u/Just-Construction-69

Hi all! I really feel burnt out working at my current job in higher ed. I wrapped up my MBA and wanted to go back and do another bachelors in Construction Management degree to go into the project management realm of construction. Went to a college fair, talked to people from a couple construction companies and all three said I didn’t need to get another degree with the experience I had in project coordination. I interviewed with Clark Construction and didn’t get past the second interview. So I been applying to jobs and my app is getting thrown out so quickly I’m sure because I have no experience in the field or a CM degree.

I’m a go getter and determined so I been teaching myself how to read drawings, terminology, safety, and spreadsheets relevant to construction. My uncle does cement work and I’ve been present at a handful of small projects he’s done.

Without adding anything too crazy, what fictional internship and duties can I add to my resume to land my first role?

P.S. Yes, I know about the new boots theory, so before I start a role I’ll be sure to get my boots scuffed up and dirty

I appreciate any advice/suggestions.

Hi! I am looking for help finding an internship. I just graduated with my MBA and have 3 years of experience in project planning, stakeholder communication, and scheduling, among other things related to this, but in the higher education sector.

The main reason I went into the MBA was to get into construction. I attended a career fair recently and was told by several construction companies that I should be okay with the experience I already have. At the fair, Clark Construction took my resume, and I got to the second interview for a Project Controls Position, but I am pretty sure a recent grad with internship experience or a degree more closely related to the field got the position.

I have applied for similar entry-level roles for the past month, but I have received only rejections. I'm sure because I have no experience with P6 and a degree in Construction Management or related.

Anyway, I was wondering if any of y'all could point me to somewhere I can apply for an internship for the summer or over the next year. I live in CA, but I am willing to take an internship pretty much anywhere in the country. Please let me know if your company is hiring interns, if you are hiring interns, or if you have any suggestions for me. Also, how can I learn P6 and CAD?

I'm happy to share my resume via DM if you or your company is hiring.

Thanks in advance!
