"One day, when I was talking with a rental agency, they mentioned that they were seeing an increase in out-of-town inquiries. So I organized an event to bring these prospective tenants together. I observed them very closely and identified what they had in common and who got along with each other. I also found out what they liked and disliked about the building. Essentially, I conducted a very cost-effective focus group and found out what kind of demographic our building appeals to the most. I used that experience to inform our marketing efforts going forward, and that helped reduce our vacancy rates and improved the quality of our tenants."

Interviewers love to hear how innovative and independent you have been in your past positions to further the success of the company. Think about something you implemented or a new opportunity you pursued that was well received. Tell the interviewer what you decided to do, what steps you took to get it done, and be sure to mention how well it was received after it was done!

In talking to the residents I found that most people were afraid to speak out in the monthly resident counsels. I set up a comment box where they could make suggestions or address concerns anonymously.
