Financial Macroeconomics - Book suggestion - interview preparation

Hello, 

I am posting this to ask for help/suggestion on how to prepare for interviews. 

In summary, I would like to land a job in Wealth Management/Investment Management and not sure how to prepare for technical questions. 

I am quite confident when it comes to specific questions related to financial instruments (options etc..) as I studied them in depth at school - Master in Finance. 

However, I am not so confident when it comes to practical questions in connection to how macroeconomic variable (and current events) potentially influence the various market variables, monetary policy, how to rebalance correctly a portfolio based on market conditions (at least in theory). 

Does any of you have any suggestion on a specific book which deals with these sorts of topics in a practical and intuitive way ?

Thanks for helping.
