ZipRealty Has No VP of Training. Quick!


With the housing market softening, companies like ZipRealty that offer some hope to squeeze more dollars out of house sales could be the ticket.

Don't bother reading the job req - its heavy on blah, blah, blah. The key points are that you would work in Emeryville, CA and make $95K to $110K. ZipRealty needs to bring on a lot of locals to rep ZipRealty property sales. You would need to explain to them how to do their jobs.
