Sometimes companies are busy going through all the applications for previous listings and don’t post new ones until they know what they need. So what does the eager job-hunter do?

Job Seeking Tactics That Work When There Aren’t Many Jobs Listed

• Make sure your resume is updated and reflects your professionalism. Resume writing is one of the “soft skills” taught at ATS because a poor resume often takes you out of consideration for the job.
• Contact your training provider and ask for contact information for likely companies. The ATS Employment Assistance department has a huge database of interested employers available to graduates.
• Submit applications and your resume to likely companies and ask that they keep you in mind. Having your information on file is a good way to get a phone call when that job does open up.
• Network with other professionals in your field. ATS graduates have free access to one of the best networking sites for the skilled trades industries — Total Resources Network.
• Don’t automatically reject temporary or volunteer gigs. These often will be what gets you a job offer, but look at it carefully to make sure it fits your goals.
• Don’t give up! If you don’t qualify for it, you might have to get more training to get the job you really want.

Two decades ago, the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) was not thought to be such good news. This quote from their recent press release shows that the start was a bit rocky:

“Initial response to what at that time was the new and often misunderstood process of certification was mixed,” recalls Kerry Hulse, who played a leading role insteering the certification process from its infancy and currently serves the NCCCO Board of Directors as Vice President. “But as we sit here today and reflect on the progress that has been made over the years, I can certainly say it has been a remarkable journey—even one that has far exceeded the expectations of those who contributed their time and expertise to this effort for years even prior to the formation of NCCCO.”

But now, after twenty years, the proof of the benefit that nationally recognized certification provides is in the 80% decline in crane-related fatalities where such certification is in place. That’s pretty impressive. Crane operators do a dangerous job and there isn’t room for much error. The consequences of unprofessional standards with heavy equipment are severe because the machine & gravity always are stronger than the human body in an accident.

Mobile Crane Operators Are Safer With NCCCO

ATS Heavy Equipment Operator Training School is proud to offer certified crane operator programs that give the education and practical skills needed to obtain NCCCO certification. Thousands of ATS grads are included in last year’s NCCCO milestone of 100,000 persons being rewarded with their CCO certification card. The professional training you get when you go through a nationally certified program pays off in years of working safely. Accidents do happen in cranes, but being NCCCO certified means that fewer of them happen.

As long as one of our graduates needs help finding the next job, ATS is here to help that graduate get employment. Why would a training school offer such a drastic benefit?

We Know the Quality of Our Training Programs

ATS has been in the business of training heavy equipment operators, mobile crane operators, rigger/signalpersons, and Class-A CDL truck drivers for decades. We have developed a nationally recognized program with all the certifications and standards that are needed for being approved as a training program for state and federal funding. Our instructors are the best, and in some cases, we helped develop the training curriculum being used across the country.

We Know Our Students

Every student that walks into our training program gets personal career counseling. These sessions result in a relationship and specific job suggestions based on your interests. Career Services will also work with students on the “soft skills” that are often neglected: resume writing, application procedures, interview techniques, and more. You can’t do that without getting to know each other.

We Know Life Changes Sometimes

There is one thing that’s true in life, and that is that things change. Five, ten, or fifteen years down the road there may be a need to find a new position because you had to move, or the economy in a certain location changed, or whatever. Life has a way of throwing a curve ball once in a while, and being able to rely on ATS Employment Assistance helps you recover your balance and move on in a new job.
