::IDEAS PLEASE::: We have a large hospital nearby that has 100s of new employees moving to town. I’m trying to target these newcomers to let them know of our 4 weeks free special and $250 gift card specific for them as a preferred employer special. I’ve reached out to recruiting for the hospital and they’ve not been very interested in assisting. Trying to think of other ways to get the word out to these medical professionals coming from out of... Show more

Katie Rigsby Sell it to recruiting as a benefit of working with their facility. They can use it as a tool to attract new hires but you have to sell it to them that way.
*You might also reach out to current residents who work there and make them "ambassadors".
*Reach out to HR/benefits as well and offer to provide breakfast or lunch in exchange for 10 minutes of speaking time at their next open enrollment meeting. This is a time when benefits are being discussed and you can sell yourself as an added benefit.
*deliver donuts or milkshakes or whatever to a different department each week and leave a flyer. I used to deliver blizzards and they LOVED them!!

I hope everyone had a good weekend.

Send positive vibes y’all.

Job Hopping, The Stigma.
Frequent job-hopping is still a red flag. Employers may worry about your loyalty or that you only stick around long enough to learn what you want and then leave, which is expensive for them.
Some job-hoppers are dissatisfied with where a particular job leads in the future, so they hop to another job with a better career path. Job-hoppers may also switch because they discover they don’t like the work or aren’t a good...

Job Hopping, The Stigma.Frequent job-hopping is still a red flag.

Megan Goodmundson We need to remove the stigma of changing jobs. A good interviewer will 100% absolutely be able to distinguish between a job hopper with less than a strong work ethic versus a strong dedicated worker who is looking for growth and opportunity.

Guest Insider They SAY it doesn't bother them, but we all know it does. Half the time I left because my supervisors were heartless, single-minded jerks that blamed everyone else for their failures. The other half was because of property sales or management contract changes.

Donje Putnam I've changed jobs for health insurance and 401K once because my job didn't offer those things, once for a lot more money, for work-life balance, and because I moved. I left multifamily once and had a short stint at a PR company, which I enjoyed, but I missed the challenge and went back. What happens a lot in our industry is that the management company puts caps on raises but hires new employees at high rates. You could end up with tenure, making the same as a newbie. This is aggravating so you look for a new job (laterally) and hop over to make more. Can you blame folks for doing that?

Guest Insider Ouch. Have you considered adding outside security cameras for this area and sign it appropriately? In the utility lease addendum, you can add fees for not following protocol and signs for illegal dumping (for non residents). If ownership won't approve the cost of a few security cameras, show them the cost of this clean up. I bet the cameras would have been cheaper, you'll save on labor and added utility fees, and may make some additional Rev from it.

Quick question !!
Would you let a resident who decided to break into their apartment two weeks before they move in, has not signed a lease, and only paid a deposit… continue to move forward with the move-in and lease signing?

Megan Goodmundson It wasn’t their apartment. Period. It was a vacant apt. Absolutely not. And forfeit deposit. Charge all repairs and time back to them too. Press charges.

Mark Tanguay it would be advisable to separate these two things. Since they have not signed a lease, they have no right to an apartment at this time.
1. file criminal charges against them, including a trespass order.
2. inform them that since they have pending criminal charges, you are willing to hold their deposit until the outcome of the trial or return their deposit.
3. Proceed with the criminal charges and collect damages through the court.
4. If they are found guilty, deny their application and return their deposit due to criminal history. If they are found not guilty, you can still request the trespass order. If it's denied, you would most likely have to rent to them... after they sign a lease.

David Snyder Tacky, rude and not very professional IMO. But in the end, it depends on what company you work for, the property, and the level of professionalism that’s maintained.
