Dr’s Answer

Hey, Angelo! great question! 😏 The good news is that construction is always in demand, and if you're motivated, you can land a job pretty quickly. A lot of it comes down to putting yourself out there. Trade schools, unions, and local contractors are always looking for skilled workers, and sometimes, just reaching out can open doors faster than you'd expect.

If you haven’t already, start by checking in with your instructors or anyone you trained with—so many jobs come from word-of-mouth. Employers love hiring through recommendations because they trust people who already know the trade. If that doesn’t lead to something right away, job boards, union websites, and even local staffing agencies can be a great way to get started. Some contractors hire on the spot if they see you’re eager to work and willing to learn.

One thing that can help speed things up is making sure you have any necessary certifications, like OSHA or state-required safety training. It’s a small thing, but it makes a big difference in getting hired. And if you’re open to different roles—apprenticeships, temp work, or even a trial period—it can help you get your foot in the door while you build experience.

The key is to be proactive and let people know you’re looking. There are jobs out there, and the right opportunity might come up faster than you think. Good luck! 🙌

Steve’s Answer

Construction jobs are in demand, especially for workers that are dependable. My best advice is to find a company that has a good reputation. You will want to be with a company that has a good history with the area, they are the ones that tend to treat their workers well and also take safety seriously. Learn as much as you can and practice good habits early in your career as those things will stick with you. Good luck!

That depends on the trade and where you want to work. Construction jobs are in demand So you shouldn't have any trouble starting off as a laborer or higher depending on your experience and how big the company is for openings.
Good luck and hope this helps.
