[{"id": "i2qctmb", "text": "Try demonstrate an interest in multi family and demonstrate your knowledge within that area and within your local market. For example, if you can find a recent transaction that you like you can mention why you like it. For example, 100 units sold for x amount and this was a great deal because of the asset management potential and future development optionality\n\nAlso emphasise the fact that you\u2019re hungry to learn. As a grad they won\u2019t expect you to know everything, but they will expect you to want to learn\n\nFind items on the job description that you have transferable skills in. For example, your pro forma work may help you underwrite deals, so you can mention you have a transferable skill here\n\nI think if you can demonstrate a passion and willingness to learn that will be best", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "i2qfuru", "text": "Currently in your exact position. Feel free to ask any specific questions.\n\nDon\u2019t know about other offices, but culture and \u201cfit\u201d are huge. You\u2019ll have to demonstrate you have a knowledge of CRE, but sounds like you have that to a degree (we don\u2019t expect people to be experts coming in).\n\nTalk to the market you are in and why you want to stay there and why MF interest you early. JLL like to think everyone they hire will become a broker, so it\u2019s a good idea to make them think that\u2019s your path even if it isn\u2019t. \n\nKnow the difference between Debt/Equity and ISA and be able to speak on which you prefer and why. Some markets combine these, but mine did not.", "replies": [{"id": "i2qnk6r", "text": "Hey, any advise on what to do to kind of land an interview for the position? I\u2019m a recent graduate currently in a staff accountant role but trying to make the jump to CRE. Just having trouble landing an interview with firms. I don\u2019t have any CRE internships unfortunately. I did however take a modeling course and learn a little.", "replies": [{"id": "i2qo7tc", "text": "I had zero experience in CRE. My biggest recommendation would be to reach out and network. Brokerage shops, Dev, Acquisitions, Financing, etc. Talk with people and learn from them and build a network, eventually you\u2019ll have something pop up from one of the shops and it\u2019s easier to go to a prior contact to ask about it then and doesn\u2019t seem like you are asking them for a job.", "replies": [], "depth": 3}], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}]
