What unexpected insights did your first job reveal about yourself and your career path? I went to New York City College of Technology in New York as an international student in 2006 and graduated in 2011. After my graduation, I started working as a construction inspector, conducting inspections of concrete, steel, grout, waterproofing and other materials in the tri-state area of New York City. I hardly use to make enough fortune then for survival and it really use to be one of the toughest jobs in the construction trade and people working in the same trade are much familiar with it. Frigid mornings, snow storms and freezing cold temperatures this is what I remember the most out of all! I started my struggle and started building my career path and realized my potential that if I am capable of doing such hard work then I think I deserve to be at some place better? Conclusion of the story is that a career path begins with your devotion to work and commitment and if you think you have the potential for that please carry on to this bumpy road and truly one day you will achieve what you have desired? Remember! hard work always pays you off, sooner or later it comes you just have to hang in there. A journey from a construction inspector to a project management professional...
