      Answer Example

      "In my previous role, the owner of the commercial property I managed wanted to give the shopping center a facelift. They wanted to completely renovate all storefronts and signage to make the building appear more modern. I knew this project would take careful planning, with all of the contractors and workers to coordinate and manage. I assembled a trusted team including an architect, a designer, a structural engineer, and a construction crew. During the course of this project, I set deadlines and held all parties accountable for their work. I communicated regularly with tenants and with the owners so there were no surprises or unexpected issues. I spearheaded the project and received great feedback that it was well organized and everything was communicated very clearly. I am still very proud of taking on this project and seeing it through to completion, on schedule and under budget."
