Q:  What types of fishing job opportunities are there in Alaska, when are the jobs and who gets hired?

A:  If you are a healthy, able-bodied adult and have the endurance and desire to work hard for potential high rewards, there could be an Alaska fishing job for you!

For Experienced & Inexperienced / Seasonal & Year Round

Alaska fishing job opportunities are of many different types, for experienced and inexperienced workers. There are seasonal opportunities, lasting a couple of months -- perfect for students.  And there are year round opportunities for persons who are looking to blast it out for a longer period, in a quest to achieve a particular financial goal.  More info is covered in our guide.

For Men & Women

Although it’s still a very male-dominated occupation, the fishing industry is attracting more women every year.  Many women pull their share of the workload very well, since a lot of jobs involve finesse and persistence, as opposed to sheer brute strength. There are opportunities for females in the fishing industry. But women, as well as men, must be prepared for the big challenges that are ahead.  More info is covered in our guide.

Q:  Instead of signing up for a membership to AlaskaFishingJobs.com and receiving your book, is there just a basic, free-information phone number in Alaska I can call to apply for a job? 

A:  Phone number?  Sure, there are a few phone numbers you could call for general info.  But getting a job is not as simple as that, and it certainly isn't something that you want to go blindly into.  And be prepared for the countless hours of time you'll spend for that "free" information -- not to mention the long-distance tolls.    

To be the most successful with your job search, you really need to be informed before you start looking.  Do you want to work on a boat, or on shore?  What area of Alaska do you want to fish, why do you want to fish there, and what do you want to fish for?  What time of the year do you want to work, and for how long?  And if you do land a job, what should you expect and how can you best prepare for this adventure?

If you can't answer some of these questions, you really should consider signing up for our AlaskaFishingJobs.com membership. The included job-search guide will answer nearly every question you may have, and will help you to make the best decision for yourself.

Q:  Is this guide book the only way to apply? 

 A:  There are many ways to apply.  We offer you the information to pursue employment.  And we do provide you with a sample application.  Plus, if you sign up for membership to our site, we'll give you access to our Member's Only section and Job Seeker's Application Center. 

But more than anything, our guide book helps you to decide for yourself, which type of jobs and application opportunities are the best match for you.  And we've got more than 8,000 job contact listings in our guide -- representing thousands of potential employment possibilities. 

Then after you've made your choice of what type of Alaska fishing job you would wish to pursue -- our guide book tells you what you need to know to search for a job, and what to expect when you land one.  Everything you'll need to know about getting a job in the Alaskan commercial fisheries is in our book.  It really is a very helpful guide.  Click here to sign up.

Q:  A friend and I were thinking of going to Alaska to work for a while.  At first it was just talk, but recently, we got really serious about doing this. So here I am trying to find out how this thing works and I was just wondering if you could send me a phone number where I could talk to somebody?  It would really help me a lot.  Thank you very much.

 A:  On our website, we sell a membership that includes a copy of a book, entitled "The Greenhorn's Guide to Alaska Fishing Jobs."   This book has helped thousands of Alaska fishing job hunters, since 1992, and will be able to answer nearly every question that you have about the commercial fishing industry in Alaska.  And it's complete with many, important phone numbers.

Now... as far as talking to somebody from our company to find out more info about "how this thing works"... it's really doesn't require a phone call.  Any advice, or explanations we would tell you over the phone, are published in our book or in the Member's Only section of this website.  We used to offer our company's phone number for people to call us, but found that most people had the same, basic questions when we spoke with them.  And they were all answered in our book and membership info.  So, sign up now!

A:  Opinions vary on this key point -- whether or not international workers can get jobs.  Some employers say 'yes' and others say 'no' -- it really depends on the employer.  But there are opportunities for international workers -- with proper documentation.  More info is covered in our guide and membership.  So, sign up now!
