The Managers were very professional and very kind. I really enjoyed the conversation. I would say that it was difficult because they had roughly 10 questions they asked regarding customer service and specific experiences in property management.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Why do you think Customer Service is important? How do you handle clients when they are upset and complain?

Behavioral Technical Presentation

I think I saw this job on indeed.com. The manager I would have assisted reached out via email and set up an in person interview. We talked in her office and it was really nice, felt like catching up with an old friend. Then, she set up a second interview. The second interview was with the division president, his executive assistant, the accounting controller, and another manager I would be assisting. That one felt more intimidating with more people, but they were all nice and I felt comfortable by the end. I sent thank you emails to the managers after and got an offer by the end of the week, which I took.

Got selected from resume screening. An associate confirmed my interview and did a quick phone call as a pre-interview step. Then I got invited to their clubhouse for an interview. I met with the Manager and the person whose job I would be taking over. They mentioned they were interviewing at least one more candidate. Two days later, I got an email saying they hired someone more qualified.

Behavioral Presentation

The hiring process starts with postings on Craigslist. You'll have a phone interview, followed by a meeting with one or both managers. Some interviewees reported not getting a word in, but I made sure to dominate the conversation. They'll give you a list of 20-25 personality questions and ask you to pick and answer five. References are required and will be contacted. Honestly, I'd advise looking elsewhere. I was not happy with my experience or the management.
