Discovering Corporate Housing: Manilow Suites
I came to Manilow Suites via DePaul University’s online job board. I was thrilled by the prospect of working in the hospitality industry, a subject I was minoring in at DePaul. When I was called in for the interview, I didn’t know what to think when I was shown upstairs to an apartment. I walked in to find another intern had already been hired, my chances looked bleak. I was so thrilled when I got the call saying I was hired that I ran in my then boss’s office screaming that I had a new job and would be leaving.
Knowing nothing about corporate housing, except what I found on the internet, I was shocked to learn that Manilow Suites worked with the same relocation companies as my father. Having worked in a small business all of my life, I was not overwhelmed by the fast paced environment of a small business. My first day in the office, I was immediately thrown into the mix and began managing all of the social media, meeting with the CEO and training with a consultant. Two years later, I am still building my role at Manilow Suites with fun and exciting projects.
