I just received an interview for a Securities Lending Trading position internally at my firm, however I'm super underprepared for the interview this week as I have no coding skill outside of limited SQL querying. The HR representative asked me to provide a mathematical model I had done either at University or work (I haven't since I was a general finance and economics' major). They want to see SQL, Python, and VBA skills so I was thinking of webscraping yahoo finance equity data, pulling it into Excel, and then developing some sort of efficient portfolio model based on certain holdings in Excel. It's not much but the only thing I can think of doing that would be even modestly up to par for what they're asking. They said that they wanted to see snip its of the coding done so I'm thinking it's a lost cause as querying and coding a model are not one in the same.Thoughts on how I can go about showing some technical skills or should I just be honest with them and see if showing my willingness to learn will give me a shot.
