Job Summary & Tips for Applying
Position fit and day-to-day impact. This role centers on consistent, standards-driven cleaning and upkeep. Emphasize experience with janitorial routines, equipment operation (e.g., floor scrubbers, compactors), and following safety procedures. Show that you can switch quickly between tasks, keep schedules, and communicate issues to management for fast resolution.
How to present your experience. Use short, results-oriented bullets on your resume—e.g., “Maintained warehouse floors using auto-scrubber; reduced slip incidents by following spill response SOPs,” or “Operated compactor and baler per guidelines; ensured compliant waste handling.” If you’ve supported grounds checks, restroom standards, or supply restocking, make those visible with metrics (frequency, areas covered).
Interview prep and quick wins. Be ready to walk through a typical maintenance checklist, how you prioritize during busy times, and your approach to spill response, hazard removal, and member service. Outline a simple 30-day plan: learn site-specific SOPs, master equipment safely, map high-traffic zones, and propose a routine to keep floors, restrooms, and BOH areas consistently to standard. This shows ownership, safety awareness, and reliability from day one.
