These are the most common Custodial Officer interview questions and how to answer them:
I have several years of experience working in custodial and janitorial roles. I have experience in cleaning, maintaining, and organizing buildings and facilities. I have a good understanding of cleaning techniques, equipment and safety protocols.
I prioritize my tasks and responsibilities by assessing the needs of the facility and prioritizing tasks based on urgency and importance. I make sure to complete high-priority tasks first and then move on to less important tasks. I also make sure to communicate with my supervisor to ensure that I am on track and that nothing is missed.
I maintain a clean and safe environment by following a strict cleaning schedule, regularly inspecting the facility for potential hazards, and addressing any issues as soon as they arise. I also ensure that all cleaning equipment is in good working condition and that safety protocols are being followed by all staff.
I handle difficult cleaning tasks by assessing the task at hand, determining the appropriate cleaning methods and equipment needed, and then executing the task efficiently and effectively. If necessary, I will seek assistance from my supervisor or colleagues to ensure that the task is completed to the best of my ability.
In my previous custodial role, I encountered a problem with a clogged drain in the facility's kitchen. I identified the cause of the clog, and I took appropriate measures to clear the drain, such as using a plunger, chemicals and snake. I also made sure to document the issue and inform my supervisor so that it could be prevented in the future.
I stay organized and efficient by maintaining a schedule for my tasks and responsibilities, and by keeping a checklist of items that need to be completed. I also make sure to keep my cleaning equipment and supplies well-stocked and easily accessible. I also use technology tools such as task management apps to stay on top of my duties.
