How to prepare for RE investing roles and other CRE based rolea

posted this in RE form but putting it here incase anyone knows stuff and has advice

Hey everyone, 

Looking into real estate roles/real estate investing/CRE based roles at companies like quadreal, JLL, CBRE, Brookfield etc and am really confused on how to prepare for their interviews specifically if there are cases or technical questions because when I look online some people say there were like no technical questions others say they had a case study or technical questions. 

Also in terms of studying for technical questions I know for jobs like IB they have their BIWS guide but is there an equivalent for real estate investing roles/CRE where there is a guide that would pretty much contain everything I need to know for the interviews? Many people get BIWS and the Red Book etc for free so curious what I would need for resources to prepare for interviews and if the stuff is free. 

Anything about your personal experience with similar companies, resources, or how RE interviews and process works would be greatly appreciated!

Also if it helps I am primarily looking into roles in Canada and UK area
