During your interview, expect to mostly be asked about your knowledge of the industry, your expectations for the job, and how much time you would be willing to dedicate towards it. In addition, you are expected to be able to work with Excel, work with a variety of personalities, and manage many projects at once. Be sure that you are informed about the company prior to the interview and understand the basics of finance."

They asked me whether I had any experience in a specific part of the role, to which they knew I hadn't, as I had already discussed this in my application and initial discussions with the recruiter. So to then be put forward for an interview, and then turned down because of this reason was a bit confusing, when they already knew that I had no experience in that one specific part.
