Advice for first year intern at JLL? (Junior in college)
Hello!  I am currently a rising junior and I somehow secured an internship at JLL this summer.  I have no previous experience at all with CRE and am going to be working in brokerage within the Industrial division. 

Any advice for me?

I\u2019m at a JLL competitor, and interns kind of get forgotten about in our office (and most of them seem okay with that). Hopefully, JLL has a more structured intern program. Regardless, if you want to stand out, ask people how you can help every day. Ask if you can shadow someone as they work and take notes. Read the news and maybe send out relevant articles you come across with a brief summary. \n\nGood luck!", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "ikm0cze", "text": "Hi!
