Houlihan Lokey Financial Analyst Interview

Hi,

I have a first round interview with Houlihan Lokey on campus next week. It is for the Restructuring/corporate finance position in Chicago. I was wondering if anyone had interviewed for the position in the past and could offer any advice. I have been preparing mostly for the technical portion but I am an economics major and don't have in depth knowledge on finance/accounting.
