Interview preparation first.
Not an investment-banking modelling course. Not a generic interview guide.
THE INTERVIEW MOMENT
An interview cannot be replayed.
Applications can take weeks. The interview may last less than an hour. When the opportunity arrives, you need more than memorised definitions: you need to explain the role, analyse a borrower and communicate a clear judgement under pressure.
The aim is not to know everything. It is to be properly prepared for what the interview is designed to test.
01UnderstandThe role and the bank
02AnalyseFinancials and credit
03DecideWould you lend?
04CommunicateDefend the answer

FROM KNOWLEDGE TO JUDGEMENT
Three lending decisions. Increasingly realistic pressure.
Work through a borrower’s request, calculate the key numbers, test the downside and defend a recommendation.

INTERVIEW JUDGEMENT
Knowing the definition is only the start.
A strong candidate can form a provisional view, identify the missing information and explain what must happen before approval.
QUESTION 01 / 20
You are given incomplete information on an otherwise reasonable borrower. Which is the strongest interview response?
Choose the response that demonstrates the strongest lending judgement.
CHECK YOUR READINESS
Knowledge checks throughout. A final assessment at the end.
Short quizzes reinforce the banking and credit concepts as you progress. The final assessment tests whether you can apply them with the judgement expected in an interview.
