Finding new employees to fill Construction Management Jobs Openings is always a difficult prospect for any employer. It is like rolling dice: the employer is gambling that he will find a candidate who went to a good technical school and completed the bachelor's degree requirements to get certified in the academic fields of civil engineering, construction management, or construction science and thus be the best person to hire for those Construction Management Jobs Openings. What adds on to the pressure on the employer is that Construction Management Jobs Openings may need to be filled in fast if he has clients presenting Construction Projects to be bidded on.
One of the worst ways to fill Construction Management Jobs Openings is to hire relatives –especially relatives who lack any kind of experience in the field of Construction Management aside from an internship or two maybe. There is some value to hiring only candidates who have the best technical prowess for this highly technical field.
Think about it carefully: what do we do in Construction Management Jobs? Answer: we build structures. And not just any kind of structures – in Construction Management Jobs, the employees build roads, bridges and buildings. So where is the problem then in hiring a relative to fill Construction Management Jobs Openings?
The problem lies not so much in the fact that your new hiree is a relative but the fact that employers who hire relatives are often under duress from other relatives to hire family members. And when an employer is under duress, the Construction Management Jobs Openings may go to someone who is not so skilled, not so experienced, and totally green for the job – but is family. In this kind of situation, a prudent employer would hear warning bells going off in his head already.
Those warning bells may be remarkably similar to the sound of the ambulances racing to the scene of the jobsite where the greenhorn employee has jurisdiction over. There are any number of potentially dangerous decisions a greenhorn relative-employee could make after filling one of the Construction Management Jobs Openings. As a Construction Manager, he might have ordered sub-standard cement and sub-standard steel for a building being constructed. Maybe he had the company's interests at heart (saying to himself: if I save some money by ordering sub-standard cement and steel, the company benefits at the bottom line.) However, this greenhorn has just put every single person working at the jobsite in mortal peril by ordering sub-standard cement and sub-standard steel. And if by some miracle the building still gets built without any accidents or casualties, that building is still a dangerous structure that should never have been built at all.
In the Reader's Digest back in the 1970s, they ran an article about a certain hotel where dancers were enjoying the music at two pedestrian walkways that had been built one over the other. These walkways were like mini-bridges connecting the two sides of the building to one another, so that if you were at the lower walkway you would be directly beneath the second walkway. Well, to the shock and amazement of all, the upper walkway broke loose (cement, steel and all) from its moorings to the sides of the building and fell – straight onto the lower walkway were people were trapped, immobilized with fear. The dancers on the lower walkway were pinned to their death. The cause was the use of sub-standard construction materials and a faulty architectural design - a true story that you can easily verify by going through the Reader's Digest archives.
"But my cousin/son/brother/nephew would never do something like that!," the employer who offered the Construction Management Jobs Openings to the relative may say. Well, maybe the greenhorn relative might not deliberately make such an error – but the reason you should never hire a greenhorn for sensitive
Construction Management Jobs Openings is because, well, he is green and may make errors that are not only costly in the end financially, but may wind up killing many people too.
Construction Management Jobs Openings belong only to the best and the brightest in the field. Allow a relative to be hired for one of your Construction Management Jobs Openings only if he is the best and the brightest that you know for the job. Because the main responsibility an employer posting Construction Management Jobs Openings has is to assure the safety of the project first –everything else is secondary.
