AUSTIN,
Texas, May 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Wondering what America's Best Summer Job looks like in
2024? How about $20,000, 30 days
of 'work' and visiting 10 iconic American destinations while
cruising 3,000 miles coast to coast in a luxury
RV?
Outdoorsy posted the position in March and extended the
application date to May 31st.
Did you say $20,000? And 3000
miles?
Yes, the winner(s) will spend 30 days this summer adventuring
across the U.S. in the RV of their choice, stopping at up to 10
iconic national parks along the way. They'll score a $20,000 prize in addition to a stipend for food
and travel expenses. That works out to roughly $150 an hour, making it one of America's
best-paid temp positions.
What do they have to do for $20k?
The 'job'? Create an active blog or
vlog along the way to document the epic road trip and all the
thrills, spills and chills along the way.
Who is doing this?
Just in time for a summer when RVing is poised to be the vacation
of choice for millions of Americans, Outdoorsy, the world's
largest RV rental marketplace, is celebrating the season by
launching a coast-to-coast competition to award America's Best
Summer Job.
"We've been blown away by the response from candidates for
America's Best Summer Job, and we've heard a lot of amazing
personal stories," said Outdoorsy CMO Jennifer Young. "It's going
to be legitimately challenging to pick the best finalists and
winners, so we really need Americans to get involved and vote for
their favourites to help us decide."
How does the competition work?
- Any American individual or couple who are 18 to 80+ can apply
with a simple 60-90 second video explaining why they and their
family - however they define it - should be hired to go on the epic
road adventure. Apply for America's Best Summer Job
here: Outdoorsy.com/bestsummerjob
- Applicants will rally friends, family and community for votes
through their own social media channels and creative outlets. Votes
will be counted and displayed online in the contest's entry
page: Outdoorsy.com/bestsummerjob
- The top 6 entries (based on votes) will be announced
as contest finalists on June 12, 2024. All finalists
will further push for votes and appear in their local media to
harness hometown support to vote for their entry online before the
winner is announced on June 21,
2024.
- Outdoorsy will choose a winning candidate from the finalists
based 40% on the interview, along with the following criteria:
20% Creativity
20% Technical ability
20% 'X' factor
Then they get 'on the road'
The successful candidate(s) will begin their trip in July or August
of 2024 (depending on their availability) and will spend the next
30 days blogging or vlogging about their experiences as they
journey to 10 of America's most iconic national parks.
Who's applied so far?
There's been many incredible stories from applicants so far
like:
Beverly Morris from
Austin, TX. The vivacious
grandmother is single-handedly raising 6 grandchildren on her own,
and hasn't had a vacation in years.
OR
Charles and Allie - 'the Trippy's' - who, along with their
daughter Remy and two dogs, have been documenting their lives every
day for the past 15 years. After Charles was diagnosed with a brain
tumour and went through many treatments, the Trippy's have decided
to 'never live life with any regrets' and travel as much as
possible as a family.
OR
India Tate, a single mom from
Georgia who is on a mission to
inspire other single mothers to travel with their young
children.
Hold on, is the prize really $20k for only 30 days on the road? Yes.
We are going to hire someone or someone(s) with a huge personality
and social media skills to document their epic coast-to-coast
adventure.
Americans will determine the best of the best by voting for
their favorite candidate here: Outdoorsy.com/bestsummerjob
