Construction Tech Talk: Wearable Safety Tech
We’ve all seen that iconic picture (and modern recreations of it) of the ironworkers eating lunch 800 feet above Manhattan near the top of the Rockefeller Center with no safety harnesses to be seen. I know it was a publicity stunt to promote the new building, but it still makes me queasy knowing that a stiff breeze could cause a serious incident. A lot has changed regarding site safety in the past hundred years or so…hard hats, safety goggles, and reflective vests are all mandatory. It’d be unheard of to walk out on a beam 69 floors up on a modern construction site without being tied to a safety tether.

Veronica’s Seeds of Wisdom: Being an open-minded leader is key to retention
Lessons on work and life from Veronica Ramirez, CEO & President, Joseph Chris Partners
Keep it Simple: a Crash Course on Writing (or Rewriting) a Resumé
A major part of a recruiter’s job is to introduce people to our clients based on their current (and future) requirements. The best way to get to know a candidate’s professional history is to review their resumé. Some resumés are good and some…need improvement. That’s ok! I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve reworked mine over my professional career. The overarching goal is to sell yourself to a hiring manager via a page or two to get to the stage of selling yourself in person (or phone or video call) at an interview. Your resumé is likely the first impression of you that a hiring manager will see. Crisp, clean, and simple. Keep it simple. Keep it simple. Keep it simple.

Life Lessons from Ted Lasso
Ted Lasso was born during the pandemic lockdown when the whole world needed something good. If you’re never watched an episode, Ted Lasso is the story of a Kansas football coach who moved across the ocean to manage a Premiere League soccer team, and slowly won over the players, owner, and fans with nothing more than his heart. He knew nothing about soccer, and he didn’t care about winning matches. He just wanted to help his players become better versions of themselves.
As I laughed, and even cried, through the series finale this morning, I appreciated that we got to have Ted in our lives for the last three years, and I’ll miss him.
Ted defined success as impact not as winning, as connection not as hustle. For a protagonist in a sports story, that’s rare. All the stories we love to watch, and the great players and coaches are all lauded for never giving up, for having superhuman drive, for their relentless pursuit of perfection.
Ted’s story is different. And Lasso’s Way can be applied on the pitch or in the conference room or to life in general.
Let’s talk about Mental Health in the Construction Industry
Conversations are flowing more freely about mental health and self-care, resources are more readily available, as are mental health professionals. But still, our industry specifically is facing staggering numbers of suicides and other mental health issues compared to other non-military occupations.
