Providing a professional service
that makes a difference in the
comfort and health of other
employees gives you a feeling of
satisfaction. You enjoy a lot of
quiet time to exercise your
mind, unwind from the rest of
your life, or get in touch with
your spiritual side. Also, you
often have a greater amount of
job security than many of the
other people working around
you.

There is a lot more to a janitor than
someone who mops the floors. High-tech
equipment such as power floor scrubbers
has led to the requirement of greater
expertise. It’s important to remember,
anyone who performs a valuable
service deserves respect – this
includes janitors!

People who fill this role
have all types of
personalities and stories,
just like anyone else.
Janitors are often
entrusted to clean around
expensive products and
equipment, so it’s a
position that requires
attention to detail and a
strong code of personal
ethics. Also, janitors have
achieved a wide range of
educational attainment,
including those with
doctorate degrees. Strike
up a conversation – you’ll
often hear some
unexpected truths.

Respecting the equipment you use
is as important as respecting one
another. Safety rules were written
for a reason – an important one.
The quality of the job will only be
as good as the quality of the
equipment you use.

Always strive to be the best at anything you do
– you never know when you will need to fall
back on the reputation you have earned. Wear
your uniform with pride and set an example
that others will want to follow.

Continue to gain knowledge about new
products and methods that will make you
better at your job. A willingness to step
outside the boundaries of your job
description will make you more
employable in the future. There are
leadership roles in any job if you are
willing to step up to them.

When you work with electronic equipment, chemicals, and valuable building materials,
common sense is a basic requirement. Having the ability to work the quadratic formula
doesn’t mean you have the smarts needed to remove stains from all types of surfaces.
Understanding the importance of the job requires a certain level of intelligence.

A flexible schedule means you can
work while going to school, holding
down a full-time job, or taking care
of other responsibilities. On-the-
job training means you start work
immediately without educational
requirements. Opportunities in all
types of businesses provide jobs
that don’t require a long commute.
