Credit Trading Interview Prep? Best Methods and practices

Hello all, I recently received a first round interview for a credit S&T role (think TD, RBC, BMO) and I'm wondering what the best ways are to prepare. I'm currently a graduate student with no full time experience however, I have internship and school organization experience within credit markets and private credit. As of now, I've been preparing for it as a DCM role so accounting and valuation skills plus how the FED manipulates supply & demand (6 methods), inflation metrics, and of course my behavioral and brain teasers.

Could anyone direct me to any good sources of information for learning more about credit trading (IG, HY, , loans) Emerging Markets, and how to best prepare?

Thanks in advance! Anything helps.
