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.
