Investor Relations Interviews

I am looking to interview with firms for investor relations roles, but I don't know where to start with my interview prep. My background is in IB from a top middle market firm.

1. Is there any difference in interview prep for investor relations for a PE firm versus corporate roles?

2. What questions should I expect?

3. What should I read to prepare for the interviews?

4. What are they looking for from a candidate?

Hey Kylie295, I swear if I had a silver banana for every lonely thread I posted too I'd be richer than @compbanker ...

More suggestions...

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
