    Well, it would be plenty of questions, but some most critial questions are. 1/ why do you want to do this kind of job? if so, what make you think that you will do good at it. 2/ what qualities you have that make you different or better than other people? 3/ what is your weakness?

    I work in the financial industry, and all my interviews seemed to have focused around a core of questions, like:

    "Describe a time that you were in conflict with a co-worker, and how did you solve the problem."

    "Give us a time that you had to explain a complex idea to a naive customer." – very likely.

    "Give us an example of when you had to use multiple resources and work with multiple parties to complete a task or solve a problem."

    The key is to give them specific examples, and what you did. To a certain extent they will ask about experience, but mainly they will be deciding if you are a good fit. I think my current situation had less to do with my education and experience then it did with complementary skills and personality.

    Sounds like an entry-level financial sales position… which means the interview will be all about your personality, drive, and ambition.
