I also have a difficult time achieving a high level career.
Project management involves alot of phone calls, meetings, and paperwork.
In estimating its mostly interpreting specifications, blueprints and quantity takeoffs. In this area its easy for me because im not really dealing alot with the hearing people. However, im concerned with the job security cuz if I dont win enough bids for a company i could lose my job. So in summary, I hope there is someone like Tom or others who have some experience in the construction industry or management in general, and wish to provide some feedback or advice on overcoming obstacles in terms of communications with hearing people.
