What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

The application process isn't as daunting as other firms however that doesn't mean that they aren't looking for specific criteria.
You need to be team player - after all Knight Frank are a partnership, so emphasise team sports you have been a part of, networking events you have attended etc. If you have had a Saturday job - show it in your CV, whilst you may not think this is looked at, it really is - it demonstrates time management and that you are willing to work hard from a young age. At the same time, if you haven't worked or have limited experience, don't worry - talk about your travelling, university etc. and what you have learnt along the way.

Do you have any interview tips?

Show a genuine interest in property - the interviewers can tell if you aren't telling the truth. When asked about certain properties, don't just choose the ones that Knight Frank have been involved in - go for something that has caught your attention as you will be able to speak openly and confidently about this.
Residual valuations, the current market and the economy more often than not come up as a topic questions - you need to show commercial awareness and that you know current trends in the industry, for example the effect of the extra 3% stamp duty coming into practice in April 2016.
Knight Frank look at you as a person so be yourself and relax, if you know your passion and are confident about property then show this off. Lastly, make sure you know the values of Knight Frank and who the senior partner is!
