Experience
Char Winckowski is a licensed Realtor in Ohio and Michigan. She previously worked as an employee assistance counselor and as a program/recreational therapist at a local hospital.

Career goals
Regarding her career goals, Char is extremely flexible. Her goal is any position where she can help people, use her experience and master's degree in education -- and still pay her bills.

Obstacles
Char's career goal has always been to help people and, in recent years, she was helping buyers find their dream homes. With home sales down in her area of northwest Ohio, she misses being compensated for her hard work and is finding her lifestyle adversely affected by the decrease in income.

Though she continues to pursue real estate sales, Char has expanded her job search to other industries.

Some of the industries she's considering include health care, senior living, sales, the gaming industry and education.
