Welcome

Hello,

Welcome to the HR in Industrial Construction Blog. I came across some fun and informative HR blogs, and thought it would be a great idea to start my own blog. I've been in HR/Recruiting for over 7 years, but I just started in the construction industry last month. I find that commercial and residential construction are big industries, but industrial construction is a fairly small niche. It's difficult to find candidates with a lot of experience specifically in industrial construction. Examples of industrial construction are refineries and chemical plants. That reminds me- I should mention that I am in Houston, Texas. I've found it difficult to find training or a seminar that's an overview of construction for administrative people like me; all the construction training I've found is specific technical training. It's a very interesting industry though, and I'm very much looking forward to learning more about it.

Here are a couple of other HR Blogs to check out:

The most recent HR Carnival is posted on Ask A Manager:
