Living in employee housing at a seasonal job is definitely and experience! Let me know below if you have any additional questions on the topic that I missed in the video.
Hi, howdy, do you know of any agencies that recruit employees for temporary jobs? I know of a few that hire all over the world. I know agencies keep a percentage of the salary you are earning, but they have a much more direct connection with the employer and can process H2B visas. It is one of my dreams to work abroad, I want to learn about other cultures. Greetings
@@andresespinoza2559 lookup Leader Creek Fisheries. The season just ended but I want to say they start taking applications at the end if the year until maybe the beginning of May. And then the season starts in June through July. Its definitely an experience.
@@breandadavis3168 do you mind going into detail about your experience? I’m interested in this lifestyle and am curious to know anything I can about it
@@gravyhippo I did it for 1 season in 2019. Didnt the next year because of COVID but havent been back since just cause life happened. My season lasted from beginning of June to the end of July but some seasons last longer or shorter than others. I made $4500 in those 2 months, which was really awesome, but it's not easy money. We worked 20 consecutive 16 hr shifts. Some departments are more difficult than others though and you dont know which department you'll wind up in. They fly you out of Seattle to Anchorage and back but you have to initially get to Seattle. Alaska is beautiful. You see bears just right outside the door. The moon is orange and only comes out for like 4 hours. Its really neat experience regardless of how shitty the job can be sometimes. But there are people you'll meet there that you'd be glad you went. And some you could have probably went your whole life not knowing lol but yeah know, those hours can make anyone hell to be around. The fishery I worked for was called Leader Creek, one of the nicer ones from what I've heard from people who've worked multiple fishery jobs
@packleader1215 Yes! I think making employee housing year-round would add to staffing a Resort, also may make it harder for others to have a chance at housing. All the Resorts just need to build and provide alot more housing for employees. Some of the Chaotic jobs like being in a kitchen can result from having only seasonal employees, where as Seasoned ones, have more knowledge of operations and can help someone else get skilled in that department. I ran a dishroom at Jackson Lake Lodge and had my whole crew out sick all but 2 people who barely knew the ropes. We managed though. I'd still take that same job ANY day over slaving away in a Freezer 18 degrees or colder all day for $18hr. in the big city. At a Resort you CAN Restore Peace by going outside anywhere, a simple nap and waking up to fresh mountain air, meeting people who likely have the same interests and views in life. I've been in Indy a month and feel like dropping to my knees and crying to God "WHY!?". I miss my Mountains, even on the snowyest and coldest days! It's all worth it. City living/life IS not.
Thank you! I've done many jobs. For example working on organic farms/gardens, at hostels, so many more. I appreciate this extra info! It can be great to try adventurous things if we keep our wits about us enough!
Used to live in Breck and work for vail. I liked the housing had pretty cool friends to bunk with. Too many drugs tho . You really have to learn to say NO in Ski party towns .
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences! I'm looking to go to Alaska this summer to work for the season. Do you know of any companies that offer dog-friendly accommodations? I know that dog-friendly places tend to be difficult to find. If you know about any, I'd greatly appreciate it!
How about staying in your car, van or RV at these seasonal jobs? Also, do they care what type of RV like say it was only a teardrop or small trailer not necessarily self contained? Thanks for the video Tim!
When I feel I am ready I want to work in the season jobs but first need to make sure I have the clothes and everything that is suggested to bring with me when at a season job.
Check with the HR recruiter at the Resort. Most Resorts offer employee uniforms. The Ones in Telluride I worked at even had a drop window, where you have a big metal pin w/Your number on it and it goes to dry cleaning and you pick it up when it's ready. Compared to everyday life in a city, Resort work has it's hectic times, but is soooooooooo much easier and more simple than anything You can imagine.
@@lindaledford3061Great Idea! Also a Bed Bug plastic fitted cover/mattress cover sheet. Just to be sure! Them things can stay dormant for 6mos-a year. How do I know? I CANNOT stand bugs! I know in Wyoming and Telluride I never had to encounter such a thing, but have heard stories. You may encounter very small field mice from time to time though, don't leave crumbs on the floors, and don't leave food just sitting out, and doing Pest control for 5 yrs, definitely don't leave dirty dishes in the sink all the time (One of the worst things You can do!)..roaches are like grizzlies, especially in the summertime, if they sense food is available through a sink drain, or filth in a bathroom, there's a Good chance they will be visiting soon if that's the case. Definitely gonna need some DEET, the mosquitos are on steroids in the mtns! In Crater Lake they actually have a species that hibernate in the frost of the winter/snow, and come out full force in swarms once it gets warmer. Colorado..watch them Mtn Lions and bears!..rattlers too! (Early Morning and Dusk especially).
