Credit Analyst Question:

More technical expertise and programming experience you have, the better off you will be. You should first prove to your interviewer that you have a strong understanding of PFE, CVaR and VAR analysis tools. These are the ones that are most commonly used, so a strong understanding of all of them is critical. Similarly, if you have programming experience, you are much more likely to be hired. Tell your interviewer if you are proficient with C++, MATLAB, SAS, SQL, VB/VBA and Moody's KMV. The more of these you understand, the better off you will be and the more likely that your interviewer will be impressed with your abilities.
