I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CBRE (Bloomington, MN) in Apr 2012
Interview
Once my resume had been submitted and was reviewed I was contacted to arrange a phone interview. The interview over the phone was typical, the HR representative asked me about accounting concepts and other basic questions. Not really sure why that was necessary being as the job was a data entry position. After advancing past the phone interview the next phase was an interview at the Bloomington office (Two Market Point). The interviewers (two of them) were friendly, although I learned after beginning work I would not be working with them--I was assigned to a different team.
After the 1 on 1 interview I was brought to a testing room for an assessment of my accounting knowledge. This test was 45-60 minutes long.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I had applied for the entry level "accounting coordinator" so the questions were more geared toward how you interact with others and your behaviors. The three questions that got me thinking the most were:
1) describe a time where you went above and beyond to please a customer, complete a project, etc...
2) describe a time when an unexpected issue arises and changes your schedule dramatically, also how did you react?
3) How do you building rapport with co-workers and clients?
If you can answer those three questions you are golden.
There was a combination of behavioural questions and technical questions. Most of the questions were fairly straightforward, and they managed to create a welcoming and friendly environment for the interview.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CBRE (Columbus, OH) in Sep 2020
Interview
Good, explained the position well. Interview directly with manager of my team, though people are often moved around a lot based on clients. Company changed very quickly after I was hired.