@mysterythekitsune2988 Bring an extra comforter, something to listen to music on (speaker/headphones), Toothpaste/brush, shampoo/conditioner, something to read maybe. I arrived at Jackson Lake Lodge Like a Prisoner Of Paradise and So Thankful for it! I had about $1100+ I had saved up previously. With 2-3 Good meals all you can eat per day, Room and Board, meals taken directly out of your check, You get sheets, a blanket, and a pillow (Not the best though). They clean the dorms and rooms for You. Don't try to sneak things you shouldn't have in your room, it's government property You will see the authorities and be removed, especially in Wyoming. I had a group of girls go with us guys to pizza hut and not pay for their breadsticks accidentally in Jackson Hole, the cops literally waited for us to leave the pizza joint, go to watch a movie, and come out of nowhere and tell us we were going to jail for the $2-3 breadsticks that didn't get paid for. We came together and got it paid for the girls, but wow! Now that's what you call Security and Enforcement! I Love Wyoming for that though! Keeps crime down really.
I recall reading (c.2003) that amateur cricket umpires were needed in England. I couldn't get an answer on the accommodation supposedly provided. £200 per week in London back then with only booze and food to pay for would have been a good gig!. Umpiring in Perth, Australia required a regular job and summer temperatures often exceeded 100°F (37°C). Cheers🍺👍
Hi Timothy, I was wondering about the tips you make, and having room mates. Do you worry about getting robbed? Thank you for all the information on seasonal jobs. I really appreciate it. Thank you, be safe.
Most of the time You don't get robbed. I did have someone borrow my electric guitar once without asking but they returned it to me when I went looking for it and someone told me who borrowed it.
@margothompson3991 Don't bring things you'd cry about if you lost it. Keep your wallet or purse on you or close by locked away. Just b/c you're in nature and away from a big city, there may still be people who ruin the experience by taking what is not theirs. Once I had a guitar and amp, and it got "borrowed" without me knowing, I heard my guitar playing through an open door window and climbed through to confront who borrowed it without asking, luckily it was someone I worked with in a nearby department at the lodge, and I got it back. Bear spray in Wyoming and Montana is a Must. Colorado, watch the Lions, they like to stalk people, especially joggers..but do not fear the wildlife, they are just as fearful to us. I encountered grizzlies and Moose and I was ok. Get your needs in town by taking the shuttle bus. Try to travel to the resort "light" Until you get a paycheck or two and can go to town.
Honestly every coolworks job I’ve had has been bunks or shared dormitory but even the last couple I worked with they separated them to men’s and women’s dorms. Unlikely you’ll share a room together or if anything a bed
Thanks for this videos Tim. Right now July 2024, My Wife and I are looking to find a resort to go to, Looking for Idaho, Wyoming, or Colorado. Looking for Year-Round with Employee Housing. We are wanting to headout this Winter or first of the new year. We are doing this in means to have our residency and ease into a renting a house in a nearby city or smaller town/city type thing. We want to be rooted in the mountains. If you or anyone else has any recommendations..Please I would Greatly Appreciate it. Thank You. Love & Blessings!
@TimothyWard Thank You Tim! Much Love & Respect! One day the grub will be on Me and We Will Break Bread together Brother! I Appreciate You in Multitudes!
Alot of them do. I know Jackson Lake Lodge did when I worked there many moons ago back in the 90's. The shuttle van usually has the lift as well. Same with Telluride.
Mike Galloway Vail resorts is good they have alot of jobs and Alaska tour jobs too it's really best to go to coolworks.com normally if you have any questions they list the emails or phone number with the company you are applying to
Very hard to get. Gotta call HR Recruiters and ask, get on a list way ahead of time, they go super fast! I know Telluride resorts usually are completely year round and close down twice a year for 3 weeks at a time where they then renovate and upkeep the Resort and such. You gotta save money ahead of time to prepare for that time period.
Would you consider a 6 or 10 people bedrooms descent ? No option to cook only the canteen. No dedicated outside area to have a break. The human ressens staff members would without warning. People had to cross the resort for drinkable water. All thi in a 5* luxury hotels.
@saliob32 Never came across that. I had My own water I bought in town. If a shuttle goes to town, Trust me, it's in your best interest to buy 1 or 2 coolers and stick it by an open window or fill it with ice at the lodge when you're there, even fill it with snow, I did. Get snacks in town when you go. Get you some Ramen for those snow days. We were able to have beers in our coolers in the dorms. Don't bring anything you'd cry about if it went missing, just saying. Most of All, enjoy Nature..it's gonna be your Best Friend while working at Resorts.
Can you tell me what places you seen or heard about that have really nice housing? Have you worked at MT. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge or Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge? What places would you recommend that have single person rooms with own bathroom or 2 person housing with own bathroom. I rather have my own bathroom lol
Not many have really nice housing. It usually is what it is, a basic room and a bed, if you're lucky 2-3 meals all you can eat per day..Good food generally.
I did alot of resort living and working. In Wyoming my roommate and I were cool. Kept quiet for each other. I played my guitar quietly on days off during Respectable times. I even had an ice chest full of beer and when he ran out we had a rule (If you run out, take some, leave me some, and replace what ya take). Good times.

