Opis

At forty-five, Ellen Ford was unemployed and looking for a career change when an architectural drawing course started her down a path she'd never considered. Based on her success in the course and interest in the subject area, a college advisor recommended she enter the school's construction management program. The idea was intimidating. To succeed, Ellen would have to overcome deep-seated test anxiety while studying a discipline where women were, at best, a minority. But Ellen would thrive in the world of construction management-even though in the months after graduating, jobs always seemed one interview away despite her honors performance in college. The mid-1980s were difficult for women in construction. Ellen persisted, however, eventually landing a position as a project manager for one of the nation's leading construction management teams. This lady wore a hard hat-and she wore it well. An inspirational and instructional treatise on one woman's personal transformation offering professional recommendations for those in the field, The Lady Wore a Hard Hat: Building Medical Facilities is a fascinating window into the world of construction management that details the many challenges, issues, and rewards associated with overseeing the construction of major medical facilities.
