Landing a New Technician Job

If you’ve read along here over the last year, you’ll notice that I have no tolerance for careless and thoughtless management. I’ve tried to show you what to look for in good management and how good management will help you, your family and career. Good management can be your best ally or it can be your worst enemy. When you finally discover that management is not acting in your best interest and you’ve tried through persistent communication to voice your concerns and effect change – and nothing happens – it’s time to find a new owner/manager.

With today’s post I’ll be starting a new category titled: Landing a New Job. I hope to provide tidbits of useful information and advice in order to market yourself in an appealing way to prospective employers. After sitting in the technician hiring chair for over twenty years, I have seen folks present themselves in all types of manners and have a pretty good idea of what works and doesn’t. I’ve had people sit in front of me while applying for a job wearing more metal that pierced their skin than goes into some ductwork systems. I’ve had two different people bring their translators to the interview. And I’ve had more people than you could imagine who should have brought their translators to the interview – and they spoke English.

I am not interested in you just landing a new job. Instead, I would like you to connect with a manager who cares about his coworker’s personal development, education, career and family. There are companies out there that are worth working for. We’ll help you find them. And if you work for one, please don’t hesitate to let us know about them.
