Can i get some tips here?  I've looked in the obvious places and I'm not coming up with much.  I hoping to find a job somewhere around the southeast.  Me and my wife work as a couple, live in a 26ft. bus, and have a well behaved 70lb. dog.  We're willing to as security, sales, farm, or whatever.  I just can't seem to find the listings!  I'm trying to stay ahead of my jobs and get them lined up, but I just can't find the tree jobs.

Any tips help. Thanks ya'll!
 
Marijuana growing industry.

Tends to be off the grid of course.

OP, I doubt you'll find much here.
 
I am talking about seasonal jobs relating to Christmas trees. My bad. I'm looking for advice on literal job listing locations on the internet.

Shouldn't really require any qualifications, but I am an experienced laborer, including farm work, and seasonal work. I also have a variety of tools, but I'm pretty sure seasonal Christmas tree jobs don't require bringing them. The work is typically on-site tree sales or other jobs like unloading trucks, and cleaning up. Sometimes they need workers on the tree farms to harvest and load trucks.

I've read about people doing this job on all kinds of blogs and forum posts, but now that I'm trying to apply for jobs, I can't find any. Any leads would be helpful, as would a website that might actually list these jobs. The usual sites have let me down.

Oops woofUSA.org

its wwoofusa.org and that is unpaid work.  I need work that pays.  I specifically seeking christmas tree jobs because I have heard that it's really lucrative.  I worked amazon last winter and will do it again if I need to, but I was hoping to find a higher paying job.
 
Thank you.  I'll start watching them closer.

I'm thinking that the reason you can't find a job selling Christmas trees is that it's five months until Christmas. Try looking in December.

From your first post I was thinking that you might be a tree climber/trimmer. I was going to suggest following big storms where there is lots of wind damage to trees.

Christmas tree farms tend to trim about now to give a nice full trim/shape for the winter season

would you mind telling me the name of the company you worked for and where they are located?  Do you know if they hire workampers for seasonal tree lot jobs, like sales, security, load/unload?
 
Such a small niche to search for. Why?

Broaden your search and you likely can get an outdoor job, landscaping whatever, within days right where you are.

Rather than spending a week's wages in gas to get to a Christmas tree farm.
