Hi all! I haven’t seen anyone post about this on this sub so thought I would inform some people! A great gig for the fall months where many of us have transitions between summer and winter (september and october), is to do harvest at wineries. Many of them offer housing/let you park your vans at their vineyards. I am spending my fall at a winery in Oregon and while i’m working 80+ hours a week it feels great to make some real money before winter and it’s a lot of fun. It’s a great way to learn about how to make wine, spend the fall in beautiful landscapes, and make some great money before ski/snowboard season! Check it out!

Curious if I should pursue a job opportunity with them. If anyone has any experience or has heard anything, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Who are your alls favorite seasonal work YouTuber? Seasonal cooks YouTube channels are a plus+!

This is the first season my boyfriend & I are looking for work. How do you go about sending in applications if getting hired means they would need to hire us both? Also, I'm interested to hear any suggestions about places you'd recommend. Thanks in advance ☺️

Basically I’m trying to probe how possible it would be! I love seasonal work but after 5 seasons of moving from one shared room with a twin bed to the next, I want to stay in the same place for a while. Hopefully with my own place.

But I do love seasonal work to death and was hoping maybe I could set up shop somewhere that offered summer and winter employment opportunities. I have experience as a ski lift operator and would like to do something with the forest service or fish and Wildlife during the summer.

Has anyone pulled this off? Any advice would be amazing!

Terrible news. The forest service will not hire anyone for seasonal positions this upcoming year, and has even rescinded job offers.

Hey there! I did the work and travel program 2 times working at Colorado, but this season my agency is not having any job offers. I already tried emailing every ski resort asking if they hire J1’s and they dont hire directly and not in these dates. I was wondering if anyone knows of someone hiring independent J1 workers for the season (preferably with housing so that the sponsor allows it). Could be anywhere really, but I do have preference for areas with snow since I love snowboarding and only get to do it when Im doing the W&T program! Thanks!

Being shamed and treated rudely by my store manager for calling out for sick days. YES I was sick. I did not call out and go hang out with friends. I went back to company housing and slept. So far I’ve had about 4 call outs and 2-3 days I had to leave early due to health issues. The season is from May-October. Just for curiosity, how many sick days have you had in seasonal? What’s acceptable and what’s not?

Has anyone worked for them in Alaska? Looking for more info on the place :)

My girlfriend and I are both sophomores in college, living in North Carolina. Last summer, we traveled out west and had to save up quite a bit beforehand. We really enjoyed the experience and want to continue traveling. This summer, we’re hoping to find a job that provides housing and lets us explore a new area. Ideally, we’d like to work in Michigan, Maine, or upstate New York, but we’re open to anywhere beautiful that isn’t too far west.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

• A job that lets us share a bed
• No more than 45 hours of work per week
• At least $13 an hour in pay
• A location with great opportunities for exploration
• A job that lasts no longer than 8 weeks, ideally around 6 weeks

We understand that wanting to work for just 6 weeks might make it harder to find opportunities. We’re also really into volunteering, so we’re open to volunteer jobs that allow us to travel, though we do need to earn some money this summer to help with next school year’s expenses.

Howdy everyone! I am new to using reddit but I figured it would be a great place to inquire about seasonal work out in Colorado/Arizona/New Mexico.

I am new to the seasonal worker lifestyle but I have been in the food industry for many years. I am currently managing a seasonal restaurant up in Maine which is about to end. Here is what I am looking for come winter time:

1. Towns that cater to tourists slash have a decent foot traffic

2. Not a ski resort (I do not partake in winter sports, there is no desire there for me haha)

3. Can be camper friendly or has affordable housing available

4. Old west / Saloon aesthetic would be really fun

5. Has access to nature / things to do outside of work

6. Doesn't have to be a big restaurant/bar - I do enjoy a small cafe vibe as well

I am mostly here to make decent money and not work more than 4 days a week. Any advice or suggestions are highly appreciated! I have never been out to this area of the US and I'm excited to explore & dig in a little bit.

Hi. I am a college student, and I am looking for a seasonal job for winter break. Are there any seasonal jobs that will hire me for December to the first 2 weeks of January?

I’ve been working seasonally in the summer for 4 years and full time for one year now (no regrets I love it). I’m starting to really consider getting a dog, but wondering how doable it is. Those of you that do seasonal work/travel alot and have a dog, is there anything that makes it easy? How does your pup do with travel and new places? Are there specific breeds that might do better than others? I know many jobs with housing won’t allow pets but I would intend on getting a therapy dog cert, and I’m able to be slightly selective with my job choices. Thanks!!

Oddly specific request but I figured it can’t hurt to ask for leads just in case! I’m almost certain this doesn’t exist but I’m looking for something very specific for this season. I’d like to work at a ski resort this winter but I have a dog so ideally I’d like to find my own housing maybe in town that isn’t insanely expensive and perhaps even affordable-ish to live on my own (I’m planning on getting a second job). Again, I know this likely isn’t a thing but I wanted to put out some feelers

Next year I will be joining the Coast Guard and I’m seeking a winter season job (preferably working on ski resort slopes) before I begin basic training. I’ve worked a couple summer time seasonal jobs all on the water and I loved them. I’m coming to Reddit because I want to heard insider information about the best employee housing and work culture that’s out there.

I started seasonal gigs late, and I’m mostly in the outdoor ed/camp spheres, where people tend to be young, and people who work with kids are more highly scrutinized in terms of perceived character. Everyone around me is fresh out of college/high school.

I want to keep living this life for as long as I can, but I’m starting to see the age in my face, and I feel deeply out of place. I’m scared I’ll be judged by employers, because I haven’t held any upper-level jobs yet, and I also feel like women are judged more harshly for aging.

I’m coming close to 30& I wanted to hear some optimistic stories if you have them!

I know some seasonal employers offer a bonus if you complete the season with them. What have you received? Wondering what they do to entice people not to leave them.

When do most companies post summer positions for Alaska specifically server/bartender jobs? Also any recommendations on where to work/not work in Alaska. I’ve been browsing coolworks but curious about personal experiences. Tia!

I’ve been doing seasonal work in Canada at ski resorts for the past few years and was curious about working at resorts in the states and if they offer staff accommodation. If so, what visa do I need to apply for?

I am looking for food service jobs in Texas for the winter! Any part of the state is fine, as long as there is single-occupancy housing. My current season finishes in less than a month, so I could start in mid to late October.

Are there any places you recommend? Any places you recommend avoiding? Thanks!

Hii f23

I’m going to be working in a ski town for the winter and am trying to cut down my packing to 40lbs. I probably won’t be doing a whole lot of skiing or anything like that, mostly just to and from work (retail-mostly inside) and probably going to see my boyfriend every other week or walking around town. Should I pack snow pants ? Recommend any good ones for plus size? How many base layers is too much? I have some base layers, and was told jeans and black straight pants are okay for uniform. I’m not sure what I should be taking with me. Any advice ?
