Hello everyone! I just wanted to start by saying I havent been here in JW as much as I have liked over the past few months because of a new opportunity that I have been taking full advantage of. Last summer I worked for a Student painting company and really enjoyed myself. I had always thought I would make a great manager and had all the abilities to run my own successful operation.
So when I moved out here to Halifax, I decided to apply. After some interviews and screening I was offered a position here in Halifax! I had some great contacts already established in the company which helped me secure the position. So I have been hard at work in the past few months marketing and securing work for the summer. So far to date, I am one of the top 10 managers in Eastern Canada (East of Manitoba, so this includes all provinces including ontario and everything east of it), and am trending towards more than 100K in sales this summer. This is a great opportunity not only to earn a substantial amount of money for school the coming year but also a fantastic additon to anyones resume.
I guess I am curious how everyone feels about student painting companies. The specific company I am working for is called Student Works Painting. I know many people have a love hate relationship with student painters meaning that they either did a great job and they were happy or they did a piss poor job and they hate them... IMO, this is all up to how efficient the manager (my position) is at hiring competent employees and ensuring that everyone upholds the high values and standards that one must set out when running thier own biz. Ones employees are in most cases only as good as their employer and in this business it is especially true. Your workers will imitate your habits, good and bad! So far I have been doing very very well and I look forward to this summer when I begin to produce some jobs!
