Ensure that you've done your homework beforehand and can speak confidently about Freddie Mac's history, mission, and products. Interviewers can easily see if you've done adequate research and preparation before the interview or if you know next to nothing about the company. Make sure you become familiar with Freddie Mac's website and secondary sources that provide useful information on the company. You don't need to be an expert, but you should be well-versed in Freddie Mac's products and services and what will be required of you in this role.

"Having worked with a team that contracted for Freddie Mac, I'm familiar with the work that you do at the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. I understand that Freddie Mac was created in 1970, a few decades after Fannie Mae, to expand the secondary mortgage market. I am, of course, well-versed in the process of buying mortgages from secondary sources, pooling mortgage-backed securities, and then selling these securities on the open market. In doing so, you promote stability and liquidity in the housing market and make homeownership more accessible to more people. This mission is important to me on a personal level, and I'm excited to contribute to this meaningful work. What I'm curious to learn more about from you are the most important initiatives happening now within your team at Freddie Mac, if you're able to share."
