Fidelity equity trading interview

Hey guys, I got an interview with Fidelity for "equity trading business associate." I was wondering if anyone knew how to prepare for these interviews and what to expect. Also...perhaps what exactly the job is. I assume it is mostly just executing trades for higher ups?

The candidate will have and have a genuine interest in the financial markets will help in problem resolution, idea generation, technology solutions, workflow management and relationship building.

for background... I have little business background. I could tell you what a P/E ratio is and maybe a tiny bit about it but beyond that i haven't taken a course in stocks/bonds or anything.
