Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dirt Talk Q&A – DT 420
Q: What should you value starting out as a recent grad?
Prioritize field experience over time spent in an office. Seek internships that place you in the field, but also look for employers offering ownership sharing or bonus structures that align with long-term growth. Use field time to build credibility and practical understanding that will benefit you later in leadership roles.
Dirt Talk Q&A – DT 420
Q: How do you overcome a lack of leadership?
Develop as a leader yourself by focusing on your sphere of influence, reading foundational leadership books, auditing your daily actions, and modeling curiosity and humility. If leadership gaps persist, seek a workplace that supports strong leadership and growth, or move to a company where leadership aligns with your development needs.
Dirt Talk Q&A – DT 420
Q: What's the best way to find a role in the industry from the outside?
Be proactive and persistent: identify companies you admire, contact leaders in those firms, and articulate your transferable skills. Demonstrate willingness to start in the field or at an entry level, and use direct outreach rather than relying on online applications alone to get noticed.
Dirt Talk Q&A – DT 420
Q: What's the best way to make it into management from the field?
Take ownership of your path: talk to someone in leadership, explain your goals, and request a clear pathway. If possible, pursue an office-based role through conversations with PMs, estimators, or owners, and supplement with targeted internships or cross-training. If internal pathways are limited, actively reach out to outside opportunities and use direct outreach (phone, LinkedIn) to connect with decision-makers.
Dirt Talk Q&A — DT 396
