Where can I get a job in the Las Vegas area that entails organizational skills and cleaning?

Construction is booming in Las Vegas and those contractors need people to clean houses and businesses after remodeling and after new home and new business construction. Most contractors can also use someone who is highly organized to help them get their business organized.





Look for contractors, remodelers, and builders in your local phone book(s), community newspaper, and on bulletin boards (both real and online, such as craigslist.org - see links below) around where you want to work. Call each of these people/businesses and offer to clean the house(s) or business(es) they're working on (when they're done) for a reduced rate (as an introductory rate - you can raise it once you get your foot in the door). Once you get rolling (and doing a great job being responsive and good at what you do) you can get a huge amount of referral business. AND you will get business from both these types of people specifically AS WELL AS the homeowners and business owners themselves.





The harder you work at communicating with builders and remodelers (calling all of them, asking questions about what they need or who else they might know to talk to, checking back with them regularly, etc.) the more work you will get. The beauty of getting these types of referrals is that the home-owning clients tend to have some money and thus be the kinds of people who hire house cleaners.





Always pay attention to what the contractor says about his/her business - does it sound like they may need some organizing help? Offer it? Let homeowners and business owners know that you not only do cleaning work, but organizing as well. Once you get a good reputation, word of mouth will take care of the rest.





Be sure to have business cards at the ready ( and be sure they are simple, easy to read, with exactly what you do described in full right there on the card). All of the above can apply if you want a 40-hour job at one employer, too, just adapt the ideas to finding that one place that you're happy working. The links below can help in both cases.





Here are four craigslist links to get you started. The first is one that posts jobs that include housecleaning and similar (you can look here for cleaning jobs AND for the names of contractors):

The second one is the list for office jobs (another place to look for jobs AND specifically with contractors);


http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/ofc/;


The third is "domestic gigs" - cleaning and similar jobs:

And the fourth is the list of "skilled trades" businesses - this is where you'll find small contractors advertising their businesses. They're just the type that would use your services:

Reply:Hey everyone says a hotel....honestly I lived in Las Vegas and honestly I did house keeping, but you could always try the classified...I worked for this couple and they paid really good. You dont have to go to a hotel in order to use your organization skills or cleaning skills. Look in the want ads and Im sure you will find something there. The pay is good, if you get the right people. Good Luck In Your Search.
