Real Estate Office Manager
Resume:
Good day;
My name is Merrie Cole. I haven’t been unemployed for over 40 years. My resume has not been updated in 20 years, but it is accurate. I’ll cover the last 20 plus years in this cover letter. I am also a California licensed real estate agent.
At the end of September 2023, I took a temporary job through Robert Half Employment Agency for a lady on maternity leave. She will be coming back in January. The dates were from September 27, 2023, through January 12, 2024.
Since January 2003 to July 2023, I worked for Gorman Real Estate located in Pacific Grove, California. I was the office manager. I was personally responsible for over 210 properties. In January, 2023, Steve Gorman decided to retire and sell his business, hence my reason for looking for other work.
This is a complete account of my daily duties for the jobs I have had over my employment history. There is more if you read between the lines, but this hits all the high points. For all the other jobs I’ve had over the years, I have covered in my resume. (SEE BELOW).
I have outstanding, written recommendations from each and every former employer which you’re welcome to receive upon request.
Respectfully submitted,
Merrie H. Cole
