Found out about the internship via my university's career center, sent in my resume and got a call back about a week later. Was required to get credit for internship because it was an unpaid position. Interview was very basic, i.e. why do you want to work here, what are your future plans, etc.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took 1 week)

The interview process was easy for an experienced sales person. It starts out with just general conversation. The key is to find something in common and just talk about it. The interview later develops in questions. They just want to make sure you will work hard, do what they say, and want to make money.

Marcus and Millichap is not for people who understand real estate, it is just for salespeople.

Interview Questions

My interview was basically just a conversation about my past and what I see myself doing. No tough questions. I did appreciate the man being honest about the first couple years as being underpayed and doing a lot of unappealing work

Interviewed Jul 2008 in Elmwood Park, NJ (took 2 days)

I found the job information on the monster.com (or something similar - cannot remember exactly at the moment) and found out who the regional manager was at the office that I was interested in working for by visiting their website directly. Then I cold called him directly & got lucky by getting directly through to him when I asked for him by his name. I told him that I was interested in working for the company & that I wanted to personally drop off my resume that day. He said he might be busy and may not be able to meet with me, but that i can give it a shot.

I lived about an hour away from the office, but I drove directly to the office that afternoon & tried to meet him with my resume... However, he was busy & was not available to see me that day, so I left my resume with the receptionist. I believe this was Thursday. Then I got a phone call personally from the regional manager the following Monday saying... "I didn't know that you lived an hour away from our office... and drove all the way down to drop off your resume. Why don't you come on by this week to meet with me in person."

After about an hour of one on one interview with him personally in the conference room & the rest was history... I got my NJ real estate license over the summer & went through their 3 month in office training followed by 5 day bootcamp training in LA and passed the test. Then my job began...

Interviewed Nov 2008 in W Los Angeles, CA (took 3 days)

First, you attend an "information session." Here, you meet the regional manager (your potential boss). He will explain to you what the job is like and try to scare you out of applying. The tatic here is to try to weed out the applicants that are weak, easily intimidated, and ill-suited for the position. Up front they will you that you will not make any money for 12-18 months and that you Must have enough money or means of support during this time (this is the truth). During the information session you will be sized-up to see if you are worthy of an interview. You must dress professsional. If you are going to the West Los Angeles office MEN MUST WEAR A TIE, NO EXCEPTIONS!

After the information session you may schedule a one on one interview with the regional manager if after learning more about the company/position you decide that you like it. The interview is simple. Be confident. Be prepared to answer questions and give detailed examples of your passed experienced. Prove that you are not easily intimidated and demonstrate a great personaly and the Regional Manager will give you a pass...

Interview Questions

Interviewed Feb 2008 in San Diego, CA (took 1 week)

It was my senior year in college and I found their ad for the internship on my school website. I sent in my resume and cover letter and they emailed me the next day for a phone interview. The interview was in the morning and I was still sleepy. Didn't hear from them after that.
