MISS MANAGEMENT
CAROL LEVEY | LEVEY ENTERPRISES
Should I Stay or Should I Go?
I started as a weekend leasing person in college, then took a full-time position
after graduation. I'm now an assistant manager. Friends and family are
questioninig my career decision since I now have experience, I'm energetic,
good with people and ripe for opportunities that are now available. So here’s
my question. What kind of career is viable in property management?
I
love that song! I also applaud you asking the
question. You need to ask to sort out your
options. If you add purpose to a job that you
enjoy, you’re more likely to establish goals and
achieve objectives. These are the foundations of a
satisfying career which is usually a major part of
a happy life.
It sounds like all your experience has been
onsite at two locations with one company? Let’s
begin with asking your career question to those
around you starting with your manager, others
that supervise and support within your company.
Add several questions to extend your quest for
enlightenment.
Examples: Who else do you think I should
ask about property management as a career? Is
there an event, class and/or site I can check out?
The point is this. Do I believe that property
management offers satisfying careers? Absolute-
ly! I have enjoyed an amazing career that is filled
with experiences and people I cherish. I have also
had the privilege to meet, teach and coach with-
in the industry all over the U.S. so I know the
caliber of countless others that have enjoyed ca-
reers beyond their initial scope of expectation.
Look around your work place with your “ca-
reer face” on. You are providing essential housing
and personal customer service. You are accomplish-
ing team building, financial accountability and
operational management routines equivalent to a
substantial retail store. Soon if your company is
keeping up with “industry best practices” you will
be enhancing residential services with additional
convenience and more sensitivity to the environ-
ment. Multihousing will operate smarter through
more connectivity. The natural progression with-
in our industry demands career professionals. You
are at the beginning, not the end. So, maybe you
stay and get going?
