Don’t Get Caught in Your Own Ooops !

Don’t Get Caught in Your Own Ooops!

You have finished your summer Workamping experienced and are thinking ahead to the future!  There are many opportunities to consider, and you are not sure which ones to pursue!  Some are more desirable than others for numerous reasons.  May the geographic location!  Possibly the industry is something that interests you?  Or there is family that lives near that you would like to have the opportunity to connect with once again?

So what method are you using to make your decision and then go after the opportunity the meets your WANT?  Are you using the Gatling gun approach where you send out numerous resumes and site back?  Or, have you decided that you don’t need to worry about it yet.  It is early and you have plenty of time?

All of the above are valid questions that I would encourage you to consider.  I hope you have a desire to provide yourself with the very best Workamping experience possible.  An experience that will answer your WANTS!   One that will be worthy of your very valuable non-recoverable asset – time.

So don’t get caught in your Ooops!  Take control of your future Workamping experiences by learning how to market yourself more effectively, so the employer you WANT to work for is rolling out their red carpet to you.

You have the opportunity to learn how to develop your Personal Marketing Strategy through an online webinar series.  This course is currently being taught by Steve Anderson, Editor and experienced Human Resource Director with over 10,000 Workamper interviews in his past experience.  To learn more visit www.workamper.com/fivesecrets .  If you are a Club Workamper member you will also find a link to the course on the Club Workamper website once you have logged in.

Don’t get caught in your own Ooops this coming summer!  Take action today to acquire the very best for your future!

You can easily submit a change of address online once you have logged into www.workamper.com .  When you login you will see that the Login tab changes to Log out and Settings.  Click that tab and you will have a list of options with change your mailing address being one of them.
