“Day in a life of Roman”

 

Opportunity arrived in my mail. What was i supposed to do, so I took it.

All of this started in July. Being a young student with ambitions and a need to keep the mind occupied, Marbella University has offered a possibility to work for Asset Folio, young star in real-estate business, as an intern. 

With an open mind, on the 8th of July I have taken my first step into the real world. It was overwhelming, gasping for air at moments, fear of being wrong, saying something that should never be said. 

I was wrong. All the unnecessary discomfort could have been avoided from the start. Asset Folio turned out to be a well balanced, unique community consistent from large verity of nationalities, backgrounds and age. Having such individuals working by your side made the transition process from being a student who never worked before to a fully integrated individual within a company a very smooth and pleasant process.

When first hearing of Marbella, not much came to mind. At least that was the case scattered with opportunities from all directions, being either education for your children or your self, employment that opens doors to future and business possibilities to move mountains.

Some of the daily tasks that landed on my desk were very varied and I did not know what to expect be it re-annalysing excell spread sheets for the ever busy sales team or calling google to change our location on their business map.

 

Though out my summer time has passed quickly and now nearing the end of a great opporutnity will certainly give me some food for thought and some lasting friends.

A few of the experience that will most likely stay with me are firstly the task I was given to coordinate all the physical information documents relating to the vendors property given to Asset Folio at the point of signing an agreement/contract and cross check making sure all the information was correct and stored on our physical and digital databases.

The n ext given my love for photgraphy really made my day, Gavin, an associate of Asset Folio, was about to go out for a viewing of Vistas De Aloha to check the property, he told me to grab my camera and head-out with him.

There we met a representative from the developers who showed us around, she was very professional and at the same time charming a great experience and showed me that this industry as an agent is far more than sitting on the phone line, making sales. It’s the connection you build with others and the proceess of gathering the correct information, in this case the photograhy clenched the deal.

Finally I have been able to put to good use my love of IT hence my nick name IT assistant. From a young age, my interest in electronics was a bit more than others. Apparently feeling comfortable in surrounding of electronics is a useful skill set. I would never have guessed how important my knowledege in this sector would be and in this fast moving market time is key and infomation is even more...

Thank you guys and I expect a job offer in 2016.
