Two Job Interviews for analyst and acquisitions role, seeking tips
Hey guys, I graduated from a state school with a low GPA. I have not had much success applying for jobs but it was reaching out that I got these interviews. I can build a basic multi family model in excel but tbh I am pretty crappy in ARGUS. What kind of questions would they ask me? What would the case studies look like? Will I have access to excel? I see my self being a bit nervous but I just want to be prepared as possible. CRE is my dream job. Another thing I lack is I have no direct internships in CRE, just experience at a financial planning firm. Any suggestions are appreciated. I was also thinking about trying to model something in excel off loopnet and bring it in for them.

If it's apartments you probably won't use Argus very much if at all. And which Argus program are you familiar with? DCF is being phased out and Argus Enterprise is the future, although a lot of people aren't too familiar with it yet. \n\nBoth of these are good to mention in the interview though, shows that you have some knowledge of CRE already.
