Day 1 interview

Hey, I’m going into a first round interview with an IB. I have an undergrad and currently am working on an MBA. After going to the career development office, it has come to my attention that the IB I am interviewing for recruits my campus. Also I have had my resume forwarded in by someone in HR with a lot of pull. My background has been in sports marketing, and I am highly competitive. I work well with teams; I have displayed leaderships in many of my internships and work experience. I have sales experience and also forecasting experience. Am I on the right track for the second round interview as long as i'm able to communicate this information?

communicate well about why your qualities would be good for IB

persuade them about why you are the best candidate with examples

know your technicals, get a guide

know your story and resume.

If you can do all these and not offend anyone, you should get a 2nd round
