J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Hines (Menlo Park, CA) en sept. 2019
Entretien
I had an initial interview regarding my previous experience with a recruiter, a secondary interview going over the role, and how my previous experience prepared me for the job with the prospective team.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Strengths and Weaknesses, how I prioritize my work, etc.
Fairly informal process with a focus on my history and knowledge of real estate and fit with firm culture. Enjoyable but not overly difficult if you're conversant in real estate.

Question 1
Your only history in real estate is academic (i.e., business school). Why should we choose you over someone with experience?
J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Hines
Entretien
I was selected to interview via the on-campus recruiting process. Two elderly Hines employees interviewed me at the Office of Career Services' facility in Cambridge. Both interviewers requested a walk through my resume. One of the interviewers seemed polite and cordial.
The other interviewer was decidedly gruff, demanding to know how I even could be considered a candidate since I had already graduated and received a Masters. I reminded him that the position was open to recent alumni. I told him that my recent role was of a subject matter expert to the US Army. The interviewer's eyes widened as he screamed back, "How are you are a subject matter expert in anything?!" and began to hyperventilate. Astonished, I stated "that was the role defined by my contract." A few weeks later, one of Hines' HR representatives contacted me to let me know that the interviewers "had some difficult decisions to make."
