Grab the Guide to Landing Your Seasonal Dream Job!

Kelcy Fowler

In July of 2016, I got to chatting with a seasonal adventurer turned blogger turned freelance writer named Susan Shain. Like so many of us, she had discovered a seasonal job at the right time in her life, and as a result, seasonal jobs and the one of a kind experiences they offer impacted her life’s path, and as she put it, “One season quickly turned into three, and seasonal jobs became the lifeblood of my 20s.”

One thing that I love about these seasonal sliding doors moments is that it’s irrelevant whether it’s in your 20’s, your 40’s, or your 60’s that you discover the seasonal lifestyle. These opportunities and adventures are valuable, enriching and accessible to people at any stage in life.

“Seasonal jobs undoubtedly changed my trajectory. They showed me that I didn’t have to get a conventional job just because that’s what everyone else was doing. Through seasonal jobs, I developed an obsession with the great outdoors, learned to travel on a budget, and met incredible people who taught me to dream bigger. Not to mention, the only reason I started writing is that I was doing something worth writing about!”  – Susan Shain

When we spoke, Susan had been working on a guide to seasonal jobs and asked if CoolWorks wanted to collaborate. Close to 19 months later, we couldn’t be more excited to share our labor of love with all of you!
