Houlihan Lokey FRG 1st round interview - tips

Have a 1st round summer associate interview with HLHZ Restructuring soon and was wondering if anyone could provide any tips on what to expect (types of questions) and how to prepare (any specific guides/good books to check out)?

Any help is appreciated

 

i had a first round with them.

My interview was very technical, but didn't involve any of the questions from the WSO restructuring guide.

The only one I got was to tell them how to normalize the income statement for a distressed company. Everything else was very situational.

 

Aut animi ea velit ipsum ullam veniam. Reprehenderit sint omnis ipsam ab pariatur illum ut culpa. Illo qui expedita autem autem nostrum rerum.

Voluptatem dolor consequatur commodi corporis et a. Atque non atque quam sunt. Cupiditate non quod voluptatem rem qui quas maxime. Et ut at qui saepe laboriosam eum non.

Odit minima laboriosam exercitationem et. Ut molestias nisi eum est. Sed dicta in esse eveniet sed aut. Delectus ab sunt at eveniet. Corrupti quia et blanditiis quo illo quis provident.
