Is Real Estate the Perfect Industry for You? Find Out During Our Virtual Info Session With CBRE

When you think of real estate, you probably conjure up images of an agent nailing “Open House” signs around your neighborhood. However, there’s a lot more to the world of real estate than local on-the-ground workand regardless of your skill set, there’s an exciting career waiting for you in the industry.

Intrigued? Good news: We held a virtual info session to give you the lowdown on everything you ever wanted to know about starting a career in real estate.

Even better news: We’re hosted it with CBRE, one of the most respected names in the commercial real estate game.

CBRE is the world’s largest commercial real estate services firm, helping businesses upgrade, sell, and lease properties around the globe. To put it simply, these folks are the real deal, and they’re here to give you the secrets no one else will tell you (plus, did we mention they’re hiring on WayUp right this moment?).

What kinds of questions did we ask the CBRE team? Here’s a small sampling of what’s covered:

  • What does it mean to work at CBRE in real estate? What do you focus on?
  • What’s the good, bad, and ugly of the real estate industry and your job?
  • What tasks take up the bulk of your time?
  • What’s one piece of advice for a student interested in CBRE that you wish you knew prior to graduating college as well as prior to working at the company?

And for all the students out there looking at summer internship opportunities, CBRE’s team weighed in on the things we know affect your decision:

  • How many interns are on the team, and what do they work on?
  • What training can students expect when they join the CBRE team? Will students get to meet executives or work with top leaders?
  • What’s the application process like, and what students can expect?
  • Does CBRE extend full-time offers following an internship? How can students land a full-time position?

Just so you can get a head start, we’ve got a little bonus for you: CBRE has several incredible internship and entry-level job listings on WayUp right now, so take a look at the roles you’re interested in, and learn a lot more!
