Crane operators — qualified, certified, competent crane operators who are fully trained — are in big demand right now. But the only crane operators who are wanted are those who know what to do to keep everybody safe as the job progresses. It’s a dangerous job but one that accomplishes what no other type of equipment can.

This week’s listing has a lot of openings for crane operators, but that’s only one type of the many jobs out there:

BOONTON, NJ — hiring crane operators

APEX, NC — hiring crane operators

VALLEY, NY — hiring crane operators

WHITELAW, WI — hiring CDL truck drivers

HOUSTON, TX — hiring heavy equipment operators

LUFKIN, TX — hiring crane operators

DECORAH, IA — hiring crane operators

AMHERST, WI — hiring CDL truck drivers

NEENAH, WI — hiring CDL truck drivers

GREEN BAY, WI — hiring CDL truck drivers

BAYTOWN, TX — hiring crane operators

CHATTANOOGA, TN — hiring CDL truck drivers

GRETNA, NE — hiring owner-operator CDL truck drivers

SAN ANTONIO, TX — hiring crane operators

ALBANY, GA — hiring crane operators

If you don’t see any possibilities in this list, there are always more being added to the database at the ATS Employment Assistance department. This ever-expanding database of employers who want ATS grads to work for them is one of the reasons ATS offers lifetime employment assistance.

Another benefit that ATS grads enjoy is free access to Total Resources Network, the best networking site in the skilled trades industries.

It may look like there are only a few jobs out there, but the truth is far different.

This week’s job listings are few:

MARSHFIELD, WI — hiring Class-A CDL truck drivers

HOUSTON, TX — hiring Class-A CDL truck drivers and mobile crane operators

GREEN BAY, WI — hiring Class-A CDL truck drivers

Does that mean everybody has found all the skilled workers they need? Nope.

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.

This week’s job listings show the proliferation of work sites opening up all over the country. This is a busy season for heavy equipment operators and it will stay that way throughout the summer. Every day, the Employment Assistance department at ATS is helping graduates find jobs because employers contact us looking for trained workers. That growing database of employment opportunities is one reason ATS can confidently offer a promise of lifetime employment assistance.

Another benefit that ATS graduates enjoy is the employment assistance website where all the resources you need to network in the skilled trades industries are accessible for free. This site truly is a total networking resource.

This week, there’s a little of everything. From openings for heavy equipment or mobile crane operators to companies looking for Class-A CDL truck drivers, employers want qualified people who can do the job safely and professionally. These are jobs that can cause damage to property and people if the operator is not qualified, so the level of training and the source of that training is something that is carefully examined.

The best training schools have a reputation for excellence that employers seek. That’s why the ATS Employment Assistance department keeps adding to the database of companies who want ATS graduates to apply — and it’s why ATS can say that graduates have lifetime employment help.

Another perk of being an ATS graduate is free access to the Total Resources Network, a site for professionals in the skilled trades to connect. Graduates of ATS have learned how to use this job site to its full potential and find it very useful as they develop their careers.

This week’s job listings:

THREE RIVERS, MI — hiring heavy equipment operators

BROWNSVILLE, WI — hiring heavy equipment operators

OSWEGO, NY — hiring mobile crane operators

PERRYVILLE, MO — hiring mobile crane operators

APEX, NC — hiring mobile crane operators

This week, there are more job listings for mobile crane operators than anything else. Mobile crane operators are in high demand because they move the heavy, awkward stuff from one part of the job site to another by lifting it and swinging it to where it needs to go, sometimes high above the site to a roof. If you have ever tried carrying heavy buckets and lifting them above your head without spilling one, you’ll see why it takes skill.

It also usually will take having a certification that is nationally recognized because insurance companies want to know you are qualified to do this dangerous job. People get hurt and property is damaged when a mobile crane operator is incompetent. That’s why so many companies will let the Employment Assistance department at ATS Heavy Equipment Operator Training School know they have an opening.

ATS graduates also have free access to the job site, where they can post their qualifications and search the potential on their own.

Here are this week’s job listings:

• Total Resources Network with free access for graduates to professional networking in the skilled trades industries

How’s the weather where you are? This season is full of extremes as part of the country gets sudden snowstorms on the first day of Spring. But you know that it will change to warm sunny days ahead, and that’s why all these jobs are open:

Options like these are some of the reasons for becoming a professional with accredited training is good for your career.

Getting your training at ATS Heavy Equipment Operator Training School means you have two sure paths to employment:

• Lifetime Employment Assistance for personal help when you need it
• And free access to Total Resources Network for making connections with others in the skilled trades industries on your own

There’s a short list of job openings this week, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t any jobs. Many local companies will only advertise in their area because they are looking for local drivers. One of the things that ATS Heavy Equipment Operator Training School does with our students is to teach them how to do the networking to uncover job leads that are advertised in a limited area.

This week’s listings: 

NEENAH, WI — hiring Class-A CDL truck drivers

DUNCAN, TX — hiring heavy equipment operators

MESQUITE, TX  — hiring heavy equipment operators

STURTEVANT, WI — hiring Class-A CDL truck drivers

There are two benefits that ATS grads have when it comes to finding a job: 

• Lifetime Employment Assistance
• Free access to the Total Resources Network

Both of these are helpful for your entire career in the skilled trades industries, but that helpfulness is limited if you don’t know how to use them. Students at ATS are taught how to use these services and given plenty of opportunities to get good at it in the process of learning the “soft skills” that get you into the driver’s seat and on the job. After graduation, the help doesn’t stop, either, because past students often find they have questions as the job market changes. ATS provides both the training and the support to have a good career in your chosen field.

This week there are several areas looking for LOCAL Class-A CDL truck drivers. That’s something that many drivers with families seek, so if it’s something you are interested in you’d better contact our Employment Assistance department right away for the details. A couple of the positions are so eager to hire more people that they wanted it in the listing — but they don’t want just anybody. They are looking for trained professionals in a number of skill categories.

That help doesn’t stop with a packet of possibilities at graduation. When ATS grads need to find a different position, there’s lifetime career help from that same department.
