Women Building California Conference 2010

Organized Labor

Petina Perkins, Carpenter
I've worked nine years as a journeymen. I worked on the Bay Bridge, 50 feet up in the air. That gets your adrenaline going. Right now it is slow, but I'm surviving. To get work these days you have to market yourself. I go to different job sites, talk to people, give them my resume, or fax it to employers. This conference has been great for networking.
