It began with a short self-introduction (about 1–2 minutes), followed by several resume-based questions. The interviewer asked about my most recent internship — specifically, which market I focused on and which industry I researched. I was then asked to briefly analyze one company I had studied before, highlighting my key findings. Toward the end, I was also asked about my leadership experience in a student club, including what responsibilities I held and what initiatives I led.
