Interview in Fixed Income Investment/Credit Research tips

I posted the below post in the Career help section but was not getting any responses so I figured I try here.

I have a BS in Accounting & Finance from Rutgers University as well as my CPA. I am also a level 2 CFA candidate.

Currently I work in Financial Reporting for our Fixed Income Business - Alternative Products (Hedge Funds & CLOs).

I have an interview on 9/12/16 in Fixed Income Credit Research with my current company (Insurance Company/Asset Manager). I will be meeting with the Head of High Yield Credit Research, Head of US Bank Loan Credit Research & Head of IG Corporate Bond Research.

This is for an entry level position. Requirements were a degree and completion of CFA Level 1.

Any tips?

I plan on reviewing my CFA Level 1 Fixed Income material as well as reviewing all all financial statements flow and how it impacts debt holders as opposed to equity holders.
