FAQs
What is Mobilize?
Mobilize is a seasonal work and travel adventure. This is your opportunity to live and work in amazing locations across the country, work with national brands, and make memories that last a lifetime!
Want to stay and work locally? We may have positions in your existing area! The majority of our workers choose Mobilize for the travel adventure, but there is absolutely no mandatory requirement to travel for this program.
Is this a paid opportunity?
Yes! This is a paid, full-time opportunity. Wages vary according to the state you will be working in, and you may have the opportunity to make tips depending on your position.
What types of positions will I have?
You will be in each location (e.g. town/city/tourist destination, etc.) for a season such as six months for summer or winter, and will be working in a different role in either the restaurant or hotel industry in each location. Roles available include, but are not limited to, Front Desk Attendant, Housekeeping, Server, Kitchen Helper, etc. The types of positions available will grow as we partner with more companies across the country. You will have the opportunity to indicate what kind of roles you would be interested in during the interview process but you will be working both front of house and back of house positions during the program.
Do I need experience?
NO INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY TO APPLY FOR THIS PROGRAM! You just need to have the right attitude, a sense of adventure, a desire to learn, and the ability to commit to a six month seasonal deployment with the program. You will be given the training you need to be ready to take on these roles and continuously mentored throughout the program by Mobilize staff and placement partners.
Where will I be living?
The locations (e.g. town/city/tourist destination, etc.) involved in the program depend on the partnering businesses participating in Mobilize.
What kind of housing will I get?
The greatest part about this program is that furnished housing is always a part of the package! We know how hard it is to secure a place to live, so we work with your placement partners to ensure you have a clean and safe place to call home when you arrive. Each location will be different and have different housing styles and models. You will have all the details before you commit, including pictures, and costs that might arise and of course, a packing list. Shared accommodations are normal for the season – think university-style housing. If you have friends who may be interested in experiencing this program as well – let us know! You could be roommates on this awesome adventure.
Will I be safe with my roommates?
Yes. All Mobilize job seekers must meet strict criteria before being accepted into the program, including a clear background check, positive work and character references, and in-depth interviews that determine the overall fit with the program.

Do you charge any fees?
No, we do not charge any fees to be a part of the Mobilize program.
Do I have to travel or relocate to be a part of the program?
Travel is not a mandatory part of the program. Each placement reflects a different unique position and we strive to hire locally for each role.

Should workers choose to continue to another position in another region across the country, that is an option for them too.
