How to become マンション管理員

The typical path in Japan is shown by the education, training and experience of current workers above and in the Japanese guidance below. A detailed English guide for this occupation is being prepared.

Guidance from job tag (Japanese)
入職にあたって、必要な資格や免許はなく、学歴や経験も不問であるが、新卒採用はほぼ無く、定年退職者等が再就職先として選択するケースが大半である。同職業は求人の年齢設定が60歳代のものが多く、また実際の勤務は70歳代になっても可能であることが一般的である。
 採用は、各管理会社が新規に管理マンションを受託したとき、あるいは担当者が退職したときなどに行われる。新聞や雑誌、インターネットなどの求人広告やハローワークへの求人申込みが多いが、管理会社が自社のホームページで募集するケースも増えている。採用後は、各社独自の研修を受けた後、現場実習を経て勤務に就くことになるが、配属後も定期的な研修を義務づけ、スキル向上をセールスポイントとする会社もある。
 コミュニケーション能力、ホスピタリティの精神、コンプライアンス意識といった社会人としての豊富な人生経験や対人対応力が重要であり、同時に、健康でフットワーク良く動けることが求められる。
