LinkedIn study Jobs on the Rise in 2021<\/em><\/a> points to growing job opportunities across Australia\u2019s real estate sector, due to low interest rates and more Australians working remotely.\u00a0While top growth locations are listed as Perth, Sydney and Melbourne, the report also notes strong regional growth as workers increasingly move out of the big cities and into the regions.<\/p>\n According to Justine Buhrmann<\/a>, Director of Gough Recruitment Victoria, now is an amazing time to enter the industry and make your mark.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is unprecedented demand for staff at the moment, across the country, as the skills shortage kicks in.

Then you can get a feel for which specialty you prefer or move to a more senior admin role. Otherwise, you can enter a junior sales or property role directly \u2013 as leasing consultant or assistant property manager or sales assistant as a way to become a full sales consultant.\u201d<\/p>\n As Justine explains, your attitude and approach to work will definitely help grow your career faster.
