Application Question(s):

• Tell us about a job where you worked mostly independently without daily supervision. What responsibilities did you handle, how did you prioritize your work, and how did you decide what to do next when no one was directing you?
• If you arrive in the morning and have three open issues: a leaking sink, an AC that is not cooling, and a broken light fixture, how would you prioritize them and why? What additional information would you want before deciding?
• What types of maintenance issues are you comfortable handling yourself, and what types of issues would you stop and call a vendor or licensed contractor for? Please give a few examples.
• What basic hand and power tools do you personally own and regularly use for maintenance work? Please list the main ones you would typically bring to a job.
• This position requires consistent Monday–Friday availability, approximately 9 AM–1 PM. Planned time off should generally be requested at least two weeks in advance. Are you comfortable with that expectation?
• This position requires you to work independently most days, with management typically checking in about once per week. You will be expected to follow work orders and preventive-maintenance lists, complete a brief daily log of work completed, and communicate any issues that need attention. Are you comfortable working this way? Please describe a job where you worked under a similar system.
