Upcoming Portfolio Management Analyst Interview - Help needed

I have an upcoming portfolio management analyst interview this coming week. I have been told there will be both the technical, company, and behavioral topics. What questions are likely to come up and how might you best recommend preparing for it?

Recently landed an SA position at a MF for a portfolio management position.

Questions consisted of a lot of market centric questions across multiple food groups.

What do you think of retail? Where would you look for opportunities in retail?

Industrial? What are some of the weaknesses in this industrial investment (included an outline of a property).

I would say for me having an opinion on each food group was key and making sure I was well read beforehand.
