Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Cushman & Wakefield to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Cushman & Wakefield
Be yourself in assessment centres and interviews as they are looking for how you would fit in to the firm rather than previous knowledge about real estate. There is a lot of emphasis on your personality as the industry is largely based on networking. Make sure your CV is up to date with no errors etc.
