Receiving an award is one of the most sought-after career goals for property management team members and agencies. Making the finalist list could be easier than you think. Here are 15 top tips on how you can stand out and win an award:
1. Simply enter the awards and give it a go.
2. Prepare yourself by reading the questions and work towards fulfilling and achieving the criteria in advance.
3. Be focused and work hard.
4. Set goals and accomplish them.
5. Find a mentor who can assist you. Talk to your co-workers or superiors for ideas. There is power in collective thinking.
6. Read the submission instructions and questions carefully.
7. Google or attend training to gather ideas.
8. Make sure you stick to the word limit.
9. Focus on your key points and don’t get off track.
10. Start with a short summary introduction and then outline in dot points (if applicable) how you have fulfilled the requirements, your achievements and why you are different. You need to make it simple and easy for the judges to read.
11. Use a coloured pen on your draft copy to highlight how many key points you have outlined if a question is not a dot point format. Often points can be allocated to how many different concepts, actions, processes or ideas are shared.
12. Evidence is the key to substantiate your submission. Photos, document examples, reports, testimonials, surveys, editorials, etc. How can you prove that you have fulfilled the criteria?
13. Check and triple check your submission to ensure that it makes sense and there are no grammatical errors. Ask a third-party person to read it as well.
14. Visualise yourself receiving the award
15. Never give up. Not everyone wins an award the first time. An award-winning finalist is a grand title that will give value-added credibility to the recipient as well as open-up many doors of opportunity. Just do it.
