Good morning! This question, particularly the emphasis on "that" is in regards to the daily operations/functions of student housing. Long story short:
I was seeking employment in student housing, one of the minimum requirements was that the candidate had to have at least 1 year of student housing experience. I've never worked in student housing but I do posses experience in (LIHTC, Senior & Conventional housing) I've been a Leasing Manager responsible for the Marketing, Retention, Leasing, Renewal, etc of 900+ units. I called H.R. directly and asked how strict were they about this requirement and provided them with a brief overview of my experience. I've been in this industry a little over 2 years now. She stated they would not even interview for lack of 1 year of student housing experience...
So my question is, even with the experience and skills I've gained, I am so confused to why I wouldn't even be considered for an interview at least. Is student housing that much different? Student housing still falls under conventional, correct? This is puzzling.
