After completing a Management Studies degree at Nottingham University I decided to pursue a career in property so completed a Masters in Real Estate at Reading University. I knew that I wanted to work for a large global company with a broad range of opportunities so CBRE seemed the perfect choice.
Before joining the graduate programme in April this year I completed a 3 month internship in the Property & Asset Management department. I am now based in the Investment Valuation department for my first graduate rotation.
At CBRE from day one I was given a great degree of responsibility. I value my own patch of properties in the Thames Valley region and work alongside a Director managing the portfolio valuation of four leading funds. Having exposure to some of the biggest and best clients on a monthly basis is invaluable.
The work life balance at CBRE is unbeatable. We work hard but there are always numerous social opportunities to get involved in with people from all departments, giving you a really good opportunity to get to know people from across the whole company.
I would advise new graduates to network as much as possible with people from various service lines. CBRE has a vast pool of knowledge and cross selling is a major focus so starting to build up your network from the word go is really important.
