Facilities jobs belong to the service industry. The service industry represents more jobs than any other jobs and careers. The service industries are one of the most successful sectors and are present in every company, local government, schools, corporate buildings, hospitals, telecommunication, etc.

Their type of jobs and responsibilities depend on the size and nature of their organization. Because service is such an important part of any organization, many are prepared to pay handsomely to maintain the reputation and success of an organization. Let us see what they are:

The administrative services manager provides a wide range of services like directing, coordinating, and planning to help ensure that the company’s operation runs smoothly. The services manager would assign facilities operation and maintenance, procurement of equipment and property, and space allocation. The services manager also caters to the many needs of the departments by setting up a centralized operation center including transportation, mail, distribution, security, data processing, materials, printing and so much more. Service managers may also evaluate power usage, replacement, modernization plans, etc.



Contract administrators are responsible for overseeing negotiation, preparation, analysis, and review the sale or purchase of services, materials, products, supplies, and equipments. They also handle storage of supplies and equipments, acquisition, and distribution. They are also responsible for disposing available or surplus properties.

Facility managers are involved in planning, managing, and designing equipment, supplies and building. They also implement various development plans to integrate power efficiency into the structure and operations of facilities. Such tasks require the incorporation of engineering, information technology architecture, and business administration. A facility manager may also direct projects for renovation to enhance effectiveness of the facilities by adhering to the government standards in security, environmental and health. Facilities managers are also responsible for overseeing custodial, grounds and staff workers for a secure, well maintained, orderly and efficient day to day operation.

Administrative and facilities managers often spend most of their time visiting various facilities of the organization and in the office. They are put in charge of the construction and they often travel to the construction site. Today, there are ways to communicate with the staff and other workers in the field by using teleconferencing and thus minimizing the need for long distance and tiring travels to the sites. They also work a typical 40 hours a week, perhaps more for overtime or dealing with issues that may have arisen.

Facilities jobs have risen from 200,000 in 2005 to more than 300,000 in 2010. Almost all industries employ facilities administrators, manager sand custodians. Mostly found in healthcare, the government, and education and construction industries. The demand for these jobs is very strong and is expected to be that way until 2020.

Applicant for managerial positions are intense while the entry level facilities jobs are relaxed and numerous. Training is the best step for those aiming for the top level positions until they can manage to a more robust and complex job responsibilities. The growth in occupations prompted a need for new administrative jobs, also the need for worker replacements and retiring managers. The demands for facilities managers may differ due to fluctuations in the economy but will remain stable and this is great news for any career changer or a job seeker.

Tell me something about yourself may be a simple interview question but your response will set the spirit of the whole process if you don’t really know what information to include and it might determine whether you will get the job. Experts say that the secret to responding to this question is to practice and begin with the information you want the interviewer to know about you. Before the big interview you have to list your strengths in terms of experience, skills, and traits, prepare a script, and begin by talking about your previous experience, mention the strengths you have listed and end with your current situation like what you are looking for in a company you want to work with. Practice your script until you are confident enough not to sound rehearsed because this preparation will assist you in answering other questions and help you focus what you have to offer to the company you are applying with.
