Interview with brokerage team on Monday for support position; no commercial real estate experience
Hope a post like this is allowed. 

As far as I know, there are two other candidates for the position (Client Services Specialist). While the company asks for the CSS to have a real estate license, it's not a non-starter and very little experience is required. 

What are some things I should brush up on this weekend to make me a little more competitive? I was an urban studies major with significant business background. 
[{"id": "dz4teqy", "text": "Just read up on commercial real estate in your area. Also understand what CCIM and SIOR is. I\u2019d just say have general real estate knowledge, listen to some podcasts. Honestly getting a job in real estate is more about selling yourself then what you know on paper. I just graduated with a degree in Finance and I\u2019m trying to get a job with a commercial real estate investment company or brokerage. I\u2019ve gotten 5 job offers in the last month. Two of them I got just by going out to lunch and they liked me. Just be honest and relatable. ", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "dz4zcwk", "text": "What is the job description?

Having Indesign experience, photoshop, powerpoint ect would be more helpful than knowing anything about real estate. It would not hurt, but that is not the main focus of that job IF the company is like 90% of the companies I have ever seen. \n\nThey will probably hire you, since everyone is hiring like crazy now. I would research the company, know who the significant players are and who their competitors are. \n\nAnd if you don't get that job, well, you know who to apply to next.
