Could you please give me some suggestions - Worked as project architect
I am Chinese and came to US last year. before I came to US, I have 5 years experiences in a real estate development company and worked as project architect and a manager of a 10-person team. I am very interested in RE and want to get a job in it. so I decided to finish a master degree of real estate development or MBA(specialized in real estate). I want to know: are RE jobs difficult for foreigners whose spoken english is not so good? did RE jobs require a lot of social skills? what kind of job can I take? if I want to get a job as analyst, what can I prepare my myself in this half year before I go to school?did I make a correct decision to get a degree as mentioned? Please help me. Thanks!
Unfortunately, this could be a huge obstacle across the industry in general. There are people with less education and experience than you who would be favored simply because nobody wants to have to ask you to repeat yourself, nobody wants there to be any trouble with your writing a memo, etc. etc.
With all the foreign money that is being invested in the United States, I would recommend looking for a job that requires speaking Mandarin or Cantonese.
Thanks for helps in this topic
there is an old saying in China: "people won't blame those with good manners", hahaha
Outside of language, the bigger issue I would see is your experience. Development in China isn't like what it is in the U.S. In China, developers will build multimillion dollar projects without batting an eye at the market. Hence, all those ghost cities that exist. In U.S., the criteria is way different. I know this from personal experience, we had a mid level VP who worked for a chinese developer. He had no sense of a good market, and would think any open area is a good place to develop. Examples include building apartments near railroads, oil refineries. His mentality was different and people constantly disagreed with him. His philosphy was that if you build it, it will get occupied regardless of location.
I let a kid go once (@ TEA - no more job) that sounds very similar to you. He was a financial guru, but he never improved at speaking or writing while he worked for us, even though we asked. Try to find someone that speaks English and talk with them on a regular basis, study it, watch American movies, etc. Your company is going to want someone who is able to carry the flag and represent them well. You'll be on the phone, writing emails, investment memos, meeting face to face consistently. This is why we learn to read, write, and talk before any type of real estate knowledge. It's the building blocks of everything. Your current attributes may get you an analyst job, but you'll never move up after that.
