  1. Mock interview #1-main part of interview Interviewer: You’re an English major at Yale. Being a financial analyst requires strong analytical skills, which you don’t appear to have. Zhi: While it’s true that I haven’t developed analytical skills through my English courses, I have done so through my coursework at Yale’s School of Management or SOM. Interviewer: Really? How? Zhi: In two ways. First, I completed a yearlong course at SOM on financial analysis. And second, I and three SOM students worked on a special Yale task force that involved analyzing the costs related to building the new SOM building.

Zhi: Overall, we needed to control costs while ensuring that SOM’s new building would be state of the art. Therefore, we: • Collected and analyzed the costs related to similar projects across the U.S. • Determined how to control SOM costs through improved competitive bidding and other means • Made recommendations to SOM management Interviewer: Oh, so you have some experience with financial analysis. But, our analysts also need to be able to write clear and concise reports.

Interviewer: Oh, I almost forgot. I have another interview at 11. I think that you’re a competitive candidate. We’ll be getting back to you soon.
