I have literally applied to at least 200 ads for a park manager, from Craigslist, Indeed, Monster, Workpop, and every other online site I could find. I have experience, a degree in computers, and am a loyal and honest employee.
The trend also seems to be leaning towards management teams only. For some reason owners and management companies feel that a couple is the best fit so the wife can do the office work and the husband can do the maintenance, security, etc, type work. Do I have to get married to find a position somewhere?
My office skills are unmatched, I’ve always been able to keep a high occupancy rate, I’ve even had to train other managers and my own supervisors. I can even handle some maintenance work. I’m the type of manager that owners dream of, but it doesn’t really show in my resume, so they don’t give me a chance.
The last position I was considered for, they told me I was perfect for the job, was everything they wanted in a manager except that I wasn’t a team, and they only wanted a couple.
Property management is my passion, I love the work, I’m good at it, and it’s what I want to do. But if I can’t find a position after so much searching is it time to consider another career?
Were are you located ? I am just wondering because I am in the process of trying to secure a 52 lot park and the investor may need someone to manage it … its located in central fl area … it is in the finishing stages of the land development and really all that’s left is the pads to be installed and a few other odds and ends …then its ready for lots to be leased … since they will be owner units …no real maintenance needed except lawn and things that would require a service call from a qualified professional . you can send me your resume if you are interested … be sure to include your salary requirements and if you require housing … my email is … short.term.investments1 at gmail dot com … not sure if they allow emails so i wrote it out …
look forward to hearing from you and ill certainly pass it along to my investment partner … God Speed…Michael
