In this episode we’re going to learn about what it’s like to work at Yellowstone National Park.

When I visited Yellowstone a few years ago, I fell in love and said to myself that I'd love to return to work here one day.

What's it really like to work at Yellowstone National Park? I have two guests on the show today who share their experience and knowledge about working at Yellowstone as solo women RVers.

My guests are Jan, solo woman RVer who has worked at Yellowstone for 12 years and Alden who is the Talent Acquisitions manager, who handles a lot of the hiring at Yellowstone. She shares about what it takes to get hired and succeed as a Yellowstone National Park employee.

Show Notes:

1. Qualities that make someone successful: willingness to learn, to be flexible, to be willing to be part of the community.

2. Some of the RV sites are reserved for couples, but there are still plenty of opportunities at Yellowstone for Solos—and also there is housing provided if you don’t have a fully self-contained RV.

3. Part of your salary will go toward housing—whether you’re in a dorm or in an RV. Meal plans are also offered.

4. You can work at Yellowstone with a pet, but it needs to always be on a leash. And always attended to.

5. Community is a big part of working at Yellowstone. It’s such a big park, you’re likely to find community in the district of the park you’re in.
