’s expectations aren’t being met.

You’ve found a great job with a wonderful company in a fabulous location. You couldn’t be more excited about your next Workamping gig.

Let’s face it. Understanding math can be hard. You have basic math where 2 + 2 = 4 and 8 x 7 = 56, but it gets increasingly complicated.

There is algebra when 6X x 3Y = Z. And, in geometry, the circumference of a circle is calculated by multiplying its diameter by (Pi or π).

With calculus, there are complex equations like limx→a−f(x)=limx→a+f(x)=limx→af(x)=f(a).

Below are typical questions that an employer would ask a potential employee. Robert and I turn the questions around and ask the potential employer the questions!

We learned some good things from last summer's experience.  Get a written contract with the details of job included as well as the length of time. Most of all, be sure you (the employee) have a real good understanding of the expectations of the employer and of yourself as it relates to the job.

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.
