Interview preparation!! any advice greatly appreciated!!!

Hi, I just started my undergraduate studies and I applied for several spring insight internships at BBs. Fortunately, I was invited to the final interviews. One is in London (I reside in continental Europe), another is a telephone interview. I do not want to disclose too much information, but what would you do to prepare? are there any interview guide? I was sent a pdf with some information on what to expect from the BB that offers me the interview in London, but the other BB just organised a telephone interview with me, so they did not say what to expect. no materials or anything.

admittedly, im quite nervous. can anyone help me by telling me how to prepare and what to expect? especially on phone interviews, since I got a pdf document for the london one.

Thank you very much!!!

Are you applying for any specific divisions? IBD? S&T? ER? Basically the interviews will be a mix of fit and technical questions. Fit questions being: Walk Me Through Your Resume? Strengths? Weaknesses? Why our Bank? Why this specific division? Why Finance?

Technicals will depend on the division.

Check out ibankingfaq.com. There are also some good guides you can buy on WSO and personally I think the Breaking into wall street guides are good as well. Really make sure you have your fit question down and a well crafted story as to why you want to work in Finance.

Good Luck.
