So, you've finished up your gas technician training and obtained your G3. If you're ready to take on the workforce with this license, you may be nervous about starting the job hunt in the skilled trades. Whether this is your first time career hunting or a change in industry for you, we can help make this process less stressful. Today we're outlining some tips to help you once you've completed your G3 course so that you can make the transition from class to work place easily.
Use Your Networking Connections
One of the major benefits of attending a private career college to complete your Ontario skilled trades training is that you are being taught by industry professionals who still have connections in the trade. This means that you have a broad network of connections to help you find a job. Stay in contact with the people that you meet, and leverage those connections as best you can when job hunting.
Be Prepared To Make A Good Impression
When you have a lead on a job, it's very important to make the best first impression that you can. Be prepared with a well written and updated resume to give to potential employers. If you are selected for an interview, brush up on your interview skills before going. You want to put your best food forward for Ontario gas technician jobs.
Consider Broadening Your Skills
When you've completed your G3 certification course, consider going back to school for a few more short weeks and obtaining your G2 certificate. This will make you more qualified, and potentially give you a better chance while you're job hunting.
Remember that with a gas technician license you are not just limited to being a gas fitter. You can continue furthering your skilled trades training and begin working in many different skilled trades, such as:
- HVAC Technician
- Plumber
- Construction
- Manufacturing
You are definitely not limited when it comes to the number of skilled trades jobs you can continue on to after completing your G3 license. For more information on how to begin your career journey, contact the Skilled Trades Academy.
