Pros and Cons about being a real estate agent?
Sorry but I'm going to have to rain on your parade. If you're a pessimist and don't believe in happiness, then you genuinely do NOT belong in the real estate industry. The entire point of people buying a home is to make money, start a family, start a life as an owner, etc. The entire point of people selling a home is to make money, end partnerships/relationships, move to a new place, start a new part of their lives etc. If you can't empathize or relate to their happiness and optimism especially when they buy a home, you do not belong in the industry. The last thing any buyer needs is a suzy-downer. Also, it really isn't just about doing research and being interested in homes. Most of it is about your personality and negotiating skills. Even if you were great at number crunching and helping them find their dream home, if you're incapable of negotiating for your client, you are no good to them or to yourself in this industry. Real estate is a tough business to be in. 50% of new agents quit after a year, and 50% of what's left of them quit after 3 years. Also, many new agents struggle to make $10,000 their first year unless they get lucky or they're well connected (circle of influence). If you're willing to work your butt off doing open houses for more successful agents with zero financial reward directly, then you might have a chance. If you believe in having listings and clients handed to you and that you can lay back and enjoy making only 32K, it's not how it works. 2-3 of the people I took the course with quit after 6 months! Others moved on to discount brokers and work with people who pay only $3000 on what should be a $15,000 sale, just to scrape by. If you're willing to put in a few years (people say it takes about 3-5 years to get established) before seeing a decent amount of money, then by all means join the party! Expect to spend more in advertising and expenses your first few years than actually turning a profit - it's the price of doing business. Even though I'm making it sound really cutthroat (which it is), it really is also an amazing industry if you can hang in there. It's great being your own boss and it's thrilling negotiating on behalf of your clients. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing the joy in your client's face when you give them the good news (of course there's the rewarding part of being paid...let's not lie!).

Can I still become a police officer despite some undetected crimes?
Hello, I am 28 Years old. I have a B.A. in criminal justice and I am interested in becoming a police officer. I have passed the written/pyhsical/oral board and am now moving on to the polygraph with one department. This will be my first polygraph. I intend to be completely truthful and upfront at my polygraph exam. I have made some mistakes and I want to know if they are large enough or recent enough to disrupt my dream of becoming a police officer. The "mistakes" are all undetected crimes. The only detected crimes I have commited were traffic offences ( one speeding ticket and one failure to reduce speed and avoid an accident...both took place when I was around 20 years old.) The Undetected crimes are as follow in Chronological order I may have downloaded some MP3s Illegally when I was 16 or 17 years old. Since then I have paid for all of my music. ( I know...no big deal but I just want to be thorough. When I was 22 years old: I drove my car once when I was likely over the legal alcohol limit. I provided alcohol to my friends that were 19 and 20 years old. I threw 2 eggs at someones house once. One of the first times I had ever become intoxicated with my friends, I slashed a tire, I bent a street sign and helped my friends steal a flag from a building. I tresspassed once into an abondoned water park...just to explore. I have smoked marijuana about 10 times during my life. The last time being August of 2009 ( over 4 years ago). Since August 2009, I have been a model citizen and I very deeply regret the vandalism I caused. I rarely drink alcohol anymore. For the record, I never drank alcohol until I turned 22. Looking at all of this together I feel like I stand no chance at becoming a police officer anymore. I just want to know what your opinions are on whether or not I should continue in my persuit of a career in law enforcement. Hoping for answer from current or former law enforcement officers. Thanks
What is the best way to list salary requirements on your resume when submitting your resume for a job opening?
You would not put this on your resume niether your cover letter. It would be best to write a septate sheet with something like this on it: "Regarding your request for salary requirements, I am more interested in the opportunities for growth and professional development than a starting salary." "My salary requirements would depend on the total compensation package including benefits and the opportunity to earn performance-based incentives. I am confident we can arrive at a mutually beneficial agreement during our interview." "I applied for this position because I am very interested in the job and your company. I know I can make an immediate impact once on the job, but I'd like to table salary discussions until we are both sure I'm right for the job." "My current compensation package is well within the range for this position and location. I am confident your offer will be competitive." "My research indicates that a position such as the one described in your advertisement typically pays $____ to $____. I would be willing to consider a salary within that range, depending on the responsibilities and expectations of the position." The point is to shift the focus from money to the job itself. If you are working at a job in which you are happy and productive, the rewards will come. If you are miserable working for an organization which demands as much work as possible for as little money as possible, the job won't last and the money won't matter.
