I’ve used Coolworks for years and I love this video! When anyone else asks me how I’ve gotten into seasonal work I’m going to recommend this video:)
Yes coolworks is amazing! Thanks for the recommendation!
Stumbled across your videos whilst researching before my next job in Alaska. As another former NCCC member (Class 20b, Southern region!!) and someone who has used a lot of Coolworks to travel and do all sorts of random jobs everywhere in the country for the last 10ish years I love seeing videos like this!
There are so many opportunities out there to experience so many hidden aspects of life. This is all great information to anyone reading comments. If you have the opportunity to travel for some new adventure and work somewhere cool for a season or two, take it!
Hi! I love meeting other NCCC members and seasonal workers! There are so many opportunities out there and not enough info- I am glad you stumbled across my videos and hopefully others will find this info as well!
@theworkingexpat I get far too excited when I come across another NCCC alumni out and about.
These jobs let you meet some incredible people, and your experience is always changing working in seasons. I fell in love with this lifestyle a long time ago hahaha.
I always try to inform people about this type of lifestyle however most of the people I interact with already are working these types of jobs. I wish I would've had actual concise information like these videos about potential jobs or AmeriCorps back when I was getting into it!
Nice experience and explaining things 😊
Great video!!!! Super clear and explanatory!! Thanks!!!
Very thorough video with great tips!
Thank you!

Have you ever worked at the grand canyon by chance?
@@elizabethmoore3464 I have not worked at the Grand Canyon but it sounds like it would be a lot of fun!
Have you ever worked at Yellowstone club before in big sky Montana?
I have not worked there but I have heard of it/seen it on coolworks. While I dont have any info about working there, I would check employee reviews on glassdoor or reddit!
How do they normally conduct the interviews? Via phone, Skype, Zoom, etc? I imagine it's unlikely to be onsite, but I just want to be sure 😅
Hi! Yes, most seasonal jobs do their interviews over the phone, skype, or zoom!
@@theworkingexpat Thank you!
Why do some jobs stay on cool works when the position been filled already
That can be frustrating. It’s because it is the company’s job to take the job posting down but some do not, thus the job may remain for a while. Or the posting is there all the time because they are hiring that position year round/constantly.
Hi Sabrina, do they pay for flights if you live in another state or is it your responsibility to get to your destination?
Hi! Usually it is your responsibility to get there and back. However there are some seasonal jobs that are very remote that might fly you out for the season/pay for your transportation if you complete the season. Those are more rare but possible!
@@theworkingexpat Thank you!
How does the payment process work in seasonal work? Do u just use direct deposit from your local bank or something?
HI! Yes, if you are a US citizen you will just set up direct deposit with your bank just like any job. If the business you are working for does not do direct deposit then it will just be a normal paycheck that you can then deposit. Then, when it comes time for taxes you will need to file a nonresident tax return for the state you worked in (if it is not your home state).
@@theworkingexpat how would I deposit the pay check? I would have to get a bank in the area and state that I'm working in then right?
@@MarshallGrey-nm8cn It depends on the bank you have. There are many these days that have mobile apps where you can take a photo of your paycheck and electronically deposit it. But direct deposit is super common, so I would say this would be a bit more on the rare side.
Is it possible to do work there full time ?
There are many jobs on this site- a lot are seasonal but there are lots that offer work year round!
Hi Sabrina, I need your advice on this. Let’s say for example. I get 2 months summer camp season job. How will I extend my stay in the US
Hi! If you are coming over on a work VISA, depending, on what country you are from, the VISA should allow you to stay in the USA for a certain amount of time after you complete your work. For example, I have friends from the UK who had working VISAs that let them stay in the USA for up to 30days after their last day of work. This way they were able to travel around the USA for a bit before heading home.
@@theworkingexpat alright. What I actually meant was that, can I extend my stay by getting another seasonal job? Or do I have to go home for me to reapply again?
@@akpesiriabubakarcollins8881 Oh, gotcha! With that I am not sure. Each VISA is a bit different and will allow you to do different things. I am from the USA so I have never had to get a VISA to come here, and I am not sure what that process is like.
I do not want to give you the incorrect answer, so I would look into what VISAs you can get for the USA for what country you are from, and see if there is an option that allows you to do a full year of work so you can move between seasonal jobs.
@@theworkingexpat ok, I am from Nigeria, and the job start in June
does they pay for you’re housing and is the pay good (:
Hi! The job opportunities on this site all vary. Some do offer housing and some do not. The pay also completely depends on what hob you are looking for (:
does this apply to all nationalities ?
Hi! Most of the seasonal jobs posted on these types of websites do apply to international workers. However, the VISA process will vary depending on what country you come from- there are countries that are unable to get a work VISA in the USA.
Edit: Also, not all of the companies who post on these sites have the ability to hire international workers.
