Questions regarding Credit Analyst Interview (Originally Posted: 03/14/2017)

Hi all, I have an interview coming up in a few days for US Bank as a "Portfolio Review Specialist." I have no relevant experience, period. Junior in college with no prior internships. Economics major.

The job description is listed below, this is all there was explaining the position. My Questions: - With no relevant job experience, how do I spin myself in this interview? - What sort of questions should I be expecting? (technicals) - What type of job is this? (so I can do more research, because at the moment i'm not really sure exactly what this job is.) - Any general advice for me? I really need this internship, I need to crush this interview.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Interview questions for credit analyst roles that are focused on capital markets (Originally Posted: 09/14/2016)

Hey guys,

I have an upcoming interview next week for a credit analyst role at a bank that is not concentrated in traditional corporate banking products (i.e., terms loans, working capital) but more towards capital markets products. In other words, the bank that I am applying for is more like GS or MS rather than WF or BOA.

Therefore, I need a good understanding of derivatives and capital market products provided from the bank. However, my previous roles only mostly covered financial analysis and underwriting for traditional banking products offered to corporates, not financial institutions or commodity players.

I have a few days left to prepare for the interview. What kind of technical questions should I be expecting? Are there any good references out there on the internet? How should I prepare for a question asking what makes you think you can do well on this role given that you don't have any sufficient experience in dealing with capital market products?

Thank you.

Got a first-round phone interview next week. Anybody know what I should expect? For what it's worth, I've only held internships on the equity side. Much thanks in advance.

Hey guys,

I have a FT credit analyst interview with BAML in their GBAM division in a few weeks. For those of you that have been through the process or are familiar with it, I was wondering how will the interview be? Is it all fit or should I prepare for some technicals as well?

Any feedback/advice is greatly appreciated!
