Apollo REPE Interview

Gene Parmesan

Congrats on the interview, great place to work. General rule of thumb is be enthusiastic, understand their past deals (like buying Citi Property), and have some insightful questions in your back pocket.

There are a few old threads that have touched on this

Thanks a ton for the help! Any other advice? Sincerely appreciate it.

My background is RE IB analyst at GS/MS/JPM

Have any insights to share from your interview?

Did Apollo schedule the interview 3 months in advance and you still need advice?! How'd the interview go?

My general rules for interviewing...

1. Know each and every person that you'll come into contact with during the interview. Make sure you know... -Age -Work Experience (how long in the business, previous firms, current roles)

- UG/MBA - Hometown

This brings up a ton of subtle talking points and/or allows you to get a gauge on a person's personality.

1. Know your Resume cold. This is Cliche. Still, you should have some sort of story for every bullet point on your resume. I.e. At our firm, we had XYZ problem and nobody wanted to take it on. I took it on and was able to save $XXX dollars while saving senior management a lot of money.

I also like to tie non-work related stories into my conversation with the interviewer. This removes some of the rigidness from the interview.

1. Show that you know their company and the nature of the position well. Then ask yourself, "Why is the interviewer creating this position?"

Most of the time, the position is being created so that you can either 1. take the workload off of more senior people or 2. make more money for the firm. Typically, its a combination of both.

Overall objective - come off as personable while showing that you understand the role.
