Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - My interview for the role of a Director who would help quickly setup the Firm's line of service, focussed on the value add I could bring towards achieving the business plans/strategies/objectives. It was both technical and general in nature. It was a two hour discussion around my knowledge of the market and business environment in region, lenders and business owners attitudes toward and my previous restructuring experience, and finally a lucid assessment of the existing situation and anticipated future business developments and the emerging opportunities in these scenarios.

My simple advice to any candidate for a job would be to do a thorough SWOT and due-diligence on the employer and the role. Understanding the job requirements is key to formulating a convincing response to "why I fit the job". While understanding how the job aligns with employer's goals can help demonstrate how you can achieve these and why they should hire you. This approach changed my interview to more of a joint discussion on a new set up in a very competitive environment with limited visibility on future "sustainable" demand. I was able to informatively and analytically discuss immediate need for loan restructurings, administration, liquidation advisory services for lenders, and the nature of more long-term engagements with business owners for business turnarounds and rehabilitations in a post pandemic business environment.
