Asset Management Mock Interview

“John was so personable and willing to help me prep for my opportunistic investing interview! I felt completely comfortable asking questions and he also asked me great interview questions to help me think about my responses to the interview I was prepping for. He also responded to my initial Slack ask super quickly!”

“Was very easy and clear about scheduling. Extremely prompt in answering emails. Worked with me for a long time going through my questions and was very good about simplifying concept for me in order to help me better understand. Was very kind about going through concept slowly and in simple language and analogys. ”
