Appraiser questions

  • Where do you work (boutique or big shop)?
  • What was your academic background before the job?
  • What did you do to get the job/what was your route?
  • What is your day-to-day like?
  • What is your pay and hours?
  • Would you recommend this job as a first job in CRE?
  • If you are no longer doing appraisals, what are you doing now?

Thanks in advance
