Interview - Leasing terms and knowldege
I come from a corporate finance background, with a good grip on commercial real estate valuation.

I have an interview with a company (in an non real estate industry) that has a substantial real estate portfolio and offices worldwide, with it's own real estate department. 

I have no prior leasing experience, but understand the basics really well through my valuation experience. 

The position I am being interviewed for will have significant leasing exposure, (the company rents hundreds of offices in north america and worldwide).

I am used to looking at lease abstracts (free rent, rent steps, tenant improvements) , can calculate net effective rents, but never seen actual lease contracts, or done serious CAM recovery calculations.

Any advice on sources to strengthen my terminology and feel comfortable prior to the interview?

Thank you.

If you've got the interview they know your skill sets and your limitations, and see you as somebody who can learn the other stuff.
