Job Placements On Rise for Recent Grads

IRVINE, CA-Job opportunities within the real estate industry are on the rise for recent graduates, according to the University of California, Irvine’s Center for Real Estate. The Center, which is part of the University’s Paul Merage School of Business, cites a significant increase in job placements and inquiries for graduate students over the past two years.

“We are definitely seeing a rise in real estate job inquiries and placements in spite of the recent credit crisis,” says Tom Kozicki, executive director of MBA Career Services at the Paul Merage School of Business. This includes requests for real estate positions within large financial institutions such as Wells Fargo and Bank of America and positions with emerging, opportunistic organizations such as Archbay Capital.
