Jake Smith

Jake presents as a qualified carpenter with 10 years experience who left the trade for disability support work and now wants to return. His long tenure at one employer (9+ years at JAK building) is exceptional and suggests reliability. However, the career pivot raises questions about commitment to carpentry, and there's no evidence of high-end architectural work that Kingston Con requires. His cover letter shows effort and mentions quality workmanship, but lacks specifics about premium residential projects. The disability support experience demonstrates maturity and communication skills, which are valuable. Worth a screening call to understand: (1) why he left carpentry, (2) what level of finish work he's actually done, and (3) whether his standards align with Kingston Con's premium positioning.
