How would you answer this interview question? Tell me about a time when you had to choose between doing what was right and doing what was popular or convenient.

this happened 4 years ago, i work in property maintenance and it was my job to oversee contractors , we had an ice storm that came through the property and did 1.1 million in damages to a stack of condominiums, one of the water mitigation companies came onto and was hired by the HOA in times past was put on property by the property management company to do the mitigation of a stack of 3 units in the condos i worked for, anyways , they came in stripped the ceiling in the top floor demolished the floor of the second floor and wanted immediate access to the lower floor units , after the mess of dragging their contaminated debris from the 2 upper units through the hallways down the stairs , down the sidewalks culminating in the parking lot where that tracked back and fourth each time when i go to the property i asked them for their hazmat findings on asbestos and whether any of the units were tested , they said they didn't have that available, i told them to pack their gear up that they were done on the property, and don't come back until they followed state and city codes , they did so and in turn filed for a paycheck of $40,000 for their man power and the work they did on property, the HOA non of which dealt with the contractors were instructed by the Property management company to pay the bill, i said hold on a minute is that the way things work here, their response was were bound by what the property management company directs us to do, i said no your not your bound to your residents first and for most, the property management could care less for your living they are only interested in their bottom dollar they can suck out of you, long story short the HOA were about to send them $40,000 on top of the initial $15,000 initial down payment, i said no i cant sign off on the mitigations crew and the work they provided, and they the mitigation crew didn't want to talk to me, so they hired an attorney to press the HOA for payment and that's when i got the call from the Ex president of the HOA who hired me in the first place and had actual 40+ years on property with state and local laws come to me asking if i knew anything about the hold up of the money transfer to the mitigation crew as it hit the open fundings reports to the tenants , and that is when i filled him in, you see i wasn't hired by property management, i was 3rd party hired by the HOA and property to work independently of the property management company to oversee their work and to work for the best interests of the property and the homeowners directly to take the heat off the HOA directly, so back to the ex president asking about the bill i , explained everything to him and how the mitigation company screwed up their job on our property , he said i did my job by the book putting the property first, when he found out the current HOA were just going to spend the money and not follow up with city ordinances that when he blew a headgasket, long story short both him and i called the attorney, the hoa, and the mitigation crew owner to the property and i showed them pictures of the residents videos sent to me , we walked the units, i showed them the exterior of the property and the mess they created, the lack of asbestos testing and the reports, and that is when the attorney turned to the owner of the company and said he can no longer represent him in their interests as everything i claimed painted the picture that we were in the right to not pay for the services offered and received. the owner of the company was paid the initial $15,000 and received no further payments, 6 months later the HOU turned my contract over to the property management company, and 4 weeks after that i was terminated from employment from the company...so i saved them a $40,000 payment and was summarily discharged shortly there after.

When you receive an offer, do you accept immediately, negotiate terms, or take time to think about it?

Normally I would always think and ponder about with the situation,flip it around and truly figure out the best way it would fit in my life.... and lastly I negotiate exactly what is fair, safe and secure for me and whomever is offering me the opportunity.

Yes

How would you answer this common interview question? "Why are you looking for a new job right now?

I'm always looking for extra work

I want a career not a dead end job. A place I can grow and learn

If a teammate confided in you about wanting to quit, would you encourage them to stay or help them move on?

I would tell them to stay until they found a better job in these days now cost of living is high and everything is going up just quitting would not be a good solution finding another job to maintain a steady income would be very logical cause what if you quit now and can’t find another job and your last check is gone you set yourself up to lose both ways

What ever the case may be yes I would help them move on to a job that they would like: Or try to keep them on until you hire more employees then they can move on

How would you answer: “What motivates you to come to work every day?

la satisfacion de entregar un buen resultado ( producto) y ser parte de esa meta.

I have bills responsibilities and ppl that depend on me to withhold the financial structure but that’s not all that motivates me to come to work the job cares ppl there cares it’s not a stressful environment that’s hurts me mentally

Should you put your desired pay on your resume or in an application? Why or why not?

No. Sometimes, HR managers might try to lowball a salary or wages for a given position.

no, absolutely not.

Remote Only...Disabled
Im considered permanently disabled...However, i would like to contribute..its hard to convey on sites..like "hey im disabled..what do you have that fits that?" ..example..Amazon..etc .i have no choice but remote..Exclusively! Help!! #advice #jobsearch #workfromhome #remoteonly
Always always do what is right you will never regret it. Our team was a mixed bag of personalities and very competitive with each other plus straight commission can bring out the sharks!! When our customers would come in to see a certain sales person they would ask for him or her. If we were off and they made a sale on that customer it was a split. Caught a few saying no name was mentioned, which could happen once in a while but this is like stealing and really bad ! Eventually it will catch up with the sales associate lying and much worse for a stable work environment! Always do the right thing!!
