<p>Hey guys, I have an interview with a fixed-income capital markets firm in a week. It will most likely be a phone interview. What kind of questions should I expect to be asked; I have never had a real interview before.</p>

<p>Should I be worried about being asked technical questions or just behavioral questions? What is the best way to prepare for it? I'm really nervous.</p>

<p>Also, what are some good responses to questions such as:</p>

<p>1) Why did you pick finance as your major?</p>

<p>2) Why isn't your GPA higher? (My GPA isn't too great because I messed up my freshman year, but I have significantly done better every year since then.)</p>

<p>3) What is your greatest weakness?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
