Attn: Human Resources Department
Historically: My two previous employers were D&J Properties and Muggee
Management and with 10 years in H.O.A. Management, my work experience
covers all areas of H.O.A. management. My responsibilities included
oversight of both full service and financial only service accounts. When
in 2005 Muggee Management opened a branch office in Pasadena I was given
responsibility to establish, develop and oversee the creation of a branch
office in Pasadena. Under my responsibility the office served as the
primary customer contact as well as field representative for approximately
75% of the cliental until the company downsized office staff and closed the
branch in 2008. While at D&J Properties from 1998 through 2003 my
responsibilities covered Customer Service, Administration, Property
Management and Maintenance Supervisor. In addition I was the after hours
emergency supervisor and promoted to Maintenance supervisor responsible for
oversight and scheduling of the in-house maintenance department.
Currently: To expand my understanding of building maintenance in 2007 I
enrolled and completed an accredited course in Property/Home Inspection and
combined with 5-8 years of field experience am seeking a position within,
but not limited to, Property Management as a "Facilities" Manager focusing
on day to day maintenance and special project oversight. Due to my
Manager's background I have experience interacting with a broad range of
contractors and City building inspectors. I am well acquainted with bid
analysis and comparison while keeping budgetary concerns in focus. I am
experienced in communicating necessary information to managers and have
acted as a liaison to Board Members and or property owners.
I would appreciate the opportunity to relate the experience detailed in the
enclosed r sum to positions in your Company, answer any questions you may
have and explain how my background can be of value to your long-term
interests.
Sincerely,
G. M. Pruess
