Appraisal Assistant

Responded to a craigslist ad for a real estate finance role. Followed up with multiple emails leading to an in-person interview. Discussed the business of commercial real estate appraisal, my applicable skills, and small talk during interview (very macro conversation). Was directed to investigate appraisal more seriously, and if still interested call to schedule a follow-up interview. My follow-up interview consisted of meeting the CRE appraisers on the team and picking their brain about their day-to-day duties, thoughts on the job (good & bad), and they long-term career arc. An offer was made at about the one-month mark from the initial application.
