Construction Worker Training Skills
The education requirements may depend on what type of construction job you want. The requirements may include a high school diploma, a bachelor’s degree, or certification. For jobs such as a carpenter, house painter, or general contractor, you only need a high school diploma. Knowing how to use hand tools and equipment: such as a hammer, saw, and tape measure, as well as basic math skills and an eye for measurements are helpful.
A construction manager or construction superintendent must have a bachelor’s degree in construction management or a related field and at least one year of practical experience. A master’s degree or advanced construction certifications are sometimes required of construction managers.
Often, subsectors of the construction industry require special licensing, such as asbestos removal and plumbing. But make sure you verify if your location requires a license or certification if you don’t already have one. To learn more, check out Monster’s job description for a construction supervisor.
Update Your Construction Worker Resume
Before you start applying for construction jobs, write an impressive resume that will make you stand out from other applicants and leave a good impression on your potential employers. Make sure your resume highlights the skills and qualities employers are looking for. Check out Monster’s resume samples and some writing tips to help you write the best resume that will catch an employer’s attention.
In a cover letter, you can communicate how your professional experience aligns with the company’s needs and your interest in the job. A well-written cover letter can set you apart from other candidates.
Interviewing for a Construction Job
When an employer reads your resume and cover letter, they will be curious to know more about you. A lot of employers in the construction industry are interested in how reliable, experienced, and competent you are. During an interview for a general contractor job, an employer might ask whether you own safety equipment like steel-toe boots or a hard hat. But if you are applying for a construction manager position, you will need to demonstrate your experience managing a project, working with vendors, and working with subcontractors. During the interview, you are likely to be asked the following questions:
- Can you tell me about your previous construction experience?
- What tools are you familiar with or own?
- What kind of safety training have you had?
- Can you tell us about your job-related challenges?
Part of being fully prepared for an interview is good research. Monster has lots of articles to help you have a successful interview.
