Today, I’m talking with the manager of a family campground in New Hampshire about Workamping opportunities available this summer.
Robert Charest is the manager of Friendly Beaver Campground in New Boston, N.H.
Friendly Beaver is a family-owned, family-focused campground that has been in Robert’s family for more than 45 years.
In fact, Robert actually grew up there, then stepped away into the tech world for a while before returning years ago to help run the business.
In this conversation, you’ll hear what it is like to operate a campground that feels more like a close knit community, why seasonal campers are such a big part of that culture, and what kind of people tend to thrive in a busy summer environment.
If you’re looking for a Workamping position in New England, or you’re simply curious about what it takes to keep a highly-active, kid-friendly campground running smoothly, then you’ll get a clear picture of the pace, the expectations and Workamper personality traits that matter most.
Robert described the various types of Workamping help needed throughout the summer season.
Opportunities typically run from around May 1 through at least Labor Day, with the option to extend closer to early October.
Robert hires for a full range of campground roles, including store and office help, maintenance and facility cleaning as well as leading various activities.
He tries to make the schedule friendly to Workampers, including consecutive days off and matching days off for couples.
All positions are paid and include a full-hookup site with water, electric and sewer, plus free internet.
The campground’s hiring process starts by sending a resume and photos of your rig, followed by a Zoom conversation with the family leadership team and a background check.
If Friendly Beaver Campground sounds like a fit for your next Workamping stop, you can learn more at friendlybeaver.com. To apply, email your resume to [email protected].
Today’s episode was sponsored by Workamper News. Creating a resume can be a cumbersome, intimidating task – especially if you haven’t written a resume in many years.
The unique Workamper News Resume Builder takes you through a step-by-step process to build a complete resume with all the information Workamper employers are looking for when reviewing applications.
Once complete, your resume can be emailed to anyone, and the software tracks when and who you have sent it to. You can print out the resume or make it into a PDF which can then be uploaded or emailed.
Some employers NEVER ADVERTISE – not via Workamper.com or anywhere else. They find all of their applicants just by searching the Workamper News resume database. If you don’t have a resume in the Workamper.com database, you will be missing out on some opportunities.
To open the door to more Workamping jobs, become a Workamper member today by visiting www.workamper.com.
That’s all for this week’s show. As everyone is gearing up for a busy summer, there are lots of employers looking for help. Next week, I will feature another employer with multiple opportunities in several states in the Midwest and along the east coast.
I’ll have that interview on the next episode of The Workamper Show. Thank you for listening!
