Entry-level positions (e.g., junior sales assistant) are shrinking as AI virtual assistants and automated marketing tools reduce demand for large numbers of junior staff, but those with strong communication and learning skills can still enter by passing licensing exams.
Real estate agents should proactively become AI-empowered full-service advisors: use AI to batch-generate marketing materials, predict market trends, while strengthening local expert identity (e.g., community events, industry blogs). Expand into commercial real estate, property investment consulting, or proptech entrepreneurship, combining data insights with humanized service for higher value.
