I’ve been sending my boyfriend out looking for landscape jobs lately as he needs to work and he has a real aptitude for plants and gardening.

I share a vehicle with my boyfriend and he has been using it a lot looking for landscape jobs.  He found one in a nearby town that he went by and applied for.  The position that was open was for a landscape improvement training person.  My boyfriend has some experience from commercial landscape jobs, but not enough for that job. There was also a job for the town maintenance training.

That job sounded promising. They wanted less experience from commercial landscape jobs and more educationally equivalents.  He is still waiting to hear back from the owner of that company about the position he applied for. Very often you will find that you don't hear for some considerable time and then suddenly they're chasing you. By that time of course you have accepted another job.

The benefits packages for most landscape jobs are really attractive.  Based on his past experience I suggested that he thinks that a position as an account field manager which I think would be good for him in fact he would excel at that job.

Large Cities councils often have some landscape jobs open for crew leaders.  My boyfriend met with the foreman and didn’t really like him.  I don’t think that he’d accept a job with him.  I guess it will really depend on the other offers, if there are any.

I don’t know if I really want my boyfriend to commute too far for a gardener position and for me, a landscape jobs closer to home is what I’m really rooting for because I'm a very old fashioned girl and to me, family life is what it's all about.

Some landscape jobs list pest control spray operator as one of the available landscape jobs.  It requires no experience or specialized education.  I asked my boyfriend not to apply for this because I just don’t want him working with chemicals all day long. I had a relative that died many years ago of some sort of chemical inhalation so that immediatelly came to mind. Stupid, I know. That to one side, we are both firm believers in the organic approach so, to us, that job would defefinately be going against the grain.

My boyfriend seems to think that the landscape jobs that are best for him involve climbing trees.  He says that while he was growing up he climbed a lot of trees and he thinks that he has enough skill to climb trees for landscape jobs with tree surgeons. Men! ugh!

Eventually he was offered the job in a nearby town where he could train the workforce of the town's parks and leisure department. Good money and perks.
