career paperReal Estate agent
As far as I can think back I always enjoyed being in an office setting. My father used to be an Insurance Salesman when I was little and whenever I had to stay at his office for one reason or another I would always pass the time away happily playing office even answering some calls for my dad. As I got older my dad used to give me tasks to do like filing or stocking the insurance applications for him. Now when I look back it doesn't seem like a very important job but I used to enjoy that I was helping my dad in his business and I used to look up to him the way he talked to his clients giving them information on different types of insurance and their different coverages, for a long time I wanted to be an insurance salesman just like my dad. Now that I'm at the age where I need to start looking and preparing for a career I the desire of being an Insurance Salesman isn't as strong as when I was little but being involved in the business field is my definite career goal. That's why I decided to do some research on the career of a Real Estate agent. Before we go into the information that I found on a Real Estate agent, its important that we first see what kind of temperament or personality that I have and what kind of jobs woul
The results of the Kiersy Character Sorter showed that I am an extrovert, that is a person that is outgoing more like a people person than an introvert. The results also showed that I'm a sensing person and a thinking person, rather that a person that goes by feelings I think things through. Finally, the result showed that I'm also a judging person, which perhaps means that I weigh things out and than make a judgment on what to do, evaluate more than a perceiving person would. The Personality Mosaic had somewhat similar results, they said that first I'm a conventional person, then a social person and then an enterprising person, in that order. The last part of the Personality Mosaic was to look at the different jobs that went along with the different personality types. Some jobs that interested me in the Conventional category were accountant, data processor, hospital administrator, insurance administrator, office manager and database manager. In the Social category were the jobs of teacher, school superintendent, insurance claims specialist and convention planner. Finally in the Enterprising category that I scored high on was banker, city manager, FBI agent, health administrator, salary and wages administrator, insurance salesperson, sales engineer and marketing specialist. As you can see there is a wide array of choices I have according to these two personality sorters, but they still showed me compatible for the career as a real estate agent. Princeton Review. (1999).

The next step in researching a career is finding out what kind of preparation is required in order to become a real estate agent. The surprising thing that I found was that not much preparation is needed to become a real estate agent, its more based on experience rather than schooling. According to the Princeton Review (1999) the only things real estate agents have in common in terms of preparation are high school diplomas and communication skills. There are a growing number of people entering the field with a college degree and some colleges even offer courses in real estate. These courses along with business courses are helpful but the real learning takes place once an agent enters the field. There are a grea
