Interview Details

What did the interview consist of?
1 on 1 Interview
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Corporate Presentation: network with 3-4 out of the 12-15 bankers present, shooting for associates as well as the captain of the recruiting team (an MD). Simply trying to get them to remember your name/face the next time you smile and shake their hand at the next event.
Informational Interview: You are guaranteed one through on-campus-recruiting; just pass their filter; don't be weird, aggressive, or shy - just confident and enthusiastic
Closed List Networking Events: Just combine the two things above into one. You just need to be the guy or gal they can remember in a somewhat positive light at the least to get the call for an interview.
The Interview: Again, same approach as a closed list networking event, but bring forward a lot of accounting knowledge, and be well prepared for the behavioral questions (I'm not at this point yet, but this is my plan).
