How To Find The Best Skilled Trade Jobs For You?

If you work in a skilled trade, and are looking for a new job, you will have a range of jobs to choose from. These positions are in demand. Employers have openings in the skilled trades that they cannot fill. So, how do you go about finding a job that is a good fit for you?

The first thing to do is think about your own goals and preferences. Do you prefer working at a larger or smaller company? Are you willing to relocate? What kind of commute to and from work is best for you? Do you want a place that is able to provide additional training for career advancement and higher pay?

This will help you to focus your search. Here are some places to go to find skilled trade jobs.

1. Blue Collar Specialist

We are one of the leading skilled trades staffing agencies in Georgia. We have an established network of employers who work with us. With the scope of our services spread across the Southeast, Blue Collar Specialist is your one-stop location for securing quality skilled labor in the following industries: utility construction, HVAC, truck transportation, manufacturing, and subcontractors/tradesmen in the construction field.

By working with Blue Collar Specialist, you will have access to jobs that may not have been advertised because employers are relying on us to screen applicants. And when we send an application to an employer, that candidate gets priority because the employer knows the person we send has already been evaluated and is a good fit.

Here is what one job candidate had to say about our approach:

“At first I was not sure if I wanted to use a recruiter to find employment. I applied online and got a call back from Christy right away. From the moment I talked to her she made me feel like she honestly wanted the best for me and was not just doing her job. She took the time to get to know me before she asked any questions about my work history or experience. Throughout the whole process she made sure that she kept in touch with me on what was going on with my application and finding employment for me. I worked with one other Staffing Agency, but Blue Collar Specialist was by far the best. It didn’t feel like a staffing agency. I felt like a friend was trying to help me find the best position they could. Christy is someone I am grateful to have met and had the pleasure of working with. If there is a time in my life when I need employment, she would be the first person that I will call because I know she has my best interest at heart.” (Carol B., 5 Star Job Seeker Review)

2. Job Search Websites

There are many different websites out there. Some of the best known include Indeed, Monster, Glassdoor, and LinkedIn. Indeed is the largest, with 250 million people using it each month, and 10 new jobs added each second. The site is free and also provides a tool to compare salaries, as well as reviews of companies.

3. Social Media and Networking

Another way of finding openings is by talking with people on social media sites like LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter, anyone who might be able to provide information. This could include friends, coworkers past and present, and others in the same profession that you contact online. After you have narrowed your search to just a few employers, you should check out their websites to learn about the company and find out if it is a place where you might like to work.
