Interviewing with a Trading firm for the very first time. What kind of questions should I expect?

Hi

I have a 30 minutes phone interview this Thursday with a Prop Trading Firm. I am a financial engineering student.

What kind of questions should I expect. How much will be fit, behavior, and technical questions.

Thanks for the help
