Contractors have revealed what they look for in potential employees and although the right staff may be difficult to find, this does not put firms off from trying, a report says.
And for those of you working, or considering a career, in quantity surveying, if you have experience in the commercial side of the market you could just be what companies are after, Andrea Walton, human resources director from Morgan Est tells the Contract Journal.
"Even when you are dealing with a high volume of CVs, it is important to be able to give people a good experience - they need a positive and quick response," says Ms Walton about the recruitment process.
In news that may interest contracting firms, would-be students are becoming interested in a career in construction, boosted by the sponsorships available to them in the industry, the journal claims.
Steps to get that perfect job include a strong CV, experience and commercial nous, it adds.
Further news which could interest job-seekers out there is that Brymbo-based Read Construction is offering courses aimed at anyone in this field, whether you are already working or looking to work in the industry, reports the Evening Leader.
