Advice: CBRE Second Round Interview - Research Position
I had a meeting for a first round interview for a research position, they've asked me to come back. Any advice in order to prepare, the first one was more about my resume what would this second round be like?
Any advice is appreciated.
Like a research position in a brokerage office, or like working at Econometric Advisors or ERIX?
Brokerage, what's Econometric Advisors or ERIX? A part of CBRE?
Make sure you can talk to your excel skills. You end up dealing with a lot of data in excel so stuff like indexmatch, vlookups, and pivot tables come in handy.
Secondly, talk about your writing skills. You'll probably be writing quarterly reports about each asset class.
CBRE interviews are market specific mostly, so each office will have a different structure with how they interview. I'd check out some of their research reports that they publish on their website, you should be able to get them for free i believe.
Be familiar with statistics canada (or equivalent in USA). This is the government data reporting authority that provides stats on industry and other macroeconomic facts.
Be familiar with CMHC (or equivalent in USA). this is the multifamily stats source that we used.
Definitely talk up your excel skills, most people in real estate are terrible at excel. I once received a 30 tab excel file from a Researcher at CBRE that they had spent two days copy and pasting numbers into from a separate excel file, they had never heard of linking sheets before.
Great thank you, It's for a research role not research analyst just wanted to clarify
