Fishing Jobs In Alaska

The fishing industry is Alaska's largest private employer and employs over 65,000 people for summer, seasonal and year-round employment. The state's fisheries average over $11.2 billion in revenue per year and account for nearly 38 percent of the dollar value of fish and seafood landed in the United States. Roughly 57% of these jobs are filled by nonresidents of the state. Many of whom are college students and young adults who spend the summer in Alaska earning great money, meeting new friends and having an experience of a life time. Alaska fishing jobs are fairly plentiful, but to land a job, it takes a lot more than just getting a list of addresses and phone numbers. It takes having in-depth industry knowledge and a proven strategy. You need to understand the complexities of the Alaska fishing industry and have the insider tips. One of the worst things a person can do is to call Alaska fishing companies and waste their time asking a bunch of basic questions. You need to respect their time. As with any job, you need to spend a little time educating yourself about the industry. This will set you apart from most of the others looking for a job in the Alaska fishing industry.

Merry Christmas from Palmer Alaska. I am up visiting Kenda and Morgan. A little snow fell last night. Still hoping for more so we can go up to Hatcher Pass for some fun in the snow.

Enjoy the day and family.

Dreaming Of The Kenai

I am in Phoenix. It will finally drop below 80 degrees today and all I can think of is life along the Kenai.

Driving in to work today I had a CD of Hobo Jim playing. Its almost winter in Alaska and I am ready to head back.

This will be my first Christmas and I can't wait. For now, Hobo Jim will have to do.
