Hey Kathy,
What type of construction do you do, are you union? I'm also in the field, a union carpenter, there's alot of work going on in Boston, ma

Hello ded,

Thanks for the email, I do not belong to a union, if I could find a job, and if it is union I would join. If you know if they are needed people (woman) worker, I would be willing to travel the the job. Kathy Anderson

I understand completely!! i went to school for heavy equip
and applied for several jobs in my surrounding area, i am willing to relocate, etc. i have applied through the operatorsengineers appretiship twice now, and getting ready to apply again! any women construction employers?

You have to stand out from the rest. Start applying for apprenticships with the unemployment office so they can put you on a mailing list. Just for starters, second sometime we have to show up at these worksites before work begin just to get the information to were to fill out the job. Keep your head up and just remember to get names and job titles so dropping names when you ask for employment wont be that hard. At least they will know you did some leg work.
By the way I am a welder, and I know how hard it is for us in the field.

i agree with you totally and thanks for your advice and support,
i am applying with apprentices, 3 rd time, going back home
to alaska to apply again! :-) for 2009.
Thanks again!

I have also been applying all over for construction. I just want to get a foot in the door and get some experience cause i know i will enjoy this. I am also willing to go back to school if i have to. I am more of a outdoor hands on kind of girl. Anyway, i can work as good as the any man can. I am willing to relocate as long as i can get out of north dakota.
