All it Cracked Up to Be?


The last job I had was being a project manager at Twin City Painting, where I would oversee multiple projects, be the primary client contact, be responsible for picking up supplies for each job, and overall be the main line of communication for my boss. As well as managing projects, I would also pre-power wash houses far in advance, so when the paint crews were free to work on the house, they could go straight into painting and not have to worry about any unnecessary prep work. I was glad that I finally had more responsibility on the paint crew, as I was previously very burnt out on the job in general, and was definitely considering leaving if something did not change. When my boss described the position to me, it was very appealing compared to what I was doing before, and actually influenced much of my decision to stay with the company. When I actually started off at the beginning of this new position, it was difficult for me, especially with all of the added responsibilities that I was taking on. It was my job to do my best to make sure projects were completed on time, this included motivating employees and creating strategies that would help get the job done as soon as possible. I felt like the job description was accurate overall, since I already knew what it took to get an actual project done on the smallest level, so once I was well versed in that, it was simply just scaling up.
