By: Mick, April 21st, 2008

When faced with a time crunch at work or at home, whether it’s a major project deadline or just getting some things done quickly, prioritizing your objectives is the first thing that must be accomplished.

Young Real Estate Agents Facing Tough Times, Great Rewards

By: Matt, March 19th, 2008

I read a Baltimore Sun article a few days back that noted the struggles that young people face when choosing the real estate industry as a profession. In very basic terms, the factors noted in the article are self-evident. That is, people looking to buy or sell a home or commercial property will often “discriminate” […]

Follow Up on Interviews in Style

By: Matt, October 26th, 2007

I was reading the Jibber Jobber blog today, as I often do, and Jason Alba shared some wisdom from Heather Wieshlow about following up on an interview with an article.

By: Matt, October 23rd, 2007

I’ve read a bit lately about “Generation Y” and the differences between the youngest adult generation and those preceding it.

By: Matt, October 8th, 2007

In researching the “industry” of employment and job search, I come across dozens of new websites each week.

By: Mick, October 3rd, 2007

I personally know over 10 people directly employed by either the local, state or federal government and another dozen or so that work for contractors whose sole revenue stream is government contracts.

How Well Do You Listen During Job Interviews?

By: Mick, October 1st, 2007

On Friday, I had a meeting about affiliating with a real estate brokerage that was kind of like a job interview. Well, kind of like it in that there were two of us sitting across from one another at a conference table and we were discussing me working for their company. But it wasn’t quite […]
