Sales Trader Interview:How to prepare/ What to expect

Full time position.
I have read through a load of the S&T interview threads, guides etc. However, there isn't a lot for this specific role.
I know what the role entails, so I think I can kinda intuit what some of the questions might be.
Still, if anyone has got concrete experience of what interview questions to expect it would be appreciated. If you are/ have been in any of the S&T functions what would you be asking during entry-level Sales Trader interviews?

Thanks!

Salestrading is all about being able to summarize a situation into a 10-30 second pitch. I would describe it as being a short term sales person if that makes sense. I spent a couple weeks on a salestrading desk back in the day, and if it can be summed up to one task, its getting a research sheet in the morning with like 6-10 "things" (recommendation chagnes, news etc) and then calling your clients who you think will care soo they might trade some stock with you.
