Finding a job that’s a perfect fit for you might sound impossible, but it can happen if you do your homework. If you’ve decided to pursue a career in the heating oil industry, you can choose from a wide range of jobs and companies. Read this blog from Generation NEXT Energy Pros to learn what you should consider when looking for a perfect-fit career in the oil heating industry.
5 Things to Include in Your Job Search
1. Required Skills
Each position at a heating oil and HVAC company will require certain skills, licenses, or certifications. With opportunities to work as a driver, technician, manager, salesperson, and more, it’s important to narrow down your options by evaluating your skills and credentials and comparing them to the requirements of the job. The more aligned your skills are with the job you apply for, the more likely you’ll be hired and successful in that role.
2. Culture and Values
You want to be happy where you work, and if your values don’t align with your company’s culture, chances are you won’t be happy. When you are applying for jobs, have some clear ideas in mind about the type of company you want to work for and what is important to you as an employee. And consider what things may indicate red flags and green flags when you are interviewing.
3. Salary and Benefits
We may not like to admit it, but money matters, as do benefits. Have in mind your salary expectations when you’re job hunting. Research average pay and be sure to ask about their pay structure. Explore benefits beyond the paycheck that are important to you, like insurance, 401ks, PTO, and any other types of perks.
4. Job Security
Job security can mean more than just keeping your job. Look for opportunities that provide year-round or recurring seasonal employment. Some companies offer tuition assistance for HVAC or fuel-related certifications and training, which can increase your future earnings.
5. Location
If it’s important to you to work in your own community or have an opportunity to try somewhere new, location will be pivotal to your job search. Many oil and HVAC companies work right in their own neighborhoods, so you’ll never be too far from your home.
