Questions i was asked during my GS Internal Audit first round phone interview.

Hi guys,
I recently created a post few days seeking advise on how to explain my GPA situation. Link below for reference. EDIT: I couldn't post the link but the forum topic is SCORED GS INTERNAL AUDIT INTERVIEW, PROBLEM WITH GPA

List of questions
- Tell me about yourself (walk me through your resume)?
- Why Economics (my major)?
- Why Goldman Sachs?
- Why Internal Audit?
- Talk about each of your extracurricular activities
- What made you start this finance/ investing club?
- Now the BIG question. I see no GPA on my resume why?
- I got this bonus question - What macroeconomic factor shows how an economy (i.e USA) is doing?

I hope this helps anybody. Now to praying and hoping that i move to the second round. Comment below for any questions.

Investment Banking LinkedIn Review

“I wanted to share some feedback on my sessions with Andre. Andre has deep knowledge of investment banking, and he approaches every topic very strategically. His guidance while I was preparing my interview stories was especially valuable. One thing that stood out was that even a week after our previous session, Andre remembered me and everything I had shared about my background and goals. That meant a lot to me and made our sessions much more productive. He is also very direct. He tells me clearly what works and what doesn’t, which is exactly the kind of feedback I need. At the same time, he is funny and witty, so working with him is a lot of fun. Our sessions almost always run longer than scheduled, because Andre makes sure we cover everything properly before we wrap up. He is very dedicated and very patient, and I really appreciate the time and effort he puts in. I leave every session with Andre feeling clearer and more confident about my preparation. Thank you, Andre.”
