Student friendly summer job II
May 5, 2008 – 9:24 pmBy Petya Kirkova
“Summertime, and the livin’ is easy…”, or at least we wish it was summer, but with temperatures still in the 50s it doesn’t quite feel so. However, with only less than a month left until the end of the spring semester, very soon most of the students will be looking for a summer job. Instead of doing “the same job, different year” combo, you might as well follow the example of Ariel Nishli, who walked through the doors of Urban Sanctuary, looking for a job, and it appeared to be one of the most rewarding experiences he has ever had. We promised you a real story, and here it is.
Ariel Nishli is a Vanderbilt University student with BS in Human and Organizational Development (Business/Management) and BA in Communications. He was only nineteen years old when he started working for Issac Krispin, the president of Urban Sanctuary. It was not the regular summer job anybody would go for, and yet it turned out to be the one that earned him more than he ever expected. According to Ariel’s own words, “In just three months, I was able to earn over $20,000 with the knowledge and tools instilled in me! “ The amount is quite impressive, and it is nowhere near what you can earn pouring coffees. All you need to change the balance of your savings account is your real estate license, confidence, and…Urban Sanctuary.
Why us? For one, imagine you walking in with your job application in a different real estate company. So far nothing is out of the ordinary, but how would they react when you tell them that you have no experience, you need training, and on top of that you’ll be there for only three months? How many of the agents will be willing to give you the time of the day and explain how things are done? What about the president of the company? You won’t have the opportunity to talk to the boss, and we are not counting this one time that you bumped into him in the elevator.
How many times have you felt like it’s not you who earns your salary, but it’s your boss doing you a favor by giving you endless shifts and the insult of the day? If you’ve never encountered such a valuable experience, you are lucky. For those who have, they know exactly what we are talking about here. It’s New York! People are rude, nobody cares, and it’s so hard to find a work place with a positive stance. You work hard for your money, and the last thing you want is to deal with somebody’s attitude. This is why Urban Sanctuary is different. Real estate can be a mean game. Nevertheless, we know that right after your paycheck comes the atmosphere of the work place. What we offer is much more than financial opportunity. Ariel Nishli said it best himself, “Working at Urban Sanctuary however, would give me a far more valuable experience than I bargained for. Through Issac, I received an education in business that I could never get from even the best of universities…New York real estate brokers can sometimes get a bad reputation when it comes to ethics and even likeability. Issac shrugs off these clichés in the way he runs his business. Agents at Urban Sanctuary share information, work with clients in teams, and support one another. A student who wishes to learn how to do business in the real world can’t hope for a better start.”
New York is the city of plenty. Whatever you are looking for the problem is not that you can’t find it, but rather that there are so much of it that you can’t make a decision. The same goes for real estate companies. There are so many of them in the City that you definitely feel more comfortable if you have a referral. If you don’t take our word on how good we are, take Ariel’s, “Issac and his employees have a keen personal and professional understanding of people. For anyone who wishes to grow in both respects, a career at Urban Sanctuary is the opportunity of a lifetime.”

In the past six years different highly anticipated movies had their world premiers at the Tribeca Film Festival, and some of them are United 93 and Mission Impossible III. Movie goers of all ages and interests can find something to enjoy during the festival. The variety of genres runs from documentaries and feature films to animated and family-friendly films. One of the past highlights of the Family Festival was the Dream Works animated 
With the catastrophic statistics about pollution, global warming, and contaminated water and air we try to be helpful in our own way. At least I hope that most people take the time of the day to think about their human print on the environment. The responsibility of the natural heritage we are about to leave to the next generation is a heavy burden. It’s already late, and we are running out of time as the polar caps are melting and deforestation runs on full speed, but as the old cliché says, “Better late than never.” Nowadays the most common effort towards a cleaner planet is recycling.
morning, or instead of the same $10 per hour you can make as much as $10 000 over the course of the summer. Now, if you expect us to say that you can sit at home and stuff envelopes or read emails and get paid, we are certainly not on the same page. Let’s be honest, nothing of that sort will pay your bills. What are the main concerns when you, as a student, are looking for a summer job? Not much time, you only have 3 months, and not much experience in a field that can potentially pay back.
folding of clothes, seating and serving hungry customers, or making coffees all day long until your head starts spinning. Enough! Get your real estate license, it takes a week or so, it costs around $300, and we are expecting you. Just bring your best intentions, and you are welcome aboard.
