Thousands of families shift into rental housing

As we all know, we are experiencing a very challenging economy.  With 3.6 million lost jobs during the last 13 months and continued negative job growth in nearly all career fields, its becoming more and more difficult to land a job much less a career.  

The economy will get better but there are a lot of people taking whatever job they can to survive.  The single family housing industry is being crushed, the banking industry is near obliterated and the auto industry has imploded.  No career is safe but there is at least one industry that (given the right company) is actually growing vibrantly – “The Apartment Jobs Industry” The result of foreclosure and the credit crunch is shifting thousands upon thousands of families into rental housing. 

While some Apartment companies are downsizing to emulate the economic conditions Riverstone Residential is actually growing. This company is aggressively acquiring other apartment companies nationwide and has many opportunities for  leasing, maintenance, community managers, etc…They are the second largest Apartment Management Company in the US currently with over 180,000 units in 800 communities nationwide. They currently employ more than 5,400 people in 40 different states across the US.    A college degree is usually not required for employment for most positions, but the pay will generally be as high if not higher than most entry level careers 1st year.

There are many positions within the industry; apartment community managers, assistant managers, leasing consultants, auditors, accountants, recruiters, assistants, housekeeping, etc.  The position of “Apartment Leasing Consultant” is probably the most abundant and you will generally get a salary along with commissions for every apartment you lease.  

Whether you are looking for a change of scenery or want to stay put, Riverstone Residential most likely has the location of choice and career waiting for talented hungry career oriented individuals.