Do you feel like these employers are taking advantage of you, exploiting you? If you're not able to save enough to advance yourself, then they're not paying a reasonable wage. What is their value of your work, the financial benefit to them of your work? Does what they pay you reflect that?
Andrea Wisner I concur. However, the places that provide free room and board, or waaay below market price room and board is nice. Housing is most people's highest monthly cost. I would save my earnings. But I expect to be able to save at least $7.500 to $10 g's in six months or so if I don't have to pay rent, but if you're getting paid $13.00 an hour..not so much. You can still save, but it will take longer. You really have to be strategic. For instance, I'm a nurse, that lives in a rooming house in Jersey. It allows me to save significantly because I'm not paying $2000 a month in RENT like my CPA niece is! Choices and priorities.
Seriously, from a Man who has worked and lived Crater Lake, Telluride, Jackson (WY)/Yellowstone, and Key West. In Key West I got that, only b/c most people don't speak English, they are Haitian, Cuban, Puerto Rican, or Spanish and if you work in housekeeping, Good Luck!

Living in employee housing at a seasonal job is definitely and experience! Let me know below if you have any additional questions on the topic that I missed in the video.
Is it possible to bring you spouse if they are not going to be an employee and pay double for you and them deducted from your pay?
female and male housing - how does that work
Hey Timothy Ward, I just recently applied for a seasonal Park ranger position. Where do I find info for employee housing with National park service?
Hi, howdy, do you know of any agencies that recruit employees for temporary jobs? I know of a few that hire all over the world. I know agencies keep a percentage of the salary you are earning, but they have a much more direct connection with the employer and can process H2B visas.

Any suggestions if there is a couple?
Was looking at Sun Valley or Colorado, and Wyoming resorts.
Getting ready to head to Alaska for the Salmon run. Never did anything like this before. I have found your videos very informative. Thank you sir!
Glad my videos could help. Have fun in Alaska!!!!

Room and Board should be more common even outside of seasonal jobs.

This was really helpful, I love it!
VALUABLE INFORMATION THANKS FOR SHARING 🤗😉
Have you done any videos highlighting the differences between all the seasonal jobs you've held as far as the employers/housing/food/park experience?
Yes, there are places that charge by the week and there are those that want a deposit, yes.
Thanks! Very thorough review of housing for beginners!
No problem, I hope it helped
Question. Is there a kitchen for employees to use on days off?
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences! I'm looking to go to Alaska this summer to work for the season. Do you know of any companies that offer dog-friendly accommodations? I know that dog-friendly places tend to be difficult to find. If you know about any, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Motorhome Nation most companies won’t care as long as your clean and shower basically look presentable
When I feel I am ready I want to work in the season jobs but first need to make sure I have the clothes and everything that is suggested to bring with me when at a season job.
I have a small notebook that is being filled with ideas! A matress foam topper is #1.
Check with the HR recruiter at the Resort.

Did you ever live in your van at a job?

When I had a room mate I never had to worry about being robbed. No, nothing like that.

