P3.instances[0].transcript.parse_transcript_data({"transcript":"What I like about my job is flexibility of being able to work autonomously for myself, and the range of properties and some of the different asset classes I get to see. What I dislike about my job is the fact that it is a job. I'd rather be doing more fun, lifestyle based things. But everyone can only dream. Key decisions-- I studied a business degree, and I decided I didn't want to do that. Once I finish studying, I had no choice but to make a quick decision where I wanted to go, and property seemed like something that was interesting. So after studying that, that's how I came to be where I am. It's difficult for graduates to get a job in my industry straight out of university unless you've done some sort of work experience or internship with a company. Larger companies, like CBRA and Jones Lang LaSalle are sort of tough to get into with your experience. Once you have got that experience behind you though, they're easier to get jobs with. My work life balance is pretty good really. Because I work autonomously, I'm quite flexible with the hours that I do. So if I want to start late and finish late, I can do that, go to the beach in the morning. At the same time, if I want to start super early and finish super early, I can have a bit more time in the afternoons or the evenings. It's still a five day-a-week job. It is fairly flexible, though.
