JCP Difference Makers: Help us support “She Builds It” Day of Community Giving
At Joseph Chris Partners, we take pride in our commitment to making a positive impact not just in our industry but also in our local community. Today, we're thrilled to share how our Difference Makers are actively supporting the “She Builds It” Day of Community Giving, organized by the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Greater Houston Chapter. This year, the event is dedicated to benefiting three incredible Houston area charities, each making a significant difference in the lives of women and families.
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.
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.

Construction Tech Talk: Artificial Intelligence (AI)
“Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the construction industry in many ways. AI technologies like machine learning and computer vision are being used to optimize construction workflows and improve project management.”
Construction Tech Talk: Drones in Construction
Drones are a very useful tool in the toolbox. Aside from being used for Super Bowl halftime shows or captivating my young niece and nephew, drones have a variety of incredibly interesting and useful applications in the construction industry.
