Over the last 21 years, I or my staff have interviewed a cumulative 45,000 job seekers. It’s easy but often dangerous to draw random anecdotal conclusions about things like industry wages and why simply from our experience. Ideally, we would be able to collect real verifiable data. So I built my first survey..which I’ve learned […]

If you’re going to be a roofer, then be the best damn professional there is. Not everyone is lucky enough to work with slate and copper…or should I say dedicated enough. It used to be that a roofer was someone who threw shingles on a roof.  Now a roof is a system. A good mechanic will […]

If you want your resume to get noticed, then stop making it read like a thousand other people who want the same job. Job Coaches who advise you to sell yourself are giving you bad advice. The act of selling implies that you are trying to convince hiring managers to trust that you are a good […]

Today I interviewed a girl who wanted to learn a trade and be just like April Wilkerson. Check out her channel. She’s pretty badass!

I was scanning some old files and found this positive endorsement of our company. We were in our 5th year back then. Kimberly had just earned her degree in Accounting from Canisius. If I am not mistaken, she is now a Controller at a prestigious law firm. I’m proud of her! I regret to inform […]

Hammer time from r/Perfectfit

It’s just about construction time in Buffalo. Time to get off your butt and get back to work 🙂 I’ve received calls for entry-level, general labor, and experienced helpers in just about every trade—commercial carpenters, plastering, restoration, landscaping, masonry, with much more to come very soon. This is not temp work, and we pay top […]

Journeyman level guys in just about every trade are impossible to find if you’re looking to hire. If your company can use a $30 wood framer to run jobs please reach out to me. I just so happen to know somebody looking for work.

Over the last 20 years, we’ve talked to 38,069 job seekers in WNY—The first 37,000 are probably wondering why I haven’t called them lately. Well life is short and you could get old waiting on me—so maybe it’s time to take action. Call me! I have 63 awesome jobs on my board! All we need is for […]

I just interviewed a Contract Administrator with 10 years of experience who actually knows what a G702 is. She’s close to finishing night school for her paralegal degree. She’s sharp. Ask me about #35846 Happy Friday!

Four different General Manager types that I’ve talked to over the last month that I cannot actually tell you about because they are all working. All have solid work histories, seem to have realistic expectations, and are pretty easy to imagine being in charge of getting stuff done. Priced between $40k and $70k, they come […]

This is a great overview of estimating. Watch this entire video before your next interview to be an estimator or an assistant estimator.

In 1989, April 28 was designated Workers Memorial Day to direct attention to workers who have been killed or injured on the job.   This day was chosen because it is the anniversary of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act). Today, OSHA, employers, labor unions, community groups and others around the world now […]
