As a Financial Analyst with Barclays Leveraged Finance, you will be asked to help measure the working capital of organizations. In the definition you provide to your interviewer, ensure that you give them at least the basic definition of the calculation: current assets minus current liabilities. Then, talk about real situations where you've used the measurement to make critical decisions in a professional environment. This will confirm with your interviewer that you have the ability to use the measurement in this job.

"In my current role, we measure working capital to gauge the ability of a company to pay off its debts quickly. In working with many industries, from retails to the public sector, the determination of a company's ability to do so based on calculation can differ greatly from industry to industry. To calculate, a range of line items from the company are used to take their current assets minus their current liabilities. In the retail industry, seasonal spikes in business create the need for much higher working capital, and if hired for this role, I have a great understanding of each industry's specific needs."
