I started reviewing my options for a job in the real estate industry about a year ago, six months before taking my master’s degree. At that time there were very few jobs to be found on the open market. But during the spring 2010 the situation brightened and has now improved considerably.

Every other firm in the real estate industry is now looking both for newly graduated and experienced, motivated and talented, individuals. Newsec was one of the first firms that started a major recruitment campaign when it stood clear that the market had turned. One of the job opportunities that were advertised was the role as a junior analyst in Newsec’s Advice-team.
It was obvious for me why I should apply; Newsec has a good reputation, especially among my fellow students, and the challenges the position offered were tempting. Another major reason was the position’s versatility as I now have the opportunity to work with everything from property valuation and market analysis to corporate real estate. And because Newsec’s Advice-team is a part of a larger group, I have also begun to gain an insight into other parts of the real estate sector such as transactions and asset management.

During the relatively short time I have worked at Newsec I have felt that the real estate industry, and Newsec especially, in an accelerating pace is working its way out of the severe slump that the financial crisis resulted in. I feel that Newsec with its forceful leadership, it’s highly skilled staff and its great breadth, by having Stronghold as its owner, stands on the frontlines of the development and in doing so are well positioned to take advantage of the additional need for consulting services that the improved economic situation induce. I am both pleased and proud to be a part of this.
