JPM interview/Global Corporate Bank, Junior FI Banker/unemployed/previous experience as temp staff

Hi Monkeys,

Short term user but have loved lurking around your forums in my spare time.

Long story short, I need some advice on a 2nd round interview I have with JP Morgan tomorrow. The role is not in Investment Banking but in Corporate Baking but from what I have read on their website at JPM the two are interrelated so I came here for advice.

The reason I need your help is that paper wise I am not the brightest candidate: currently unemployed (left early this month) / previous experience as KYC analyst and temporary staff (6 months at HSBC) / experience before that was in different industry (a NPO that does work similar to Peace Corps). I'm pretty sure the only reason I gotten this far out of about 20 sales/junior relationship manager positions in BB, was because the HR manager may have misread my resume but at the interview I was so persistent that he gave me a 2nd round.

Either way, this was THE position I was after. I have been wanting to go into a sales/relationship manager position and luckily this job will provide that path for me. So far I have been doing some research on the company/department and the Corporate Banking division at JPM has significance as it produces quite a lot of value to the firm. My 6 month stint as a KYC analyst is also helpful in the daily tasks too.

Here are some details of the JD
