ABOUT JESSIE

Jessie is a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Major in Marketing Management. She enjoys reading books, listening to music, travelling, and spending time at the beach. With a strong academic background and diverse work experience, she brings a combination of organisational, administrative, and client-facing skills that make her well-suited for supporting clients in the Australian real estate space.

Onboarding Training and Assessment

At Affordable Staff, we aim for each team member to possess a robust understanding of administrative tasks but also have a deep appreciation and comprehension of Australian business practices and cultural nuances, ensuring they are exceptionally well-prepared to support their clients effectively. While this training starts with real estate, the skills acquired provide a comprehensive overview of general admin competencies, ensuring that trainees are versatile and capable of supporting a wide range of administrative tasks.

Affordable Staff understands that residential tenancy agreements vary by state. Our basic training covers general principles across different locations in Australia, and we emphasise the importance of client-specific training to address unique requirements.

Jessie is equipped with specialised knowledge and skills tailored to the Australian real estate industry. Her training began with an introduction to the fundamentals of real estate in Australia, including viewing videos and reading articles to understand the market’s nuances. Practical exercises, like processing property management tasks such as invoices, lease agreements, and routine inspections, were central to the curriculum.

These exercises familiarised her with common real estate procedures and honed her data entry and organisational skills, which are crucial for maintaining accurate records and managing properties efficiently.

Affordable Staff Tools Training

Tools training is an integral part of the General Admin training program, ensuring team members gain proficiency in essential software used in day-to-day operations. She was introduced to LastPass for password management, Outlook for email and calendar organisation, TechSmith for capturing and recording, Hubstaff for time tracking, Zoom and Teams for virtual communication, OneDrive for file management, and Trello for project management.

Each session combined theoretical instruction with practical, hands-on activities, allowing her to apply her learnings immediately. She is knowledgeable in managing passwords securely, organising emails, capturing and sharing visual content, tracking productivity, conducting meetings, handling cloud storage, and managing projects effectively.

Additionally, she and all team members received an overview of property management tools like Property Tree, Property Me, Console, DocHub, FileSmart, DocuSign, Adobe Acrobat, Console Gateway, 1Form, Inspection Manager, REST Professional, Palace, Maintenance Manager, Realworks, and CoreLogic.
