Help! my first ever interview

I am currently a junior attending semi-target school majoring in Economics, and looking for an internship for this upcoming summer.

I got an interview at Freddie Mac corporate finance intern position, however it is my very first interview. so I would like to ask you guys for an advice. (what to expect/study for culture of intervie, tips etc.) Would the interview have a lot of technical questions?

Also, I am very confused about the corporate finance job at Freedie Mac, is this considered and comparable to "front office" in banking industry or does this align with more operations middle/back office jobs.

Thank you for your help!

I also have no idea what questions they might ask but make sure you look presentable.

Tailored suit, pressed shirt, recent hair cut, clean shave, etc.

Don't be afraid to pause before you answer questions to think about them, try to avoid saying umm.

Make sure you check bloomberg / wall street journal that morning so your up on the news, or at least familiar w/ some of the comings and goings.

good luck
