Private Equity Interview Structure

I will be having a first-round interview with an LMM PE firm specifically for an internship within the value creation team. I am new to the PE industry having only interned in one of the MBB and another tier 2 firm for a combined tenure of less than 6 months. 

Here are some of my questions regarding the application process (first round: 2x 30 minute interviews): 

  1. What would the interview entail? Since I am applying to the value creation team, will it likely be a case interview?
  2. Will there be any technical interviews for a value creation team? If so, what kind of questions will I get? Will value creation interviews include modeling case studies?

  3. How can I best prepare for the interviews? Also, welcome any tips and advice on how i can excel in the interview
    Note: I did reach out to the recruitment team and and team members via LinkedIn, but have yet to receive a response, so any help from the community will be appreciated
