On this page you'll find links to pages and articles we think are handy, interesting, funny, wierd and oh-so useful. These could include: cool travel destinations, ski, bike, paddle techniques, gear reviews, stories from the road, or we may post things that seem competely off topic that we just like. If you have any ideas or anything to contribute, drop us an email at: feedback@coolworks.com.

Cool Works FAQ   

posted by Kari Quaas @ 4:55 PM
We realized recently, in our ongoing quest to serve our job seekers better, that we need to add a frequently asked questions (FAQ) page to our website. We certainly provide all kinds of resources for finding a summer job, seasonal job, ski resort job, or for those non-skiers out there, other winter jobs in warm places, but people want and need more.

Here is a quick summary of some of the cool things Cool Works provides to job seekers free of charge.

* "Get Started" - a page for those new to CoolWorks.com to help them find their way.
* Our own social network, My CoolWorks, where those seeking to do or learn about seasonal work can go to network with other like-minded folks already out there living the dream.
* Blogging the Dream - a blog dedicated to cool people doing cool stuff all over the world. If you're not inspired, you're not reading them all.
* Tips, Tales & Trails - a blog dedicated to whatever catches the CoolWorks team's fancy and other tips for finding a seasonal job.
* The Seasonal Worker's Guide - a page covering topics like resume tips, our ride board, travel websites, etc.
* International Job Seekers - a resource page for those people who live abroad and want to learn how to get a seasonal job in the U.S. and what visas are required.
* Work & Study Abroad - a page for U.S. citizens to go and learn ways that they can work and study around the word.
* Cool Works RSS feeds - a way for those who don't want to come back everyday to see what's new, we offer feeds for most of our pages to make your life easier.

However, even with all of this in place, we still know that it is human nature to simply ask a question rather than read what already exists. To that end, Cool Works has two emails dedicated to general questions and feedback from our users, affectionately known as the tribe. And, within in the last two weeks, we added Feedback buttons to most of our pages. Look to the right on most of our pages and it will be there at the edge.

So, as we develop our FAQ page, we would appreciate your assistance in coming up with the questions that keep you up at night or at least those you want answers to regarding summer, winter, and seasonal jobs. Help us, help you (a la Jerry Maguire).



Feel free to leave your comments here or send us an email at greatjobs@coolworks.com with your ideas, thoughts and questions. We'll do our best to answer them or throw them to the My CoolWorks tribe for their, pardon the pun, seasoned answers.

Thanks for reading!
