When I moved out to Orem I worked at my apartment complex at a cleaner/whatever they wanted me to do. After some changes that were made do to mistakes made by the previous secretary I got promoted after three months of working there to Secretary. I worked with Ledgers and rent with everyone that worked there. I don't know if it's good luck for me or bad luck for everyone else I've worked with but the manager I was working with at the time had no idea what she was going. She was terrible with computers and with managing apartment. It got the point where the residents would come to me and ask me to help them with their problems because they knew if I was told something was wrong it would get done! I worked with this manager for about seven months until I was finally so sick of it that I went to the owner and explained what was going on and things that needed to be changed. Well not even a week later she was fired we had a new Manager (Who I love working with!) and I was promoted to Assistant Manager! I was getting pay raises and paid vacation my first part time job started feeling like a real career the funny thing was I didn't even apply for any of these jobs there were just given to me and offered! I've loved working with student and managing apartments. Well about a month ago David one of the owners told me about a job that was going to be opening up soon at another property they own called Alpine Court. He told me if I wanted the job as manager its mine. It would work perfect if we were planning on having a family and until then I could still work as Assistant manager at Village. I was so excited of course I wanted it! But it wasn't going to open up until May or June. I put it to the back of my mind and didn't want to get over excited because it was so far away and what if the current manager changed her mind and wanted to stay. Good news! I had my year mark (more like year and a half) review and David told me the job was available DECEMBER 3RD!!! I was so excited I think my jaw DROPPED! So I'm starting December 3rd. I'm moving into the CUTEST little house right around the corner from the complex. It has so much character and lots of storage something we don't have right now. I'm so excited and glad that they see I'm working hard and earning their respect! Below is a picture of the new place i start managing in December.
