Gear Talk

So, it's April on Wednesday. No joke! Do you have your summer job yet? Yes? Well, congratulations and I bet you're excited. No? Well, no worries, because there is still time to snag a job in a great place. Check the What's New page to see the latest and greatest summer job opportunities at any time, and if you needed a job yesterday, check out the Help Wanted Now page for employers seeking employees immediately.

Now to those of you who do have your summer jobs and you're chomping at the bit to "get outta dodge," you probably have a long list of outdoor activities you want to do once you get to your summer job and might have no idea what type of gear you may need. To aid you in the endeavor for post-work fun, we recently created a group called Gear Talk on My CoolWorks to cover just such questions. We hope that this group will be a melting pot for everyone to share their shopping secrets and favorite stores for getting themselves ready for their summer fun. Plus, another cool benefit for you is that CoolWorks.com has secured discounts for our tribe from some of our favorite vendors so by clicking on the ads in that group, you'll get deals on the things you may have already planned on buying. So, please join in the discussion and take advantage of discounts on gear too because we all know that the best part of a summer job in a great place is the fun you get to have when the work day is done.

Lastly, some members of our tribe have set up other groups by hobbies and activities so you can connect with people who like to do the same stuff as you.
