How to Find Jobs at Laundry Facilities
Finding an industrial laundry job is not much different from finding a job anywhere else. Companies are always hiring and jobs are findable through various job sites, especially for floor-level or entry positions.
What separates job-hunting for a laundry service job from any other is how tightly knit our industry is, and how transferable learned skills are, especially if you’ve made connections.
Using Connections to find Industrial Laundry Jobs
Networking is very important in an industry as insular as industrial laundry. Knowing where to look for these connections is essential.
While being on a first-name basis with the managers or owner at your facility is great, it doesn’t guarantee you’ll be made aware of opportunities, or your name brought up as a potential applicant.
After all, if you’re good, your current employers don’t want to lose you. As a result, the best place to look for upward mobility is coworkers or ex-coworkers who may have joined another facility. Ask around if anybody is aware of openings in positions you’re interested in.
Using Linkedin to find Industrial Laundry Jobs
A well put-together linkedin profile can be an extremely powerful job-finding tool in our industry. It’s a great way to keep in touch with colleagues and keep up to date with their professional advancements. It’s also a pipeline for recruiters or hiring managers to reach out to you for potential employment opportunities.
Using a Recruiter to find Commercial Laundry Jobs
Knowing the right people who can vouch for your ability and professionalism is a powerful way to move on and up. However, it’s not the only way. Using an industry-exclusive recruiter is another highly-effective way to find jobs in the industry.
