See which interview techniques work, and which ones fail, in these Wall Street interview videos.
I think this is an excellent resource for all students who are trying to land jobs on the street, but particularly for those seeking SA positions or those who are looking to break into an FT role who did not do a summer in banking/trading. The "personal pitch" or "telling your story" question is the most important question in an interview and is really what will set the tone and leave an impression with the interviewer.
