PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

 

Unemployed – Seeking Full-time Employment                                        2011 to 2015   

For the last three years I have been and am currently seeking full-time employment. The US construction industry is rebounding very slow. Since 2008, the recession has taken a serious toll on the economy. Developers, contractors and firms are slowly adding staff. However, persons with multiple degrees are being hired, bypassing persons with extensive years of experience and skill-sets.
