Career Resources
Assuming you do really mean research there won't be a modelling test. You will be quizzed on your motivations and the market that you will be researching.
Make sure to read JLL's public facing research reports as well as those from competitors (cbre, cushman etc) to understand market trends. Make sure you understand the "story" that they're portraying. More importantly ensure that you can regurgitate it without sounding like its a pre rehearsed script reading of their report.
Understanding basic real estate concepts such as cap rates (how they work and where they are) , investment strategies (core, core plus, value add etc) etc will also serve you well.
You won't do much if any financial modeling. This position will mainly consist of data mining, drafting research reports, and doing ad hoc projects for brokers.
I would try to leverage this position into getting a capital markets analyst position where you can cover both debt and equity. Your upward mobility in this industry will be much higher than on the research side (if you truly enjoy research, stick with that though - work/life balance should be pretty good).
I'm familiar with this type of position and can confirm that they will churn and burn you for data entry/mining/etc.
I would spend your time utilizing your network to find an "in" with a more reputable position. Internal moves however would be an option should you accept as JLL tends to hire more frequently from within.
Can also confirm. Would add the following:
Since work/life balance is pretty good, use the free time to build credentials (pursue MBA,Certificates etc.) and network (join clubs, meetings, go to networking events etc.) If you want to be a broker, MBA is marginally effective, so I hear.
