🧭 Learn faster than your competition 🥣 I've had no shortage of odd jobs and one of them was working at a restaurant that I couldn't afford to eat at 💸 And what you do when you are working from paycheck to paycheck is you pick up extra shifts. So I said Hey, "I can wash some dishes 👩🍳 So I'm chatting with the chef and she goes, "Y’know one day you get paid to tell stories 🛎️ And I go, one day I'm gonna be able to afford to eat at this restaurant, as for right now I'm just an underwater ceramic technician! 🧩 The reason I share that is because I consider myself untraditional talent: someone who did not start right out of college in sales and IT, however, the perspective that I bring and the way that I show up is a reflection of my willingness to: 🛍️ Understand what drives the entire experience, 🧠 Provide actionable insights, 🔥 Share with others in their journey as well as to continually get better every day #presales #bettereveryday #iwannabeansc #7c #sc #untraditionaltalent #keepbeingyou #careerpivot #transitiontotech #breakintotech #translation #learnmoretoearnmore #keepbuilding #growth #attitudeofgratitude

Faltec Europe Ltd ➤ Manager ➤ Human Resources, Talent Acquisition, Apprenticeships ➤ We are a Tier 1 supplier to automotive OEMs with around 2,500 global colleagues ☏ 07710 083230
If you are applying for a new job today, please read, then re-read the advertisement to get all the information. I received a CV from an applicant applying for our Maintenance Technician vacancy. Our role is about attending breakdowns, diagnosing faults and repairing manufacturing equipment, including 2300 tonne injection moulding machines. Applicants need to have completed the relevant 4 year apprenticeship and be able to work a 4-shift pattern. The applicant in question was totally unsuitable. Yes, he was a maintenance technician, but did maintenace on buildings, painting, brick work, gardening etc. I get an increasing number of applications from people who apply for jobs based on job title rather than reading the advert and tailoring their CV and covering letter to that role. I suppose that’s why some people say they have applied for 50 jobs and got nowhere, whilst others apply for 3 jobs which they suitable for and get 2 or 3 interviews. Just saying….!

A quick public service announcement for those looking for in-demand jobs and wondering what they might be here in the Lehigh Valley: Lehigh Valley Economic Development has put together a guide to what its research has deemed to be the “hot careers” for 2023-2024. It’s a free PDF and you can find a link to it in the first comment. The document lists jobs for folks who have high school diplomas (but not a college degree), college grads and well as those in our region who possess master’s degrees. (Important note: these jobs may be “hot,” but don’t expect them to pay the same as a “hot” job for someone who graduated from high school, etc.) It also lists jobs that need a certificate or specialized training. For example, in-demand jobs that require just a high school diploma include administrative assistants, customer service reps, material handlers, forklift operators, and so on. In-demand positions requiring certifications/specialized training include production supervisors and maintenance mechanics and repair workers. #HotJobs #LehighValleyJobs #JobSearch

Three high-paying skilled trade jobs are: Construction managers get an average pay of $101,000 Elevator technicians make $99,000 Dental hygienists earn $81,000. While none of these positions demand a higher education degree or certification, having a certification from a vocational college significantly helps. These trade jobs have unique qualifications and skills, and working situations vary greatly. Q2. Which high-paying trade is the simplest to learn? Plumbing is a high-paying job that is simple to master. It merely requires a high school diploma or GED. Trade apprenticeships provide additional opportunities for learning while on the job. The average yearly pay is more than $60,000. Q3. What are some of the fastest trades to learn?

How do you decide what is the best trade job? The best trade job for you depends on your unique skills, experiences, and passion. You can become an electrician if you love wiring, a construction worker if you enjoy building things, or a sterile processing technician if you enjoy learning about medical instruments.

You did HAZMAT?! 😲 Yes! I worked in the hazardous waste/environmental services industry. 😁 One question I am often asked is “how did you get a job doing HazMat?”☣️ So here are my tips as follows: 1. Obtain a Certificate 📃 You can earn a 40-Hour HAZWOPER certification vía online training websites. If you have no experience, I highly recommend opting for a 40-Hour HAZWOPER on-site training course. 2. Apply with a Job Agency 👩💻🧑💻 If you are just starting out and have little to no experience, there are job agencies that focus on HazMat jobs. Another potential opportunity to look into is looking at job postings that mention Household Hazardous Waste or HHW, these are collection sites usually on the weekends where hazardous waste is collected from nearby communities and it’s good beginner’s level training. 3. Network 🤝 You can never go wrong with reaching out to old colleagues, friends, or family and letting them know you are trying to break into the industry. Also, visit career fairs as there could be multiple companies looking to hire entry-level HazMat Technicians. Bonus - Get Your Commercial Driver License (CDL) 🪪☣️ This helped me secure a role with a reputable environmental services company. This will take time and money if you decide to get after your commercial driver license with HazMat endorsements. However, it will help you stand out and receive more job offers in the environmental services/hazardous waste management industry. Those are really helpful tips on how to break into the environmental/HazMat industry. Pass this along to someone you know trying to pursue an opportunity working in this industry. 👍 Stay safe! Also, protect the environment! 👷👷♀️♻️
