I’ve been digging really deeply into Reddit lately.
In particular, I love the job boards and anti work threads for my own entertainment.
Whenever people start talking about how difficult the job market is at the moment, I can’t help but nod in agreement. For my generation, the task of finding a new job has become a job itself. So many of us are fighting for so few positions that it can be impossible to secure positions that you are qualified for. This is why I have been getting more creative with my job hires recently. I want to get the best and brightest HVAC workers, but I don’t want to waste their time. I also don’t want to hire someone who doesn’t appreciate high quality indoor air for personal reasons, not just an HVAC technician paycheck. This is why last week I invited my potential employee over to my house just to show him the level of skill that I expected from my heating and cooling workers. Of course, I have been working in indoor air temperature control positions for over 16 years now, but the indoor air temperature and air quality repair industry around here needed a higher quality HVAC repair shop. So I opened one. There are tons of low quality eating, cooling, and air quality control repair shops around here which makes the job market competitive. This is why I decided to invite my potential employee over for dinner after finishing our interview at my little indoor air temperature control dealership. I figured, rather than asking him all about furnace, air conditioner, and thermostat repair… I should just show him what I expected. When he wandered into my perfectly comfortable home, he almost immediately told me he had a lot left to learn and promptly left before dinner even started.
