Fidelity Fixed Income Research Associate FT 2021 - Advice, Tips, etc.

So applications for this program open up towards the end of this month and the application window will last for about a month. I am highly interested in applying for this program at the moment, however I don’t have a background in FI (I am part of a student-run investment fund on the equity side however) and I am wondering for those out there in FI or have applied to this program in the past what you would suggest to learn more about fixed income, what the interview process looks like typically (could be at Fidelity or exp from another buy-side firm is also helpful), and what would exit opps look like out of FI research? (just curious)
