Week 3 Post

The most recent job that I still have is not a position where there is a job description or an application process. I currently work for my parents who work for themselves in property management. They manage rentals as well as renovating houses they have bought. I enjoy working or them in this industry because it is flexible, and they are always doing something new. Today I am going to help them put on siding that we took down and refinished. We had to strip the house down to its bones and replace studs as well as all of the plumbing and electrical. It is coming down the home stretch as we are about to finish the exterior which was a long process including replacing windows and moving doors. When referencing this position on resumes I have used “Handyman” as a title which really only scratches the surface of what I have learned over the years. I have interacted with tenants on a regular basis while repairing small things while they are still occupying the unit. I have also done electrical and plumbing repairs and replacements as well as a ton of carpentry. I should come up with a job description that would help me better explain my experience working in this diverse job that has presented me with many opportunities to learn new skills. Another reason why I like working in this type of job is the fact that I am able to use my problem solving skills on a regular basis.
