This is a Real Estate business that I am currently striving towards. In two years with lots of sweat equity, thousands of calls, and putting out countless business cards on distressed homes I managed to get one deal. With that money I tried to scale; using a text blast campaign for marketing, targeting code violations, water shut-offs, and fire damaged homes in every logical county of Florida (determined by population, and median home price). Eventually, coming to realize there was far too little capital to oversee this. Along with this, the market has become highly saturated; hence, a new strategy to achieve financial freedom. As my grandfather says "Fish where the fish are".

• Built strong networks with key stakeholders both internally and externally to support business growth objectives.
• Managed complex projects across multiple departments, ensuring timely completion within budget constraints.
• Evaluated market trends to identify new business opportunities and develop targeted growth strategies accordingly.

At this job within 2 1/2 months of being there, I started to oversee the schedules of our two sister stores. Going through 200-500 emails, scheduling contractors, finding location of supplies within stores, typing up countless work orders, and resolving issues with Home Builders when our contractors were in error. As well as, mentoring/training one new employee. Eventually leaving to pursue Real Estate.

• Supervised day-to-day operations to meet performance, quality and service expectations.
• Developed strong working relationships with staff, fostering a positive work environment.
• Promoted teamwork within the workplace by encouraging collaboration among staff members on various project tasks.
• Helped with planning schedules and delegating assignments to meet coverage and service demands.
• Mentored junior staff members in their professional development by offering guidance/support in their assigned roles.

I worked this job through my last two years of High School. Eventually coming back shortly after leaving Builders First Source; due to wanting consistent income, and scheduling that worked alongside my Real Estate dreams. I would leave again due to a complacent environment, and high expectations of work with little pay to compensate.

• Set positive example for team members by providing high-quality, efficient service.
• Taught new team members correct procedures for all areas of operations.
• Studied crew members during work shift to provide feedback and guidance in improving performance.
• Conducted hands-on demonstrations and practical exercises to reinforce learning concepts.
• I constantly did more than was ever asked of me.
