Cindy and Michelle work for a property management client on the Gold Coast in Australia. In this short interview, they share how long it took them to be competent in their roles.
Cindy – I was in training for two weeks and I worked independently after that. So after two weeks I feel confident and that I can be as efficient and as effective as any property manager can be. So, two weeks.
David – Now, how long have you been working with your client?
Cindy – For almost a year now.
David – Okay and how would you feel that you are supporting the current property manager team in Australia. So you’re 110% independent?
Cindy – Yes.
David – So how competent would you say you are in your role now?
Michelle – I can say that I’m very much competent.
David – Yes, a year and a half?
Michelle – Yes.
David – How long did it take for you to get started to be able to perform independently?
Michelle – My training actually took almost two weeks. Within a month I think I’m already familiar with my tasks and I have also done the tasks correctly within a month. So up until now I don’t think I’ve had any major issues with my tasks.
David – Okay, so about a month to work totally independently.
Michelle – Yes.
