What this markets interview template covers

Public markets and asset-management interviews test curiosity about markets as much as culture fit. Keep a living one-pager: your pitch, a sector or macro view, and two behavioural stories with metrics.

When the invite is one-way video, draft short CAR or STAR answers and rehearse to the clock before you sit the public-markets practice pack.

How to practise

Open Interview prep, start a general or blank workbook, and add rounds that match your invitation. Refresh your market view the morning of the interview — stale news reads as low interest.
