This Week in Jobs DMV: Constructive Behavior

Editor’s note: Every week we ship an email newsletter featuring the region’s most exciting career opportunities. We’ve lovingly called it This Week in Jobs (aka TWIJ — “twidge.”). Below is this week’s edition; it’s meant to live in your inbox. Sign up for the newsletter here.

Breaking the Concrete Ceiling

Employers looking to fill a position can have a hard time when they have a preconceived idea of their perfect candidate. But sometimes they can find a great fit even if a candidate doesn’t match this initial image.

The National Association of Women in Construction is trying to make this latter scenario a more common reality for women looking to enter the male-dominated construction industry. The organization hosts camps for young girls in Baltimore and beyond where they learn about skilled trade work and even get hands-on experience with construction equipment.

So the next time you see a job opportunity that you think you’re not an ideal fit for, don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and show that you can perform, despite others’ expectations.
