Job hunting? As a prospective employee hoping to land a job the
focus tends to be on highlighting your qualifications and on acing interviews. Don’t
forget, in this process the employer isn’t the only one doing the scouting. You too are in the position to seek a
workplace that meets your qualifications!
As The Big Game approaches, let’s think about it using a
sports analogy. As a free agent, is this employer the team you want to commit
to?
About 8 months ago I ended my free agency and committed to joining the Camden Team after being brought on as a Leasing Consultant at Camden Doral. I choose to work at Camden because it is,
undeniably, the MVP. Most Valuable Property trust that is!
What makes Camden MVP? I am glad you asked!
Based On Values:
As I prepared to interview for the open Leasing Consultant position in
Camden Doral I delved into Camden’s Website to learn more about the company. I
was immediately drawn to the fact that Camden’s culture is based on a set of 9
Values. In my interviews it became evident that these values are the
foundation of the company.
"People Driven" is one Camden’s Values. When I learned that
the property manager and district manager who interviewed me each had been
with Camden over 10 years I instantly knew this was an employer that values its
employees.
From my first day on the job I’ve witnessed and experienced
the numerous forms of recognition, support and opportunities Camden provides to
it’s people. It’s no wonder people join, and stay with, Camden.
Philanthropic
I am proud to work for a company that is invested in giving
back. Camden Cares is the company's initiative encompassing all of the charitable events and projects Camden
participates in. I experienced my first Camden Cares event last October during which the South Florida Camden Properties partnered with Rebuilding Together to
repair and revitalize a retired U.S Veteran’s home. Working alongside fellow
Camden employees in such rewarding efforts was incredibly fulfilling. Read more about my experience and the event in
my blog post here.
Camden Cares events, projects and drives occur throughout each of the cities Camden serves. Who
wouldn’t be proud to be a part of a company that gives backs to it communities?

Can’t Deny the Stats
Let’s get back to that sports analogy for a minute. When
analyzing the value of Camden, we can’t ignore the numbers!
In 2015 Camden was recognized, as number 10, on Fortune’s100 Best Companies to Work For® list. This is the 8th year that
Camden has been included on the list!
Camden also landed on a few other Fortune®/ Great Place to Work® lists
including: 100 Best Workplaces for Women as well as the inaugural 100 Best Workplaces for Millennials and 50 Best
Workplaces for Camaraderie. Camden also notably landed in the #1 spot on the 50 Best
Workplaces for Diversity!

The Bottom Line
I love my job! Every
day I wake up and look forward to going to work. I am incredibly grateful to
work for a company where I am valued and my contributions are recognized and
celebrated. Lastly, I am honored to be a
part of a Company that is based on strong values and has a philanthropic spirit.
There you have it! A quick snapshot highlighting why I see Camden as the real MVP. Of course, as a New England Patriots fan, I know an MVP when I see one!
