Step 1: Check Fit – Is This Role Right for You?
- Save time by confirming the role aligns with your lifestyle and needs first:
1. Work Locations & Commute
- Coverage: Dallas (TX), Atlanta (GA), Phoenix (AZ) — sites include apartment complexes, local cafes, and small offices.
- Commute: FocusedClean assigns routes within 10 miles of your home (when possible) to cut travel time. Public transit, biking, or driving all work— just note your preferred commute method in your application.
2. Schedules & Role Types
- Options: Full-time (5 days/week, 4–5 hours/day), Part-time (2–3 days/week), or “Flex-Shift” (choose 10–15 hours/week, perfect for students or second jobs).
- Shifts: Early (7:00–11:00 AM), Midday (12:00–4:00 PM), or Evening (5:00–8:00 PM). Weekend shifts (Sat only) pay a $2/hour premium.
3. Pay & Perks
- Hourly Wage: \(14–\)17 (varies by city: Phoenix = \(14–\)15, Dallas = \(15–\)16, Atlanta = \(16–\)17).
- Benefits:
- Full-time: 8 paid vacation days/year, 6 paid sick days, and a $150/year “wellness stipend” (for gym memberships or medical co-pays).
- All roles: Free uniform (polo + pants), eco-friendly cleaning supplies, and a “Refer-a-Friend” bonus ($75 if your referral stays 3 months).
4. What You’ll Actually Do
No experience required— daily tasks are straightforward:
- Clean spaces: Dust shelves, scrub sinks/toilets, vacuum rugs, and sanitize high-touch spots (e.g., coffee machine handles, elevator buttons).
- Manage supplies: Track how much cleaner / 纸巾 (tissues) is left at each site and report low stock.
- Communicate: Share quick updates with clients (e.g., “I’ll skip the bedroom today since it’s locked”) via the company’s easy-to-use app.
Step 2: Prep Documents – Even If You Have No Experience
FocusedClean keeps requirements simple, but organizing these ahead of time speeds up your application:
1. Age & Identity Proof
- Required: U.S. government ID (driver’s license, passport, or state ID— a photo of the front/back works for the initial application; you’ll show the original at onboarding).
- Rule: You must be 18+ (no exceptions— this is for insurance purposes).
2. Work Authorization
- Needed: EAD card, Green Card, or U.S. birth certificate (scan or take a clear photo).
- Tip: If your EAD is expiring soon, note the renewal date in your application— FocusedClean can help you update it later.
3. “Experience Sheet” (No Resume? No Stress!)
You don’t need a formal resume— just a 1-page sheet with:
- Your full name, phone number, email, and home zip code (to assign routes).
- Any relevant experience (even unpaid!):
- Volunteer work (e.g., “Helped clean community center after events— 2023”).
- Personal tasks (e.g., “Cleaned 3-bedroom home for family members weekly”).
- Past jobs (e.g., “Grocery store bagger— restocked shelves and wiped checkout counters”).
- 1–2 traits (e.g., “punctual,” “good at following instructions”)— ask a friend or family member to help if you’re unsure!
4. Background Check Note
FocusedClean checks for felony convictions related to theft or harm (e.g., assault)— minor issues (like a 5-year-old traffic ticket) won’t hurt your chances. You’ll get a link to complete the check online (it’s free for you!).

- Attach your documents (label files: “JaneDoe_ID,” “JaneDoe_WorkAuth”) and include a short note: “Hi, I’m [Your Name]— I’m excited to apply for a Cleaner role. I prefer [morning/evening] shifts and live in [neighborhood, e.g., Buckhead].”
Wait for a Response

Step 4: Ace the Interview – Tips for All Applicants
Whether it’s a phone or video call, these tips will help you stand out:
Common Questions & Strong Answers
- “Why do you want to work at FocusedClean?”
- Good: “I like that you assign routes close to home— it saves me time. Also, I enjoy making spaces feel fresh, and your eco-friendly supplies are a plus for me.”
- “You’ll need to clean bathrooms— are you comfortable with that?”
- Good: “Yes! I clean my own bathroom weekly, and I know how to use sanitizers safely. I also understand it’s an important part of keeping clients healthy.”
- “What if you’re running late to a site?”
- Good: “I’d text my supervisor right away and let the client know (if FocusedClean gives me their contact). I’d also leave earlier next time to avoid being late.”
Video Interview Extra Tips
If you choose video:
- Wear a clean polo or t-shirt (no hoodies!).
- Sit in front of a plain background (a wall is better than a messy room).
- Test your internet and camera 10 minutes before— use your phone’s hotspot if Wi-Fi is spotty.
After the Interview
Send a short thank-you text or email within 24 hours: “Thanks for the interview! I’m even more excited about the role now— let me know if you need anything else.”
