We believe that you can and should love your job, and we want to help make that happen! We post job opportunities in great places– everything from national parks to ski resorts to retreat centers, and everything in between. Our journal profiles the exciting stories from CoolWorkers to inspire you to take that next step. Whether you are still discovering your passion, need a seasonal career, or just feel the call to change paths, we’ve got everything you need to help you find your next great adventure.

Kind Words From Our Fans
“Thank you for the help … I met my husband when I began work for Garamin in Jackson Hole WY working at the ranch shop gift store in April 2006. He was best friends with one of my co-workers. He was born & raised in Jackson Hole – lucky! I was supposed to work in Jackson Hole for a season, but stayed for 8 years. I also met my best friend, from Poland, at that job. She applied through CoolWorks, too.”
Laina M. CoolWorks' "Graduate"
I wanted to let you know that through CoolWorks, Alaska Geographic hired four absolutely fantastic people to fill our seasonal operations in Juneau, Homer, Seward, and Portage Valley.I received applications from around 30 people, and of those, 15 were eminently qualified for the work we were offering, and were true believers in our mission to connect people to Alaska’s public lands.We feel that our new seasonal line-up is the best we have ever entered a season with and it’s because of CoolWorks’ ability to attract exactly the type of candidate that will be successful with Alaska Geographic. It’s also because you went out of your way to upload photos for me, so that I could write the most appealing ad possible. I want you to know how much we appreciate what you do! It is making a positive difference in our success.Barbara Bell Executive Director, Alaska Geographic
