So today's video is going to be about remote work. Recently we've been getting
a lot of questions from people, people asking us what do full-time RVs do for
work. Some people aren't as internet savvy, some are, some people do their
research and know a lot of these places already, but there are still some of you that do
not know and don't know where to look or there may be some sites out there that
nobody has heard of before. So we decided to make this video, realizing that there
are a lot of people out there looking for remote work... especially now during
these trying times, during this pandemic. Either way...
stick around and hopefully you may just pick up a couple bits of information you
didn't know about!

helps. So with that all being said there are many job sites out there that are
available, so we kind of hand-picked a few of our top favorites when we first
started doing our research of our vision living full-time in an RV the biggest
hurdle that we needed to get over was finding Michelle a remote job for her
line of work I was already working remotely at the time but Michelle didn't
think there was any way possible that her employer was going to allow her to
work remotely we started doing our research we found this company that
claimed to screen all of their jobs and 100% of the jobs were legit long story
short we purchased a month membership with the company just to test it out and
see what we could find Michelle found a great job for a great company so she
gave her notice to her current employer and they came back to her and said we
stay if we allow you to work remotely so she stayed with their current company
for the simplicity of less stress which really made it work out really well
better on her she didn't have something else to worry about at the time so if
you get anything out of this video one thing that you should take with you is
it never hurts to ask if you're in a position that it's actually possible
it just never hurts to ask the site she used was called Flex jobs you may have
heard of Flex jobs before but let me show you how it works
let's pick let's say a teacher for instance in the search and then here
you'll see that there's a bunch of teacher jobs that came up see a lot of
part-time full-time and then over to the left job type you want to select
employee if you're not looking for a freelance or temporary work
and then down below select full-time and go down a little bit further and where
it says remote work level you want to select the 100% remote work that way now
all the jobs here are all 100% remote because some of the jobs that you will
search for if you do not select this will just be sometimes remote won't be
100% remote which if you're gonna live full-time in an RV you need that to be
100% remote also down on the left hand side scroll down further go all the way
to the bottom where it says willing to travel now you want to select no you
want to be completely 100% free and travel wherever you want to go you need
to make sure you select that here's your pricing for 1495 for one month three
months is 29.95 and one year for 49.95 and again we recommend just doing a
month service to see how you like the service okay so the next job source I
want to talk about is one that I've personally had some experience with and
that is FEMA the Federal Emergency Management Agency and they have what's
called a reservist or on-call position and don't get discouraged by that
because there were a lot of people that made these permanent full-time jobs and
kept working year-round is what I mean by that because of the type of work
they're in and the only way really to do that is get in on the public assistance
side and there's an individual assistance side which works with homes
and the public assistance side that works with your cities in your counties
and your state and your your tribal governments so there's various positions
and for the most part they're looking for what used to be called project
specialists or site inspectors the assess damage right the project
worksheets and things of that nature so the only downfall to this is if you're
wanting to live full-time in an RV and work for FEMA at the same time you're at
the mercy of FEMA where you're going to be all the time and you could be sitting
in one place for quite a long time if you stay on a deployment for the
entire duration as long as they need you you typically typically get sent
directly to another disaster to work on another disaster right from there if you
leave early before your assignment is completely finished which you can then
you're going to go back sit at home or wherever you're traveling to and waiting
for another deployment request and sometimes that could take a while so the
things they do pay for or they pay for a rental car or your hotel and they give
you per diem a daily per diem and that varies depending on the location so you
end up making some good money and on a lot of disasters you work a lot of
overtime as well when I was working there did know a few people living in
their RV and they arranged it so that they were actually instead of getting
that money for the hotel they were getting the money as if they were
staying in a hotel and they were using it they their payment on their RV again
I don't know a lot about the details of that and not sure how exactly those very
few people made that work but again this this would work really well for somebody
that doesn't care to come home all the time or if you're traveling in an RV and
you don't really care where you go and you just go from one place to the other
that would work really well I know it used to be you could decline up to three
deployments in a year's time and I'm not sure if that's still the case or not but
I thought I would throw this out there because it is another option and if
there's anybody out there that is desperate needing work really bad and I
hate to use the word desperate when I mentioned the name FEMA but it is a
high-stress job and you are at the mercy again of where they want you to go so
you got to keep that in mind as well the website you want to go to is careers dot
fema.gov slash on-call and it'll take you to this page here there's a video
you watch you've got your recovery you've got your
response there's different sides of FEMA and even like within your disaster
recovery you've got many positions you've got IT I mean you've got planning
you've got all different sorts of positions
they're even have HR and payroll but the one thing to keep in mind here is that
there's certain positions that'll allow you to work longer and those are the
ones that people make permanent full-time jobs out of these even though
they say reservist or on-call positions one of those is the project specialist
which is now called the site inspector the last I knew that's what it was
called here's here's how you apply you send your resume to FEMA - careers at
FEMA dot DHS gov and I'll put a link there down below for that another place
you can go is usajobs.gov you can set your account up here you can here in the
keywords you can put you know site inspector or just put FEMA and see what
jobs come up available and then you'll be looking for your near reservists
position or your on-call positions and then another source that you can go to
which is kind of a work camping physicians and those you can get you can
get full-time jobs or you can get seasonal get just jobs to work like ten
fifteen or twenty hours a week for your campsite and there's a few places for
those and one we have on our website which you can go to live in our vision
comm slash resources and scroll down to the bottom click on that office Drift
icon there this will take you to office drift comm which is another way you can
get there and here you'll come to a website where you can search for jobs
and it'll have a list of jobs as well or you can search by keyword and then
there's another website which a lot of you may have already heard of which is
work camper News so work camper dot-com they have an intro which is free and you
don't get a lot of stuff with that you don't get to see all of the different
jobs that are available then they have a gold for 1995 a year a diamond for 47 95
a year and the platinum for 67 dollars a year and of course each level is going
to give you a little bit now we did sign up for this just to see
what is out there we went ahead and got the diamond membership and with the
diamond this is what our dashboard looks like you have a resume builder you have
all sorts of different tools here and you get a list of all the jobs that are
available and you get them a little quicker than they send to the lower
levels hotline jobs this is where you click to see all jobs as you probably
know there is a lot of job sites out there there's hundreds and hundreds of
job search sites and a lot of times you'll get some of the same jobs that'll
show up and repeat on some of these other sites what we were trying to do
today is to give you a few sites that you're not gonna find duplicates
especially like the FEMA website so hopefully this has been helpful to you
and if so don't forget to give it a big thumbs up we'd really appreciate that
