Screening Interview - Key Observations

• Knowledge Gap in BOVs and related materials: She said she supported CBRE’s brokerage activities rather than leading them. She was exposed to property marketing, market research, and transactions, but did not directly develop OMs or BOVs. She is confident she can produce them and sees it as a knowledge process.

 • Strengths & Preferences: She feels strongest in business development, preparing client information, analysis and comparisons, and client communication. 
 • Career Goals: Over the next year, she wants to deepen her commercial real estate and business development expertise, improve her skills in real estate documentation and presentations, work with AI-driven workflows, and strengthen her professional English. 
 • Technology & AI Usage: She uses ChatGPT and Copilot. She estimates AI is involved in about 60% of her work, noting that confidential information limits what she can use it for. 
 • Communication Competencies: She showed a client-oriented, business-minded approach to real estate and described a combined technical and commercial mindset. 
 • Tools: She reports comfort with Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Canva, Adobe, Notion, and the CRM used at Cushman & Wakefield.