Get your needs in town by taking the shuttle bus.
Try to travel to the resort "light"
Until you get a paycheck or two and can go to town.
Have you ever had a bad experience with rodents and/or bugs in your housing. If so is this something that is infrequent?
One summer I was in Colorado and one of the girls at the dormitory had bed bugs. Nobody else, just her.
Wifi?
most places do have wifi, unless mountains of Cooke city in Montana it can be iffy. Be sure to ask.
Ive been 20 years in the army. simple lodging accommodations don't bother me.
It's just that..like a Barack, but dorm style.
More Peaceful of course though.
Question. if my wife and i work as a couple, what kind of housing is typical?
Me and my husband would like to know as well . Thank you
Honestly every coolworks job I’ve had has been bunks or shared dormitory but even the last couple I worked with they separated them to men’s and women’s dorms. Unlikely you’ll share a room together or if anything a bed
Separate rooms or if you are couples you have to provide your own room or place to live or stay
Dorm style = 2 bunk beds or 2 singles, very rarely if you're lucky one room with a double or queen size bed, sometimes one room with 2 single beds.
Thanks for this videos Tim.

What about housing for women are they secured and what about background checking?
I need to know also
Most places do background checks and housing is always separated between men and women’s housing however they’re never really “secure” just separated
Normally housing for women is separate, depending on the company could be loose and coed, others might be strict separate unless you are married, etc.
I'm a paraplegic and I am wondering if accessibility for housing is available to those with a disability (jobs for the disabled).
Alot of them do. I know Jackson Lake Lodge did when I worked there many moons ago back in the 90's. The shuttle van usually has the lift as well. Same with Telluride.
Witch company should we try to apply to?? You sound like you have a few in mind.. That would be a great help to know.Thank you for this info...
Mike Galloway Vail resorts is good they have alot of jobs and Alaska tour jobs too it's really best to go to coolworks.com normally if you have any questions they list the emails or phone number with the company you are applying to
Thank you I can't believe I spelled which wrong
Most States that are costly, will reflect the Resort costs as well.
What about dorms for year round associates?
Very hard to get.
Gotta call HR Recruiters and ask, get on a list way ahead of time, they go super fast!
I know Telluride resorts usually are completely year round and close down twice a year for 3 weeks at a time where they then renovate and upkeep the Resort and such. You gotta save money ahead of time to prepare for that time period.
Would you consider a 6 or 10 people bedrooms descent ?
No option to cook only the canteen. No dedicated outside area to have a break.
The human ressens staff members would without warning.
People had to cross the resort for drinkable water.
All thi in a 5* luxury hotels.
@saliob32 Never came across that.
I had My own water I bought in town. If a shuttle goes to town, Trust me, it's in your best interest to buy 1 or 2 coolers and stick it by an open window or fill it with ice at the lodge when you're there, even fill it with snow, I did.
Get snacks in town when you go.
Get you some Ramen for those snow days.
We were able to have beers in our coolers in the dorms.
Don't bring anything you'd cry about if it went missing, just saying.

Do you have a video about your roommate bad experience?
I did alot of resort living and working. In Wyoming my roommate and I were cool. Kept quiet for each other. I played my guitar quietly on days off during Respectable times.

Good times.
whats the website??

Hi, howdy, do you know of any agencies that recruit employees for temporary jobs? I know of a few that hire all over the world. I know agencies keep a percentage of the salary you are earning, but they have a much more direct connection with the employer and can process H2B visas.
It is one of my dreams to work abroad, I want to learn about other cultures.
Greetings
do they take dogs?
Most seasonal places will not allow you to have a dog in employee housing.
Maybe a seeing eye dog.. although dogs would be better company than people Maybe get a seasonal job at a dog kennel or something. Good luck.
Do you feel like these employers are taking advantage of you, exploiting you? If you're not able to save enough to advance yourself, then they're not paying a reasonable wage. What is their value of your work, the financial benefit to them of your work? Does what they pay you reflect that?
Andrea Wisner I concur. However, the places that provide free room and board, or waaay below market price room and board is nice. Housing is most people's highest monthly cost. I would save my earnings. But I expect to be able to save at least $7.500 to $10 g's in six months or so if I don't have to pay rent, but if you're getting paid $13.00 an hour..not so much. You can still save, but it will take longer. You really have to be strategic. For instance, I'm a nurse, that lives in a rooming house in Jersey. It allows me to save significantly because I'm not paying $2000 a month in RENT like my CPA niece is! Choices and priorities.
