Interview with a distressed securities/event-driven HF tips

Hey!

Got an interview with a distressed securities/event-driven HF at the end of the month.

Looking for tips for the interview considering the HF strategy. Not really sure what specific questions they might ask (mostly technical).

Thank you!
