I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CBRE (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2013
Interview
The process was a standard one, no surprises, had a screening interview by phone and then an in-person interview. Wish they would have asked more about my non-Real Estate experiences because there is a lot I bring to the table beyond what I've actually done in the industry. Other than that, no complaints, they had a very traditional approach, trying to get as much info as possible in a short interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me how to determine the Net Operating Income of a property.
Quick and professional. They do ask questions that will require specific skills to answer. They will also require answers around challenging situations where you’ll have to ensure you know the job.

Question 1
Can you walk us through the process with major incident reports should one be required for an asset you manage.
Behavioural phone interview. Asked me questions about what I do and why would I be a good fit for the role and why CBRE. This is the first stage of interview to get invited to the assessment centre.
It was an extremely long process over 3 months. I was very disappointed how long it took and the back and fourth honestly it was a waste of time. They acted like I got the position but at the end the client backed out. They did nothing else to search for another job even though it took so long and they had me on stand by the entire time
