Your interviewer is aiming to assess your experience level as a Financial Analyst. How you answer this question could potentially inform them of your communication skills, your confidence level, and whether you are up to date on the more relevant and current forecasting models. As Peter Drucker, one of the most widely-known and influential thinkers on management, once said, "The best way to predict the future is to create it." So study every aspect of the company you are interviewing for. Prepare and anticipate every question they may throw your way. Create your future and be confident in your interview performance. View every question as an opportunity to showcase how well you've prepared for your interview. Doing so will set you up as an ideal candidate and increase your professional worth. Share the factors that you consider, such as operations, financial results, the company's position in the marketplace, and the different characteristics of the current market.
