The interview process involved a few diverse components that assessed the candidate's aptitude for the position. The first step was a video interview in which the applicant was given a question and a bit of time to prepare before recording his or her response. Admittedly, this was a bit awkward, but the questions were straightforward and easy to answer, provided you know your resume well. Next, there was a timed online test with mathematical, grammar, and other questions just to test your critical thinking skills. Following this, applicants were required to take a survey using a Likert scale rating system, including questions about perceptions of how a workplace should function, interactions with coworkers, personality and work ethic, and the like. Lastly, applicants participate in a phone interview and in person interview, which were similar to any generic job interview that one can find at other companies.

I would strongly caution anyone considering this role at Bozzuto. In my experience, there was virtually no work-life balance, and burnout set in quickly due to unrealistic expectations and constantly shifting priorities. The interview process involved three rounds—a phone screening with a recruiter, an in-person interview with the property manager, and a final interview with the general manager and regional leadership—yet the reality of the role felt very different from what was presented. The position ended up feeling like multiple full-time jobs combined: managing social media, handling leasing responsibilities, and conducting nonstop tours from 9am–4pm, often with little training or support. The company did not feel family-oriented, and consistent weekend work made it difficult to maintain any personal or family time. Management frequently came across as disorganized and unprepared, offering limited guidance to staff and little meaningful support to residents. Being placed at a takeover property added another layer of stress, with a tense and challenging environment that made daily responsibilities even more difficult to navigate. Overall, this did not feel like a supportive or sustainable workplace.
