Industrial jobs range from mining to engineering, and everything in between. There are industrial job opportunities to suit every personality and educational level.

Jobs in industrial industries do require special training, so make sure that you understand what companies require before you apply. Some jobs in industrial services may offer on-the-job training, which is convenient for someone who cannot afford to spend time and money on education.

If you are interested in industrial careers:

1. Have a professional write your industrial jobs resume. A professional resume writer knows what companies want and how to tailor your resume to meet their needs.

2. Get the proper education for the best paying industrial job openings. There is no doubt that companies pay more to those who have higher degrees.

3. Set up informational interviews to help determine where you belong. If you know that you want an industrial career, but you're not sure what area interests you the most, ask people who are already working about their jobs. This helps you learn more about the industry before you start working.


Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Use a job board to find general industrial goods jobs


If you are looking for basic industrial employment, such as ironworker positions or crane operators, you can probably find what you need on a job board. These sites often allow you to post your resume as well, which means that prospective employers may contact you.

I recommend: Register to see industrial jobs on CraftStaffing, a site that specializes in listing jobs in industry. SnagAJob.com helps you to find full or part-time work in any state. They also have a convenient email notification system to let you know of new positions as they become available.

Hire a recruiting firm to find engineering jobs in industrial services


Recruiting firms help both employers and job seekers to find the best match. They can save you time by eliminating those employers that would not be a good fit.

I recommend: Check out the services offered by Premier Search Associates, Inc. Alternatively, you may find what you are looking for at Arnold-Hanafin Corporation.

Hire an executive search firm for executive jobs in industrial areas


Executives have special needs when looking for a job and an executive search firm is ready to serve them. Try to find a firm that understands your unique situation.

I recommend: Korn/Ferry International and Heidrick & Struggles are two of the most prestigious executive search firms. Contact them to find a great position.
