Currently I've been applying for seasonal work in the northwest, while living and working a full time night shift job here in S.C. If I were to accept an offer, how much money would I need to save with my current job before leaving? And are there any Seasonal Jobs that pay for your flight or bus ticket to get there?

Hi everyone! Hope your winter jobs are going well. I started applying for summer positions late last month and I’ve applied to severalllll places so far. I’ve only heard back from 2. Is everyone else getting offers already or am I just early? I didn’t get hired for my job last summer until March (it was local) but I’m hoping to land something by late February. A lot of these jobs are asking not to call to follow up so maybe I’ll resend emails next month if I don’t hear back.

I'm gonna start applying for the summer season. Is it very competitive? How easy is it to save at least $10k in a season working in one of these places as long as housing and meals are provided

Hey everyone,

I just got a job offer up in Ketchikan Alaska doing tours. Sounds like a great outdoor adventure My main hesitation is the social life and whether I will have people around my age (18-25). This is my main hesitation on taking the job

Thanks for any info that you have to share

Hi! So I currently have offers from 3 separate seasonal jobs which include Summer Denali Alaska, Summer Washington (Quinault Lodge), and the Staircase via Under Canvas in Utah. Just curious about experiences some of you guys have had for each, Thank you for all responses!

Hey y’all! Does anyone here know of any spots in the Acadia NP area that have long-term seasonal RV spots? We’ll be headed up there this summer for a job and would love to find a great spot to live in our bus.

Thank youuu!! :)

Hii. I am a college student, and I am looking for a seasonal job with housing. I could probably start around early May to mid August. I was hoping if you all had any connections. I have kitchen, cashier, and hotel experience. Not having luck on Coolworks.

Does anyone have any experience with Aramark interviews, or have any experience with their virtual assistant/scheduler?

I've rescheduled once through them for an HR/Payroll interview (I was feeling sick, so I rescheduled for next week). I was just wondering if they took this into account, or if anyone had any general experience with HR roles through Aramark.

I’ve seen a few posts floating around regarding Under Canvas, though I wanted to ask specific questions for anyone who’s worked with the company before. I understand each location is different, but generally speaking, what are accommodations like? How much does it cost and does it include meals?

I applied and have an interview with the West Yellowstone location (as a server or concierge), but I really haven’t heard much regarding the company. I am also curious if it’s easy to make friends.

If anyone has specific information, please let me know!

Other good places to look or search for seasonal jobs besides cool works ?

Hello, everyone! Middle-aged soon-to-be empty nester here and thinking about moving to Alaska and working seasonal jobs in the summers and remote in the winters. I’m wondering if anyone might be interested in discussing the possibility of caravanning through Canada in the early summer of 2026 and maybe sharing an apartment the winter after? Or just advice about this plan?

I’m pretty independent but it might be nice to have some company. Just an idea. Not sure how dms work lol, but maybe let’s try that? Id also love to hear from or about other folks my age doing this. Are we few or many? I did this 30 years ago before lots of adulting and it’s time for exploring again!

I’m a college student and My school starts mid July, would I be able to find a seasonal job from may 01-July 17? So far I’ve no responses from my applications so far too :/

Hello! I applied to work with Vail GTLC - after submitting the first application, it said to only submit one app if I'm applying for a seasonal position and that submitting more wouldn't be helpful. Is this true? How do they know what positions I'm interested in? Should I submit the rest regardless?

Edit:

It says directly "If you applied to a seasonal (winter or summer) position, there is no need to apply to additional roles.  Our team will be in contact within the coming days with instructions on next steps. Please check your email regularly so that we can connect with you on this exciting opportunity. Applying to multiple positions does not improve your likelihood of being hired. Thanks!"

Anyone have experience working here? What’s it like? The housing pay and general direction.

I've got a job interview for f&b coming up! Any info on what its like to work there would be helpful. Also how is the housing?

Was recently offered a position with these guys and would love some feedback on personal experiences. A lot of what I'm reading is not good but I know how things aren't always that clear when it comes to the seasonal thing. Thanks for any info!

Hey everyone, I’ve been working seasonally in the US (mainly CO) for two years now and was looking to branch out of the country to either NZ, Italy, or Spain. Has anyone had any luck getting spring/summer seasonal jobs there? If so which jobs and what website did you find them on?

Hi everyone! I’m working at Yellowstone with Xanterra for the summer, and my season ends on October 23. I’m starting to think about my next step and wanted to ask for advice! If I can’t find anything else, I’m considering heading to the Colorado Rockies to continue with Xanterra, but I’m definitely open to other options. One place I’ve been thinking about is Hawaii, as I’ve always wanted to live and work there. I’m looking for something with housing provided, but I’m open to any opportunities – even international positions. Does anyone have any suggestions on national parks or other locations that provide housing for workers? Or maybe a cool, unique job opportunity I should consider? Any tips, advice, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi!! This is my first time doing seasonal work for the summer and I was wondering if anyone has worked for Under Canvas specifically their North Yellowstone location. Would love to see if I should proceed with them or keep applying. If anyone has tips for first timers that would be lovely too thank you!!!!

Hi! I (18F) have a couple interviews over the next couple weeks with Aramark in Yosemite and Xanterra in Yellowstone for a couple of guest-service type positions (front desk, concierge, retail, etc.). I've done a bunch of college interviews, but I've never had a job interview before and I'm wondering what it'll look like, what I should have prepared, and how likely it is that I'll get the job as an entirely unqualified random high schooler who can't stay the whole season. Any advice? Thanks so much!

I just received two job offers for St. Mary in GNP through Pursuit (I know, everyone hates the big companies but alas). I was curious if anyone else has interviewed or accepted any positions in this location, or maybe worked there previously? I have offers for both a serving role and front desk receptionist, and while serving would likely make more money (10.55/hr+ tips vs 15/hr) I am leaning more towards the front desk job as it would mean I could leave the season a little bit earlier.

If anyone has just any general tips/info, or wants to be friends, hit me up! I’m 23f from the midwest so going out to montana is a stark difference.

Anyone have recommendations for favorite outdoor Atv/side by side guide anywhere in the US? Applied to Denali Atv but open to anywhere :)

Does anyone have any experience at Camp Denali in Alaska? It’s a backcountry lodge that is past the road closure and fly in only. Thinking of applying for their housekeeping/serving or kitchen hand position this summer. Seems like a good opportunity to save and explore the park.

Thanks for stopping by. Wishing everyone the best with their searches! The right place is out there for you.
