Property Jobs

While some industries are preparing to slash jobs, the demand for experienced property industry staff remains high. 

Speaking in Melbourne, Buckmaster Hawkey Director, Mark Appleby said that while the overall jobs market was flat, the outlook for Melbourne real estate jobs remained strong. 

“We’re seeing continued high demand for property managers, portfolio managers and experienced administration staff”, he said. “This is in stark contrast to other professional industries, such as finance, where the need for qualified staff appears to be softening.” 

The December employment figures show manufacturing shed 44,800 jobs in the second half of 2011 while just under 30,000 jobs were cut from both the agriculture and retail sectors.
