Training to be an Installer of Stair Lifts

installing stair lifts After the accessibility store that I had been working for years had closed, I found myself out looking for work for the first time in ten years.  Though I was a little rusty at making a resume, I had a good friend of mine help me out and then I was ready to hit the pavement and find a new job.

It didn’t take me long to find a job, thanks to my experience selling liftchairs.  I was hired just two days after my interview by another accessibility provider in town, though my role was going to be different: I was going to install stair lifts.

I was a little worried about being hired for this position since I am not the handiest person on the planet, but I knew that I would be able to learn.  It couldn’t be too hard, right?

Well, after the first two weeks of training, I am starting to get it.  Sure, I might not be the fastest installer, but I am thorough, and we haven’t had one yet that hasn’t worked the first try.  Hopefully I will be able to get my speed up so that I can do more installs during the day and I become an asset to the organization.
