07 Aug Helping Build America: Jess’s Career in Construction Staffing
Sometimes the best career opportunities are the ones you never planned for.
For Jess, a career in staffing began with a simple job search. While browsing opportunities on Indeed, she came across a position that caught her interest. With a background in project management and experience helping startup companies grow, she realized her skills transferred naturally into the world of staffing.
Today, three and a half years later, she has found a career she truly loves.
Connecting Great People with Great Opportunities
Jess works in full service staffing, but her company’s specialty is the construction industry. Every day, she helps connect skilled workers with employers who need talented people to build homes, businesses, and infrastructure across the country.
She believes staffing is about much more than filling job openings. It is about helping companies grow while creating opportunities for people to build rewarding careers.
One of the reasons Jess enjoys her work so much is knowing she plays a small part in projects that shape communities.
“You get to build America,” she says. “It’s amazing.”
Give It Everything You’ve Got
For anyone interested in a career in staffing, Jess has straightforward advice.
“Go in full force and give it everything you’ve got. Put your heart into it because you only get as much out of it as you put into it.”
She also believes continuous learning is essential. Industries change, hiring needs evolve, and the best staffing professionals continue learning so they can better serve both employers and job seekers.
Building Careers While Building Communities
At 31 years old, Jess has found a profession that combines relationship building, problem solving, and helping others succeed.
Her story is a reminder that careers do not always begin with a lifelong plan. Sometimes they begin with being open to new opportunities and recognizing how the skills you already have can lead to an entirely new profession.
Whether someone is interested in construction, manufacturing, healthcare, or another skilled industry, staffing professionals help connect talented people with opportunities that can change lives.
