There has been a recent uptick in employment activity at window cleaning businesses, including FISH franchisees. Do you see the irony in this? It is anticipated that the number of employment openings available for window cleaning professionals will increase by 7 percent over the course of the next eight years.
This is not your normal Monday through Friday work. Because being a window cleaner does not need any previous experience or education, it is a very straightforward profession to enter. Because you will be working on your feet and going up and down ladders, you will need to be in excellent physical shape to be considered for this position. You will get training from the owner or manager on everything that is necessary for your position. The majority of FISH franchise sites put newly hired technicians through a two-week training program to ensure that they are familiar with all of the correct safety measures and how to operate the equipment.
