Hel experienced hire interview
Hey Guys! So i have been desperately looking for FT interviews along w/ the thousand others. I'm a new graduate have background experience of 2 summer interns - middle market long story somehow i landed an experienced hire interview through networking but the problem is i don't have the modeling skills that are required. How else can i shine in this interview to land the offer?
If they're interviewing you, then they've seen your resume and they should have realized that you don't have much modeling experience. If that bothered them, you wouldn't have gotten an interview.
Rather than focus on what you don't have really work to nail what you do. Make sure you've got the technicals (finance/accounting knowledge) locked down and good to go (3 statements, DCF, M&A reasoning, etc). Have your answers to all of the fit and trap questions (walk me through your resume, why banking, brain teasers, etc) in mind (generally speaking, not word for word). The most important things will be maintaining your calm and your confidence. They know what you don't have and they know what you have, so make sure to tear up the interview in terms of your haves. The more you worry and focus on modeling, the worse you will perform. I highly doubt they are going to ask you to tear into an LBO model, but even if they do, just level with them - you know the technicals behind it, but haven't seen the modeling in a while, so you will definitely be rusty. Confidence and keeping your cool are key - if you weren't capable, you wouldn't be getting an interview. Check this out for a few more tips on the interview:

Good luck.
