Female General Contractor?

[Kozette Feaster]

Happy Monday BP. This is my 1st post so please bear with me. I am a licensed realtor inspiring to become a full time investor (buy/hold and PM). What 2 things in the RE world do we hear the most complaints? The ability to find an excellent GC and PM firm! So I set out to solve these issues at least in my area. LOL My issue as I am trying not to get emotional about is working as a laborer, carpenter help etc until I take and pass my MHIC (home improvement license). My last interview was for an entry level position I assumed everything was going well until he closed with" You want to be the Hillary Clinton of real estate" another called me a female Donald Trump. Please I have nothing against these 2 individuals but am I being ridiculed because I am a feminine female???? I looked with in me 1st, so now I wear casual attire with my steel toe boots and tool bag. yes it is purple but its a TOOL BAG. I really don't want to believe that in 2014 we have female bias this strong. With my Contractor/Construction management education and real estate license I still need 6-9months of on the job training to qualify to take the MHIC. Frustrated!
