Graduate Job Interview - Business Analyst

Hey guys,

I don't usually post on here but I'd really like some of your hints & suggestions on this.

Basically to cut it short, I went for a graduate assessment centre for a Graduate Business Analyst position & I've been informed that I was successful and through to the next stage.

They will now arrange another interview, either in the office or over skype with one of the managers.

At this point, how should I prepare for this interview?

Many Thanks

Well depends on the firm though... If you haven't already (and if you haven't then I don't know what the hell you're playing at...) really research the firm, it's industry sector, SWOT, it's main clients and other than that just know your stuff.

Thank you for your input, yes before the assessment centre I did quite abit of research, but will do more now. This is the company: http://www.whiteclarkegroup.com/

Business analysis is about turning the problem domain into software requirements. You are the middle man between the business needing a problem solving and the developers / engineers who solve it. So what is it about you that would be good at that job?

Also come up with answers to the stock, but annoying (and useless) questions - What achievement are you most proud of? What is your worst quality? (Frame this as a positive or make it irrelevant to the job i.e. I get annoyed by disruptive people - I support the blues, I bite my nails yada yada yada), Give an example of how you influenced a team situation? What is the worst mistake you made? (You can be honest on this one because everyone learns from their mistakes - make it a funny one)

Have some questions for them. In our desperation for a job we forget that an interview is a two way process. Get them to sell the company to you. What is it about their company that would make you want to work for them rather than all the other companies you have lined up?

Most importantly, be yourself. Grad interviews at this stage are mainly about personality fit. If you have it, great. If you don't, don't get too disheartened. Think of interviewing like dating. Do you necessarily want to jump into bed with the first person that comes along?

Good luck!
