Book Review by Business Owner
Saturday, March 16, 2019 at 01:59PM Building success In the Trades provides a concise look at exploring early, mid and advanced careers in the trades. Today as more and more individuals are being directed to college rather than the trades, this book outlines the options of pursuing a trade. It also allows the reader to realize that the trades may not be for them.
The demands for tradesmen are growing along with excellent pay and benefit opportunities. This book points out what is important in determining and in succeeding in the trades – work experience, education, and licensing. It also provides excellent instruction on preparing for interviews and resume writing.
Easy to read, this book is an excellent tool for individuals who are considering or seeking careers in the trades. Having had ownership of a home construction company, I found this book to provide sound advise for individuals exploring the trade industries.  Diana
