Job Search

             My job search that I had to do was an Appraiser. You may ask what an appraiser actually does; well they estimate the value of items such as buildings, art, antiques, and much more. Appraisers also specialize in different types if items; some specialize in real property appraisal, which is buildings and property. Others specialize in personal property, which includes art, antiques, jewelry, machinery, and many other items. Some appraisers estimate how much businesses are worth.

Their work environments vary. Claims adjusters and examiners spend time in offices reviewing documents and conducting research, in addition to working outside when examining damaged property. Appraisers and investigators work outside more often, inspecting damaged buildings and automobiles and conducting surveillance. Most claims adjusters, appraisers, examiners, and investigators work full time. However, their work schedules vary.

You do need an education to be appraisers. In order to be an appraiser you have to meet the minimum requirements set the Appraisal Qualifications Board (AQB) in the fallowing three areas: Education, Experience, and State licensing or certification exam.

Your salary will vary; this will depend on what kind of appraising that you are going into. Top Retail Real Estate Executive will make the most and the one who makes the least is Real Estate Clerk. But everything will depend on what you want to appraise.

Overall job opportunities are expected to be highly competitive. Employment opportunities should be best in areas with active real estate markets. Although opportunities for established certified appraisers are expected to be available in these areas, the cyclical nature of the real estate market will directly affect the number of jobs for appraisers, especially those who appraise residential properties. In times of recession, fewer people buy or sell real estate, decreasing the demand for appraisers. As a result, job opportunities should be best for appraisers who are able to switch specialties and appraise different types of properties.

I really dont think that i would like being a appraiser, becasue I dont like having to deal with money and make the final decision of the items that you are going to be appraised. For some people it is a good job, but i dont think that it would be for me.
