Working a seasonal gig is taking on a lifestyle as well as a job. Some of us who lived for years as "double-seasonals", working one job in the summer then packing up and heading to another for the winter, think you might find some of the resources here to be useful.

Roommates, Rides, Resumes, Etc.
