Property

If you thrive on variety and like meeting people, working in the property sector could be a good choice for you – and you don’t necessarily need a degree in property.

There is a range of roles and areas in which you can specialise. The opportunities for advancement can be good, as is evidenced by the young profile of senior management in many Irish property companies.

Working hours can be demanding but if you don’t like being chained to a desk, this is one career where getting out and about is a requirement of the job. Travel opportunities are increasingly available as many companies are now part of a worldwide network. Some of the larger companies are affiliated with companies around the globe with thousands of employees. Choosing a firm with offices in several locations will give you the opportunity to spread your wings internationally or to choose from city life or a more rural lifestyle.

The property sector is not all about work: it is a highly sociable environment so there are plenty of opportunities for enjoying yourself, meeting friends and networking.
